"Lectures of Popery" refers to a series of educational or expository talks focused on the doctrines, practices, and history of the Roman Catholic Church, often from a critical perspective. These lectures typically address topics such as the authority of the Pope, the sacraments, and various Catholic traditions. Historically, such lectures were prevalent in Protestant contexts, aiming to inform and sometimes challenge the beliefs associated with Catholicism.
