Popery: The Accommodation of Christianity to the Natural Heart

A lecture contends that the Roman Catholic system constitutes an accommodation of Christian belief to the natural desires and fears of human beings. It distinguishes outward action from inner principle, focusing on how rituals, doctrines, and institutional arrangements soothe anxieties, gratify moral and emotional cravings, and bind communities. The author traces psychological tendencies that the system addresses, analyzes theological and practical correlates rather than merely historical episodes, and invites attentive, reflective assessment of underlying principles.
