Please view / download a PDF sample of this book.

This encyclical, written in 1832, strongly condemns certain modern errors which continue into our day, including liberalism; religious indifferentism (one religion is as good as another); false ‘liberty’ of conscience, speech and action (such as the so-called “freedom of the press” so cherished today, whether in print, video, or electronic – including the internet); certain false ideas of marriage. The pope then teaches what good Catholics should think on these subjects. A fairly easy read.

As with all the papal encyclicals that Christ the King Books publishes, the student is aided by annotations, examples, and illustrations as aids to understanding. Encyclicals can be understood and enjoyed by high school students! Many students become excited when reading the popes’ writings and understanding their reasoning! We have seen firsthand what reading these excellent work does for forming the correct Catholic mindset, and for removing liberalism from the blood. Recommended for grades 11-12 and adults, too!
