Project Gutenberg 2011-10-10 Public domain in the USA. 174 Ronge, Johannes 1813 1887 Ronge, Johann Ronge, John Anonymous Anonyme Anonymous, Anonymous John Ronge; The Holy Coat of Treves; New German-Catholic Church Produced by David Widger "The Holy Coat of Treves" by Johannes Ronge et al. is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The text delves into the ceremonial exhibition of a purported relic, the Holy Coat, in Treves, and critiques the beliefs surrounding it, particularly the influence of the Catholic Church on the faithful. The narrative unwraps the intense devotion of pilgrims and the socio-religious implications of relic worship while questioning the legitimacy and morality of such practices. The opening of the work sets a critical tone by invoking the words of Luther, suggesting skepticism towards relics and the motivations of the Church leaders who promote them. It describes the history and significance associated with the Holy Coat, detailing previous exhibitions and the fervor it incites among pilgrims, who are often drawn from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Ronge's writing conveys concern about the exploitation of the faithful's beliefs for financial gain and the potential spiritual harm that such practices may cause. As the ceremonies unfold, the author paints a vivid picture of both the miraculous claims and the darker realities underlying this veneration, positioning the reader to reflect on the broader critique of institutional religion.
