The Invitation Heeded: Reasons For A Return To Catholic Unity (1870) is a book by James Kent Stone that advocates for the reunification of the Catholic Church. The author argues that the divisions within the Church have led to a weakening of its influence and that a return to unity would strengthen its mission. Stone discusses the historical context of the Church's schism and the theological differences that have arisen since the Reformation. He also addresses the practical challenges of reunification, including the role of the papacy and the need for mutual understanding and forgiveness. The book is a thoughtful reflection on the state of the Catholic Church in the late 19th century and a call to action for its leaders and members.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
