Christian ethics

Description

In Bridwell Library's copy of the 1785 Venetian edition of St. Alfonso María de Ligorio's work, the passage condemned by the Mexican Inquisition in 1804 has been thoroughly deleted in ink. As the broadside explained, the passage questions the necessity of confession before communion and therefore must be expurgated "por ser peligrosa en la práctica" ("because it is dangerous in practice").

Creator

Liguori, Alfonso Maria de', Saint, 1696–1787 and Mansi, Giovan Domenico, 1692–1769.
