Essays on the Origin, Doctrines, and Discipline of the Early Irish Church

This volume presents several essays by Patrick Francis Moran on the origin of the Irish church. Moran illustrates that the church, after years of persecution, came back full circle to its original position in relation to the Church of Rome, returning to the doctrines held in the earliest ages. Moran outlines modern theories regarding St. Patrick and discusses the sentiments of the early Irish church regarding Rome, its teachings on the Eucharist, its devotion to the Virgin Mary, and more.
