DESCRIPTION
In 1885, the former Catholic priest Charles Chiniquy published his biography: “Fifty Years in the Church of Rome.” A 2009 biography declares that he remains Canada’s best-selling author of all time. Thirteen years after it was first printed, 70 editions of Fifty Years in the Church of Rome were circulating and it had been translated into at least nine languages. In it, Chiniquy made the startling claim that officials and laymen from the Catholic Church had, in fact, been responsible for the murder of his very close friend, Abraham Lincoln.
