“We are not aware that there has been published any work which has exposed the inner life and working of the Roman Church as does the present volume. It is surprising to see what a keen insight Miss Cusack has into the whole Romish system—political, social, and literary.”—Rock.
“This most interesting, important, and even sensational book.… We heartily commend it, and thank most heartily the talented authoress for her faithfulness in revealing the hidden evils of Romanism.”—Protestant Observer.
“Some of the instances related by Miss Cusack are heartrending. The Romish Church to-day, as ever, is built on lies, forgeries, shameless misrepresentations of history and the positions of opponents, and suppressions of the truth.”—Christian World.
“If there be any belated Protestant in the present day who thinks that the Papal Apostasy is a branch of the true Church of Christ, and that it is capable of being used by God as an instrument for the elevation of mankind, we would advise him to read the Nun of Kenmare’s new book. Miss Cusack, like many others, was beguiled for a season, but painful experience opened her eyes to the true nature of this cleverly devised, but corrupt and tyrannical organisation. It is clear from her recital that the continued existence of Popery as a religious (or rather, irreligious) system, rests on the dense ignorance of its votaries. Even a slight knowledge of revealed truth would be fatal to the pretensions of the Papacy. The author tells us that the best educated of Roman Catholics are entirely ignorant of the Bible. The great duty of the hour is to enlighten these unhappy people as to the true nature of the system that enslaves them. Under the circumstances, that is no easy task, but we are hopeful that it is being gradually accomplished; and Miss Cusack’s book would go far to bring it about if the mass of Romanists could have the opportunity of reading it.”—Christian.
