Polish Jesuit Piotr Skarga: On The Anabaptists

The major sin and most terrible injustice in this kingdom is blasphemy towards the Christian God, one in the Holy Trinity, which takes place and is allowed to grow.

Read Fr. Piotr Skarga's entire sermon,
SERMONS TO THE DIET Eighth Sermon: On the Sixth Illness of the Commonwealth Which Comes From Open Sins and Lack of Punishment for Them (here)

Piotr Skarga (February 2, 1536 [1] – September 27, 1612 [2]; actual name: Piotr Powęski; referred to in some English sources as Peter Skarga) was a Polish Jesuit, preacher, hagiographer, polemicist, and leading figure of the Counter-reformation in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. He was called the "Polish Bossuet" due to his oratorical abilities.
