He studied at the college of Nicolet in Canada and entered the priesthood after graduation. At the age of 49 he left the Catholic Church (taking his congregation with him) and became a Presbyterian minister. His encounters with the inner workings of the Roman Church are so enlightening that it could only come from someone who was embedded in such a system for so many years. He later published a number of books and tracts on temperance as well as about his life and experiences in the Church. Several of these were so popular that they were translated into multiple languages. In Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, he covers such topics as: - The Bible and the Priest of Rome - Preparation for the First Communion- Initiation to Idolatry - Intellectual Education in the Roman Catholic College - Moral and Religious Instruction in the Roman Catholic Colleges - Protestant Children in the Convents and Nunneries of Rome - Rome and Education: Why the Church of Rome hates and wants to destroy the Common Schools of the United States - Theology of the Church of Rome: Its Antichristian Character - The Vow of Celibacy - The Impurities of the Theology of Rome - The Priests of Rome and the Holy Fathers - How I swore to give up the Word of God to follow the Word of Men - The Roman Catholic Priesthood, or Ancient and Modern Idolatry - Nine Consequences of the Dogma of Transubstantiation - The Old Paganism under a Christian Name - Simony - Strange and Sacrilegious Traffic in the so-called Body and Blood of Christ - Enormous Sums of Money made by the Sale of Masses - Conversions of Protestants to the Church of Rome - How the Priests Spy on the Protestants Through the Confessional - And Much More!
