Summary | "Auricular Confession and Popish Nunneries" by William Hogan is a controversial text combining personal narrative and critiques of Roman Catholic doctrine, written in the mid-19th century. The work primarily addresses the practices of the Catholic Church, particularly focusing on the confessional system and the supposed moral failures within nunneries. Hogan expresses a strong animosity towards the institution of Catholicism, arguing that it leads to widespread corruption and a betrayal of ethical standards. At the start of the book, the author establishes his credentials and shares personal anecdotes that illustrate his transition from a Catholic priest to a vocal critic of the church. He recounts unsettling encounters related to auricular confession, detailing the manipulative nature of confessors towards their penitents, particularly focusing on young women. Hogan sets a tone of urgency, warning that such practices threaten societal morals and personal liberties, and he pledges to expose the troubling realities of the church, aiming to awaken his audience to the dangers he perceives are prevalent within Catholic teachings and institutions.
