An Appeal Against Roman Catholic Toleration
In this letter from John Wesley dated 1780, the author rejects religious persecution yet argues Protestants should not tolerate Roman Catholics. He declares no faith should be kept with heretics and condemns papal powers, dispensations, and absolution as undermining allegiance and government security. He warns Catholic growth threatens English liberty.
