This publication addresses the Roman Catholic community in the Diocese of Elphin, exploring the author's perspective on important religious doctrines and practices. The book serves as a personal account of Connellan's journey and theological evaluations after his departure from the Roman Catholic Church. In this heartfelt letter, Connellan reflects on his time as a Catholic priest and discusses the reasons for his theological scruples. He challenges several core beliefs held by the Roman Catholic Church, such as the practices of confession, the doctrine of transubstantiation, and the authority of the Pope. Using historical references and biblical interpretations, Connellan attempts to persuade his readers to reconsider their faith and practices. Ultimately, he expresses his desire to return to his parishioners, sharing the peace and joy he has found through faith in Christ outside the framework of Roman Catholicism, emphasizing the significance of personal belief and scriptural authority in the Christian faith.
