description: "Charles Paschal Telesphore Chiniquy was a Canadian socio-political activist and former Catholic priest who left the Catholic Church and converted to Protestant Christianity, becoming a Presbyterian minister. He later rode the lecture circuit in the United States, denouncing the Catholic Church. His themes were that Catholicism was pagan, that Catholics worship the Virgin Mary, and that its theology was anti-Christian."
