1765 La Véritable Croyance de l’Église Catholique — French Catholic Theology | Paris, Jean-Baptiste Coignard

A beautifully preserved 18th-century French theological work examining the doctrines of the Catholic Church in direct response to Protestant critiques. La Véritable Croyance de l’Église Catholique, et les Preuves de Tous les Points de sa Doctrine presents a systematic defense of Catholic belief, grounded firmly in Scripture and ecclesiastical authority.

Printed in Paris in 1765 by Jean-Baptiste Coignard, Imprimeur du Roi, this volume reflects the intellectual and religious climate of pre-Revolutionary France. The text is organized with detailed tables of contents and doctrinal arguments addressing the sacraments, the Mass, apostolic succession, papal primacy, and disputed theological interpretations—making it both a historical and scholarly artifact.
