Why I Became A Catholic Or Religio Viatoris (1898) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169033061)

Why I Became A Catholic Or Religio Viatoris is a book written by Henry Edward Manning and published in 1898. The book is a personal account of Manning's journey to Catholicism, which he describes as a ""pilgrimage"" or ""religious journey"" (hence the Latin subtitle, Religio Viatoris). Manning was a prominent Anglican cleric who converted to Catholicism in 1851, and the book is his attempt to explain why he made this decision.The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a detailed account of Manning's spiritual journey, beginning with his early life and education in the Anglican Church, and ending with his conversion to Catholicism. Manning describes the intellectual and emotional struggles he faced as he grappled with the differences between Anglicanism and Catholicism, and explains how he ultimately came to the conclusion that Catholicism was the true faith.The second part of the book is a more philosophical and theological exploration of the Catholic faith. Manning discusses the nature of Catholicism, its relationship to other religions, and its role in society. He also explores some of the key doctrines of Catholicism, such as the sacraments, the authority of the Church, and the role of the Pope.Overall, Why I Became A Catholic Or Religio Viatoris is a fascinating and insightful account of one man's journey to Catholicism. It provides a unique perspective on the religious and intellectual debates of the 19th century, and offers a compelling argument for the truth of the Catholic faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
