The Grounds of the Catholick Doctrine (1796)

Written in 1732 by English Bishop Richard Challoner (1691-1781), this catechism uses a question-and-answer format to respond to Protestant misunderstandings of the Catholic Faith about the Church, Scripture & Tradition, the Sacraments, the Mass, Purgatory, the Saints, & more. Full of defenses of the Catholic Faith using the 1769 King James Bible, we have added a Biblical Reference for further study. This facsimile edition is retypeset based on the text of the 1796 edition, published by J. P. Coghlin of London, now in the public domain. Historical orthography and typography are kept, with text set in 10/12-point Adobe Caslon Pro, and formatting standardized throughout.
