The Church and the People

In this incisive audiobook, historian Joseph McCabe critically examines the Catholic Church's assertions regarding its alliance with workers and its influence on the abolition of slavery, particularly in light of the rise of socialism in the late nineteenth century. Through a historical lens, McCabe presents a compelling argument against the Church's narrative by tracing the evolution of the European worker from Roman slavery onward, delivering a powerful critique of Christianity's stance on industrial philosophy. Originally published in 1919, this work invites listeners to reconsider the role of organized religion in shaping labor dynamics.
