In this book Chiniquy has recorded, without salacious detail, his own horrific experiences in the Romish confessional. His account is entirely consistent with the numerous historical works in which the evil practices of the priesthood have been recorded.
Anyone who has studied the history of the Roman church cannot fail to be aware that it is a deplorable organisation, shot through with bloodshed and wickedness. In fact one has to conclude that Roman Catholicism is nothing but a satanic COUNTERFEIT of the true Church of Jesus Christ. (I say 'counterfeit' because outwardly it looks like the real thing and sounds like the real thing while, in fact, it is a worthless sham with nothing to commend it.) How sad that it has, for many hundreds of years, misguided and duped millions of people world-wide; so many of its innocent adherants being unaware of the evils that lie behind Popery, the Vatican and the priesthood.
Now, in 2010, more evidence of the corruption of the Vatican and the RC priesthood has come to light, confirming Chiniquy's experiences back in the 19th century. (Nothing has changed for the better!) His book should be read by Catholics and Protestants alike, so that they may be wiser and more cautious about their assessment of the priesthood and its crafty leaders.
A study of the Inquisition and the Jesuits should be sufficient to convince an open-minded person of the truth of the above statements.
