The Council Of Trent, Plainly Discovered Not To Have Been A Free Assembly

The book titled ""The Council Of Trent, Plainly Discovered Not To Have Been A Free Assembly: By A Collection Of Letters And Papers"" was written by Michael Geddes and was first published in 1714. The book is a collection of letters and papers that aim to prove that the Council of Trent was not a free assembly. The Council of Trent was a meeting of Catholic bishops held in Trento, Italy, between 1545 and 1563. The council was called by the Catholic Church to address the Protestant Reformation and to make reforms within the Church. Geddes argues that the Council of Trent was not a free assembly because it was heavily influenced by the papacy and the Holy Roman Emperor. He claims that the decisions made at the council were predetermined and that the bishops were not allowed to express their own opinions freely. The book provides evidence to support this argument, including letters from bishops who were not allowed to attend the council and accounts of how the council was conducted.Overall, ""The Council Of Trent, Plainly Discovered Not To Have Been A Free Assembly: By A Collection Of Letters And Papers"" is a historical account of the Council of Trent and an argument against its legitimacy as a free assembly. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church and the Protestant Reformation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
