""Protestantism and Catholicity Compared in Their Effects on the Civilization of Europe"" is a book written by the Spanish philosopher and theologian, Jaime Balmes. In this book, Balmes compares the influence of Protestantism and Catholicism on the development of European civilization. He argues that Catholicism has had a more positive impact on European civilization than Protestantism, particularly in terms of art, literature, and social structures.Balmes begins by exploring the historical context of the Reformation and the differences between Protestantism and Catholicism. He then delves into the impact of these two religions on various aspects of European civilization, including education, science, government, and morality.Balmes argues that Catholicism has been more successful in promoting social harmony and stability, as well as fostering a sense of community and solidarity. He also contends that Catholicism has been more successful in promoting art, literature, and culture, particularly through the patronage of the Church.Overall, ""Protestantism and Catholicity Compared in Their Effects on the Civilization of Europe"" is a thought-provoking analysis of the impact of religion on European civilization. It offers a compelling argument for the unique contributions of Catholicism to the development of European culture and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor
The shocks have been so rude, that the earth has, as it were, opened under our feet; and the human mind, which, full of pride and haughtiness, but lately advanced on a triumphal car amid acclamations and cries of victory, has been alarmed and stopped in its career. Absorbed by an important thought, overcome by a profound reflection, it has asked itself, What am I? whence do I come? what is my destination? Religious questions have regained their high importance; and when they might have been supposed to have been scattered by the breath of indifference, or almost annihilated by the astonishing development of material interests, by the progress of the natural and exact sciences, by the continually increasing ardour of political debates, we have seen that, so far from having been stifled by the immense weight which seemed to have overwhelmed them, they have reappeared on a sudden in all their magnitude, in their gigantic form, predominant over society, and reaching from the heavens to the abyss. This disposition of mens minds naturally drew their attention to the religious revolution of the sixteenth century; it was natural that they should ask what this revolution had done to promote the interests of humanity. Unhappily, great mistakes have been made in this inquiry. Either because they have looked at the facts through the distorted medium of sectarian prejudice, or because they have only considered them superficially, men have arrived at the conclusion, that the reformers of the sixteenth century conferred a signal benefit on the nations of Europe, by contributing to the development of science, of the arts, of human liberty, and of every thing which is comprised in the word civilization.
