The Popes of Rome, 1914, Menace Publishing Hardcover

Published in 1914 by the Menace Publishing Company of Aurora, Missouri, The Popes of Rome is an anti-Catholic polemical work produced during the height of the early 20th-century nativist and Protestant reform movements in the United States.

The Menace Publishing Company was best known for issuing The Menace, a widely circulated weekly paper critical of the Catholic Church, and this book expands on those themes.

The volume presents a hostile history of the papacy, portraying the succession of popes in a highly critical light, intended to reinforce the publishers’ religious and political agenda. 

This book is in fair to good condition. Significant writing on inside cover and first page.
