Gavazzi describes the personalities and policies of each Pope, as well as his own interactions with them. He also provides insights into the inner workings of the Vatican and the Catholic Church during this period.In addition to his personal experiences, Gavazzi also offers his opinions on various theological and political issues of the time. He criticizes the Church's stance on freedom of conscience and its treatment of Protestants and other non-Catholics. He also expresses his support for Italian unification and his opposition to the temporal power of the Papacy.Overall, My Recollections of the Last Four Popes and of Rome in Their Times: An Answer to Dr. Wiseman is a fascinating historical document that provides a unique perspective on the Catholic Church during a period of significant change and upheaval.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
