Author Alberger, John, 1809-1889
Title Monks, Popes, and their Political Intrigues
Credits Produced by David Widger
Summary "Monks, Popes, and their Political Intrigues" by John Alberger is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work presents a critical examination of the Catholic Church as a political organization, delving into its perceived conspiratorial designs against the liberties of the American republic. Alberger draws heavily on historical documents, papal letters, and testimonies to support his arguments regarding the Church's political ambitions. The opening of the text sets a provocative tone, outlining the author’s aim to expose the Catholic Church as a historically significant political force rather than a purely spiritual entity. Alberger argues that the Church operates as a complex and influential mechanism involved in political maneuvering, emphasizing its historic ambitions for control and dominion over societies. The introduction features references to various political figures and religious doctrines, framing an assertion that the Church, underneath its religious façade, has sought to dominate secular authority throughout history, causing harm to social liberties and governance.
