Characteristics Political, Philosophical, And Religious

The collection features essays and speeches by Henry Edward Manning, an English cardinal, addressing politics, philosophy, and religion. Divided into three sections, it explores the state's role, church-state relations, and social reform in the political realm; the nature of knowledge, reason versus faith, and the problem of evil in philosophy; and the nature of God, prayer's significance, and the church's societal role in religion. Manning's deep faith and commitment to social justice offer a glimpse into the intellectual and spiritual landscape of the late 19th-century Catholic Church.
