Tentativa Theologica: Episcopal Rights And Ultra-Montane Usurpations (1847)

Tentativa Theologica: Episcopal Rights And Ultra-Montane Usurpations (1847) is a book written by Antonio Pereira de Figueredo. The book focuses on the relationship between the Catholic Church and the state, specifically regarding the power and authority of bishops. De Figueredo argues that the Church should have more autonomy and that the state should not interfere with its affairs. He also criticizes the ultra-montane movement, which advocated for the pope's absolute authority over the Church, as a form of usurpation. The book provides a historical analysis of the relationship between the Church and the state, as well as a theological argument for the autonomy of the Church. It is a significant work in the history of Catholicism in Brazil and Latin America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
