Belloc argues that Europe and the Catholic Church are one thing: the Roman Empire did not fall but was transformed by the Church, Britain never ceased to belong to Christendom, and the Reformation was a disastrous break. Chapters move from the Empire through the Dark and Middle Ages to the Reformation, written with deliberate and combative partisanship.
