    GEORGE STANLEY FABER: NO POPERY AND PROPHECY BY S.W. GILLEY Durham "Defoe says, that there were a hundred thousand stout country­ fellows in his time ready to fight to the death against popery, without knowing whether popery was a man or a horse". 1 Such anti-Cath­ olicism has been a central strand in English culture since the Refor­ mation, a prejudice "into which we English are born, as into the fall of Adam", 2 as part of a nationalist assertion of the virtues of Protestant Britannia against its Popish enemies, France and Spain, and as the very heart of an English epic of liberation from Rome in the six­ teenth century. The story needed a villain, as Jack needed a giant; and what better villain than Giant Pope? The fires of Smithfield were burnt into the popular mind by George Foxe's Acts and Mouments, commonly called his Book if Marryrs, the most widely read of all works after the Bible, and the British epic identified Romanism with continental despotism and tyranny, with poverty and wooden shoes, so that the Reformation became the mother of English enlighten­ ment and liberty.3 Anti-Catholicism had a continuous history from 1520, and in the eighteenth century was an essential part in the definition of British nationhood.4 Its passions among the quality, however, abated some- I W.

  • THE COMMON-SENSE ARGUMENT for PAPAL INFALLIBILITY SANDRA YOCUM MIZE University of Dayton
    Theological Studies 57 (1996) THE COMMON-SENSE ARGUMENT FOR PAPAL INFALLIBILITY SANDRA YOCUM MIZE University of Dayton MERICAN CATHOLIC apologists of the 19th century argued publicly A for the special place of the Petrine office, affirming papal primacy both of honor and jurisdiction. The successor of Peter served as the final arbiter in controversies over the practical applications of the divine law. Many also highlighted his role as vicar of Christ, the visible manifestation of the Church's spiritual source of authority. After the declaration of infallibility at Vatican I, these same apologists publicly defended as theologically reasonable the infallibility of Peter's succes­ sor, Christ's earthly vicar. These positions are well known. What has not been so clearly recognized is the way in which the presuppositions of the 19th-century American intellectual scene shaped the American Catholic defense of papal infallibility. The common intel­ lectual assumptions had their source in Scottish "common sense" real­ ism, the nation's vernacular philosophy that shaped a variety of public discourses including those of religious apologists. Indeed, at the conser­ vative end of the broad spectrum of American religious thought, com­ mon-sense affirmations of an infallible religious authority predomi­ nated. The very influential Princeton theologians, even as they decried an infallible pope, still insisted upon the existence of an infallible religious authority, i.e. Scripture.1 Their arguments were rooted in the common sense that such authority was the necessary condition for faith. The point of this article is to show that the distinctive discourse of American Catholic apologetics grew out of the same root.

  • The Dilemma of Anti-Catholicism in American Travel Writing, Circa 1790-1830
    The Dilemma of Anti-Catholicism in American Travel Writing, circa 1790-1830 Daniel Kilbride John Carroll University The decades between 1790 and 1830 have rightly been seen as a lull between the anti- Catholic heights of the colonial and antebellum periods. The French alliance, the imperative of religious pluralism and civility under the Bill of Rights, and the small number of Catholics residing in the United States all conspired to reduce popular intolerance toward Catholics in the post-Revolutionary period – although it needs to be recognized that anti-Catholicism remained an respectable form of prejudice throughout this era. In this paper I want to show how American travelers in Europe contributed to the early national reassessment of Roman Catholicism. Travelers enjoyed enhanced credibility because of their first-hand experience in continental Europe. They reinforced some existing prejudices, such as the danger posed by the close relationship between the Church and European despotisms. In other ways they undermined prejudices and introduced new, more positive ways to assess Catholicism. They reaffirmed the historical connection between American culture and sacred art and architecture. They also reassessed traditional notions of Catholic ritual and piety, which Americans had traditionally derided as little better than superstition. Some travelers went beyond recognizing Catholic practice as a legitimate form of Christianity. In a sharp departure from convention, they articulated a kind of envy, arguing that Catholic ritual was in some ways superior, more genuine, than American Protestant practice. Finally, I want to show how these tentative, preliminary assessments informed American attitudes to Catholicism in the antebellum period. After 1830 anti-Catholicism did acquire a new breadth and intensity, and some travelers contributed to this trend.

  • Catholic Relics and Protestant Polemic in Post-Reformation England
    CHAPTER 17 The Pope’s Merchandise and the Jesuits’ Trumpery: Catholic Relics and Protestant Polemic in Post-Reformation England Alexandra Walsham In 1641, on the eve of the outbreak of the English Civil War, an etching entitled This Burden Backe to Rome was published in London by Wenceslas Hollar (Fig. 17.1). It depicts the bearded figure of Father Time with his trademark scythe and hour glass, carrying a triple-tiared Pope, St Peter’s sceptre, and crossed keys on his “aged backe”, together with a “Pedlars packe” and “trunke of trash & Romish Trumperies, Deluding showes and infernall forgeries”. The verses below tell us that he is transporting this “load of vaniti”, which includes a bishop’s mitre and clerical biretta, back to the sink of vice and iniquity that is the seat of Antichrist. Deploying a miscellaneous collection of physical objects as a visual symbol of the evils of popery, this broadside embodies the earnest Protestant hope that all tangible remnants of England’s popish past will be swept away as the prelude to the triumphant consummation of her prolonged and imperfect Reformation.1 The assumptions that underpin this striking image have proved extremely resilient. Following in the footsteps of early modern polemicists, modern scholars have paid relatively little attention to the material culture of Roman Catholicism in early modern England. They have tended to echo the prejudices of contemporaries in regarding relics, sacramentals, and vestments as subjects unworthy of serious academic enquiry. Until the mid-twentieth century, their study was largely a fringe activity carried out by devout writers in the recus- ant history tradition, whose endeavours only served to confirm their credulity in the eyes of their Protestant counterparts.2 Recently, however, historians of both the Middle Ages and the era of the Counter Reformation have begun to 1 Wenceslas Hollar [attrib.], This burden backe to Rome ([London, 1641]).

  • A.J.B. Johnston Popery and Progress: Anti-Catholicism in Mid-Nineteenth
    A.J.B. Johnston Popery and Progress: Anti-Catholicism in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Nova Scotia An editorial in a November 1859 issue of the Eastern Chronicle, a Pictou County weekly, asserted that the cause of Canada's perennial political difficulties was the "dominancy of the Roman Catholic priest­ hood" there. Describing the Catholic Church's tactics as "sublime" and its opposition to 'representation by population' as disgusting, the paper predicted that a strong "Protestant feeling" would develop in Canada West to counteract the "Jesuitical policy of the priesthood in the eastern province."1 To modern Canadians, all too familiar with the linguistic and cultural tensions that divide French and English Can­ ada, the Eastern Chronicle's analysis, with its emphasis on religious differences, may seem almost quaint. Yet it certainly did not appear that way to the paper's contemporary readers. Indeed, in the minds of a great many mid-nineteenth-century Nova Scotians, Roman Catholi­ cism was much more than a rival, erroneous religious faith. As militant Protestants never tired of repeating, it was also a system of beliefs promoting disloyalty and oppression and leading to moral, economic, and social backwardness. It should be no surprise that colonial Protestants held such views. Given the prevalence of anti-Catholic fears and worries throughout the Anglo-American world in the nineteenth century it would have been astonishing if many Nova Scotians had not shared the common prejudices. Yet the manifestations of anti-Catholicism that surfaced in the colony during the 1840s and 1850s were not just a mere echo of sentiments voiced loudly in Great Britain and the United States.

D. May, 2020 ii Abstract This paper analyzes how widespread anti-Catholic sentiment unified the colonies against the British Crown during the early stages of the American Revolution. Also, this paper explores how loyalists utilized fear of Catholicism in order to undermine the Revolution, showing that anti- Catholic fearmongering played a vital role to both causes. Overtime, historians have placed varying emphasis on certain reasons behind the American Revolution. Since the Progressive Era, there has been a shift from economic reasons, like class conflict and the Crown’s restrictive trade policies, to a more ideological stance, one that emphasizes philosophical influence and constitutional interpretations.

  • THOMAS HOBBES and CARDINAL BELLARMINE: LEVIATHAN and ‘THE GHOST of the ROMAN EMPIRE’ Patricia Springborg*
    THOMAS HOBBES AND CARDINAL BELLARMINE: LEVIATHAN AND ‘THE GHOST OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE’ Patricia Springborg* ‘The controversies betwixt Rome and the Reformation are long since beaten out of the pit, by other combatants of their own brood’, Hobbes’s Epistle to the Reader, prefacing Of Liberty and Necessity (EW, Vol. 4, p. 232). I Hobbes on Religion The degree to which early modern theory of the state was focused by papalist theory is still underestimated, despite the recent fine scholarship of Francis Oakley and Johann Sommerville.1 Thomist and Jesuit theories of imperium perplexed and provoked major political theorists from Filmer to Locke and a host of lesser known thinkers including Henry Foulis and Mary Astell. There were two reasons for this. The first and general reason is that scholastic theory had syncretized the political philosophy of the greats from Aristotle through Cicero to Augustine. There was not much in the way of antique sources that lay untouched by it, and even the Protestant reformers shared more than they cared to admit. If Platonism stood a little outside the tradition, this may have been the reason why Renaissance mirrorists turned to it, producing predictably absolut- Copyright (c) Imprint Academic 2016 For personal use only -- not for reproduction * I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, where I began this work, and John Pocock, my supervisor there; to the Folger Institute of the Folger Shakespeare Library and its staff, from whom I was the recipient of a grant-in- aid; and to the Woodrow Wilson Center, Washington, DC, to the John D.
