CHINIQUY, FATHER

The Priest, the Woman, and the Confessional

Minneapolis, MN: Osterhus Publishing House, N.D.. Stapled wraps. 5 1/2 x 8 1/4"; 143 pages; Soft cover is stapled wraps. Slight rubbing to covers. Small sticker residue on front cover. Pages are clean and tight. No publication date. Originally written in 1875. 'What happens when women are commanded, under penalty of eternal damnation, to confess to a man their deepest sexual thoughts and sins? Former priest, Charles Chiniquy, continually dealt with this problem. He personally heard the confessions of over 200 priests. All but 21 admitted falling prey to Satan's devices in this area. This book reverently and tastefully exposes why confession of sins to a man cannot be of God. You'll see how this practice destroys both the priest and the person doing the confessing.'. Near Fine .

Father Chiniquy

The Priest, the Woman and the Confessional

New York, Fleming H. Revell Company, 1880. Hardcover. 296p. A beige hardcover book with a picture of a grinning priest hearing a woman's confession embossed on the cover. Light spotting to boards and mild foxing to edges and endpapers. Text clean and binding tight. Copyright date is 1880, but the book looks as if it was printed later, perhaps 1920s. The book discusses the dangers of "auricular confession," or the Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation. The author was a former Catholic priest turned Presbyterian minister and an activist involved in the Temperance movement. His work went on to influence Jack Chick and his famous "Chick Tracts," which are also notoriously anti-Catholic. Good .
