“ Insightful ”
In Foxe's Book of Martyrs: Chapter VI: An Account of the Persecutions in Italy, Under the Papacy, Italy is identified as the centre of popery, the seat of the pontiff, and the source of the various errors which have spread themselves over other countries, deluded the minds of thousands, and diffused the clouds of superstition and bigotry over the human understanding.
Unfortunately, the Protestant Reformation, while adopted by some Italian born inhabitants, did not take root in Italy given that most Italians preferred popery over Protestantism. |
