Mexico City: Imprenta de "El Combate" 1889. xii,237,[1]pp. Contemporary half calf and marbled boards, spine gilt. Moderate rubbing and scuffing to boards and edges, minor insect damage to spine and front board. Text moderately toned. Very good. Item #2107
A decidedly-rare Mexican Anti-Catholic work examining numerous aspects of Catholicism such as baptism, confirmation, penance, communion, marriage, and more from a highly critical point of view. An interesting example of Mexican anti-religious education. The title translates to The Sacraments of the Holy Mother Church written by Cabrion. The author attribution, Cabrion, appears to be a protective pseudonym. The work was printed by the "liberal newspaper" El Combate, which had published Cabrion's Cartas Diabolicas the year before.
