    The English Editor and the “Mormon Scare” of Peter J. Vousden n the Latter-day Saints in Great Britain found themselves, to an Iunprecedented degree, the focus of often intense public and o fficial attention. Extravagant allegations were made against the Church and the missionaries in the national press, and questions were asked on the floor of the House of Commons. Winston Churchill, the Home Secretary, con - ducted an o fficial inquiry into the activities of the Church. Although he concluded that the accusations were of no substance and that no action by the government was required, the matter did not end there; the popular press continued to publish fanciful accounts of Mormon elders kidnapping English girls. ₁ Much of the ferment in was stirred up by professional anti- Mor mon lecturers such as Hans Peter Freece, a disa ffected member of the Church from Utah who toured the British Isles warning large audiences that Mormon missionaries were stealing English girls and taking them to Utah for forced polygamous marriages. A man such as Freece, who could present himself as an authority, was the perfect ally for the small, unrepre - sentative band of clergy who wanted Britain rid of the Latter-day Saints; . The chief Church o fficer in Britain during the press campaign was Rudger Clawson, the president of the European Mission. A very good analysis of the press debate can be found in Davis S. Hoopes and Roy H. Hoopes, The Mak - ing of a Mormon Apostle: The Story of Rudger Clawson (Lanham, Md.: Madison Books, ), – . Malcolm R. Thorp also discusses the role of the British press during the same period in “‘The Mormon Peril’: The Crusade against the Saints in Britain, – ,” Journal of Mormon History ( ): – .

  • Roman Catholic Army Chaplains During the First World War : Roles, Experiences and Dilemmas
    Roman Catholic Army Chaplains During the First World War : Roles, Experiences and Dilemmas by Martin Purdy A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of MA (by Research) at the University of Central Lancashire January 2012 ABSTRACT This dissertation seeks to examine the role and actions of the Roman Catholic clergy from Britain who served as military chaplains during the First World War, including the external influences and pressures that may have contributed to their behaviour. In doing so it will look at international themes relating to the Catholic Church as a transnational body as well as the more national and parochial issues that were unique to the status of the faith in the different combatant nations included in the study. While Catholicism was very much a minority religion in the British Isles during the 1914-1919 war, it has been argued that the faith came out of the conflict with its reputation enhanced. This has often been put down to the actions of the Catholic chaplains at the 'sharp end', or most dangerous part, of the battlefield. This dissertation will re-examine a number of the themes that have been presented in previous academic works as having provided the evidence for such an assertion. While finding substantive evidence to support a number of the claims (including the advantages bestowed on the RC chaplains by the nature of the Catholic landscape in many of the key battlegrounds, as well as the importance of the delivery of the Sacraments), it will also argue that the more aggressive attitude and role of the 'home' clergy in France and Belgium was to have a significant influence on the British chaplains.

  • The Roman Catholic Church in Britain During the First World War: a Study in Political Leadership”
    The Roman Catholic Church in Britain during the First World War: A Study in Political Leadership by Youssef Taouk A thesis presented to the University of Western Sydney in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June, 2003 © Y. Taouk Statement of Authentication The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text. I hereby declare that I have not submitted this material, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution. Abstract Title: “The Roman Catholic Church in Britain during the First World War: A Study in Political Leadership”. The political influence of British Catholics in First World War Britain has been a neglected aspect of British history. Although some recent studies of Catholicism in Britain in the first half of the twentieth century have included some consideration of the 1914-1918 period, they have mostly concentrated on the wider issue of Catholics and politics in British society and have only touched on the First World War very briefly. This thesis aims to address this deficiency by focusing precisely on the political role played by leading Roman Catholics in Britain during the conflict. The thesis concentrates on leading Catholic clergy, laymen, and the British Catholic press. It demonstrates that the majority of leading Catholics were guided by an excessive nationalism which had two consequences. Firstly, British Catholics supported the war effort and the British government almost unquestioningly. Secondly, most leading Catholics failed to give their full support to the Pope and repudiated his efforts to facilitate a negotiated peace.

Unfortunately, however, the majority of speakers and writers who undertake to provide instruction for the public do not deem it necessary first to obtain it for themselves, but, allowing prejudice to take the place of knowledge, repeat old fables, or invent new ones, with such persistence and assurance as to induce readers to believe that what is so confidently asserted must needs be true. The aim of the present little volume is to furnish some means of learning what manner of men Jesuits actually are, under what obligations they bind themselves to their Order and its chief—obligations commonly spoken of as shocking and wicked —what kind of stories are told and believed concerning them, and on what kind of foundation such stories when investigated are found to rest.

Through a series of case studies, including an examination of the role of religious controversy in fin-de-siècle Parliamentary politics, it shows that religious belief and practice were more important in turn-of-the-century Britain than has been appreciated. The argument that the onset of secularization in Britain as defined by both a decline in religious attendance and personal belief can be pushed back until at least the 1920s or 1930s is not new. Yet, the insight that religious belief and practice remained a constituent part of late-Victorian and Edwardian national identity and public life has thus far failed to penetrate political, social, and cultural histories of the period.
