The War Upon Religion by Francis A. Cunningham
"The War Upon Religion" by Francis A. Cunningham is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the rise and impact of anti-Christian movements throughout Europe, detailing how these movements have influenced the Catholic Church's position and the broader societal landscape. The discussion likely encompasses various crises the Church faced, such as Jansenism and the Protestant Reformation, as well as other significant historical events that challenged its authority.At the start of the work, Cunningham introduces the concept that the Church has historically navigated immense trials but has endured and evolved. His analysis focuses on the interconnectedness of secular philosophies and movements, including Rationalism, Positivism, and Modernism, which he argues have contributed to a growing anti-Christian sentiment. This opening sets the stage for exploring specific instances of dissent, such as Jansenism and Quietism, emphasizing the internal and external pressures that have shaped the Church over the centuries.
