The work provides a critical examination of the doctrines of the Catholic Church, contrasting them with Biblical scriptures and the teachings of early Christian writers. Faber aims to reveal the discrepancies he perceives between the tenets of Romanism and early Christian beliefs, proposing a defense of scriptural and historical accuracy. The opening of the book introduces the author’s intent and methodology for challenging the doctrines of the Church of Rome. Faber highlights the Church's assertions of maintaining a continuous line of doctrinal truth since the apostolic age, citing the Council of Trent as a key source for these claims. He questions the validity of these assertions by emphasizing the need for concrete historical evidence, stating that while the Church makes strong claims of adherence to scriptural teachings, many of these doctrines are neither explicitly stated in the Bible nor supported by early Christian writings. The introduction sets the stage for Faber's systematic critique of key doctrines such as transubstantiation and purgatory, demonstrating his approach of using both scripture and historical context to evaluate the teachings of the Roman Catholic faith.
