  • Entanglements Between Irish Catholics and the Fishermen's
    Rogues Among Rebels: Entanglements between Irish Catholics and the Fishermen’s Protective Union of Newfoundland by Liam Michael O’Flaherty M.A. (Political Science), University of British Columbia, 2008 B.A. (Honours), Memorial University of Newfoundland, 2006 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Liam Michael O’Flaherty, 2017 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2017 Approval Name: Liam Michael O’Flaherty Degree: Master of Arts Title: Rogues Among Rebels: Entanglements between Irish Catholics and the Fishermen’s Protective Union of Newfoundland Examining Committee: Chair: Elise Chenier Professor Willeen Keough Senior Supervisor Professor Mark Leier Supervisor Professor Lynne Marks External Examiner Associate Professor Department of History University of Victoria Date Defended/Approved: August 24, 2017 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract This thesis explores the relationship between Newfoundland’s Irish Catholics and the largely English-Protestant backed Fishermen’s Protective Union (FPU) in the early twentieth century. The rise of the FPU ushered in a new era of class politics. But fishermen were divided in their support for the union; Irish-Catholic fishermen have long been seen as at the periphery—or entirely outside—of the FPU’s fold. Appeals to ethno- religious unity among Irish Catholics contributed to their ambivalence about or opposition to the union. Yet, many Irish Catholics chose to support the FPU. In fact, the historical record shows Irish Catholics demonstrating a range of attitudes towards the union: some joined and remained, some joined and then left, and others rejected the union altogether.

Irish responses to Fascist Italy, 1919–1932 by Mark Phelan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Prof. Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh Department of History School of Humanities National University of Ireland, Galway December 2012 ABSTRACT This project assesses the impact of the first fascist power, its ethos and propaganda, on key constituencies of opinion in the Irish Free State. Accordingly, it explores the attitudes, views and concerns expressed by members of religious organisations; prominent journalists and academics; government officials/supporters and other members of the political class in Ireland, including republican and labour activists. By contextualising the Irish response to Fascist Italy within the wider patterns of cultural, political and ecclesiastical life in the Free State, the project provides original insights into the configuration of ideology and social forces in post-independence Ireland. Structurally, the thesis begins with a two-chapter account of conflicting confessional responses to Italian Fascism, followed by an analysis of diplomatic intercourse between Ireland and Italy. Next, the thesis examines some controversial policies pursued by Cumann na nGaedheal, and assesses their links to similar Fascist initiatives. The penultimate chapter focuses upon the remarkably ambiguous attitude to Mussolini’s Italy demonstrated by early Fianna Fáil, whilst the final section recounts the intensely hostile response of the Irish labour movement, both to the Italian regime, and indeed to Mussolini’s Irish apologists.

  • Catholicism, Anticlericalism and the Quest for Women's Sufferag
    CATHOLICISM, ANTICLERICALISM, AND THE QUEST FOR WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE IN CHILE Erika Maza Valenzuela Working Paper #214 - December 1995 Erika Maza Valenzuela, Academic Coordinator of the Kellogg Institute, is completing her dissertation on “Women's Suffrage and Party Politics in Chile, 1874–1953,” at Saint Antony's College, Oxford University. The author is very grateful to her thesis supervisor Alan Angell for his advice and many incisive comments on previous drafts of this paper. She also wishes to express her gratitude to Samuel Valenzuela for sharing his knowledge of Chilean history and for his encouragement and belief in the significance of this research. Her gratitude extends as well to many professors, colleagues, and friends at the Latin American Centre of Saint Antony's College, at the Kellogg Institute, and in Chile, especially Alan Knight, Juan Maiguashca, Eduardo Posada, Carlos Malamud, Iván Jaksic, Caroline Domingo, Robert Pelton, CSC, Robert Fishman, Sol Serrano, and Carolina Fernández. 2 ABSTRACT Catholic countries typically enfranchised women later than Protestant ones, and analysts have long argued that this delay was due to the influence of Catholic political and Church leaders as well as to the effects of a Catholic culture. By examining the history of the extension of suffrage to women and women's political participation in Chile since the mid-nineteenth century, this paper challenges that widely held notion. It shows that Catholic and Conservative leaders were the earliest voices in favor of extending suffrage to women. It also shows that Catholic women were involved in political and social affairs from an early date in the country's history as an independent nation, and that they developed feminist views.

  • Christian Democracy in Europe a Comparative Perspective
    CHRISTIAN DEMOCRACY IN EUROPE A COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE Edited by David Hanley W Pinter Publishers London & New York Distributed exclusively in the USA & Canada by St Martin's Press 3 BETWEEN CONFESSIONALISM AND LIBERAL CONSERVATISM: THE CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATIC PARTIES OF BELGIUM AND THE NETHERLANDS Paul Lucardie and Hans-Martien ten Napel Though the kingdoms of Belgium and The Netherlands share a common history of only fifteen years (1815-30), they are nevertheless comparable in many respects. A skilful historian could certainly write a comparative history ofboth countries (Kossmann, 1978) . Yet one should not exaggerate the similarities. Even though the Reformation reached the southern parts of the Low Countries (now in Belgium) earlier than the northern parts, it had a much greater impact in the latter area. The Dutch republic in the north gained independence from the Habsburg Empire about 200 years earlier than the southern provinces. The Industrial Revolution affected Belgium earlier than The Netherlands, which remained more dependent on agriculture as well as on trade and commerce. Dutch is spoken in both countries, but almost half of Belgium speaks another official language (41 per cent French, 1 per cent German), whereas only 3 per cent of its northern neighbour speaks another language (Frisian). These differences have had an impact on the party systems of the two countries. Even so, their parties can be compared, especially the Christian Democratic parties which have developed closer ties in recent years. According to Horner (1981), the Christian Democratic parties of the Low Countries are still confessional parties (Konjessionsparteien) , whereas their sister parties in Germany and Italy are evolving towards liberal­ conservative catch-all parties (Volksparteien).

  • The Orange Order in Scotland Between the Wars
    GRAHAM WALKER THE ORANGE ORDER IN SCOTLAND BETWEEN THE WARS SUMMARY: This paper focuses on the theme of religious conflict within the working class in inter-war Scotland. It pays particular attention to the Protestant working class of the industrial lowlands and to the role of the exclusively Protestant secret society of Irish origin, the Orange Order. It attempts to explain why the inter-war period saw an upsurge in membership of sectarian organisations like the Orange Order and their activities; and at the same time was notable for a broadening of Labour Party support among the working class which transcended religious divi- sions. It argues that sectarian and class loyalties often went together and in some ways reinforced each other. The Orange Order leadership's Conservative politics is stressed but it is contended that the Order's appeal to the working class was to a large extent based on issues such as education and mixed marriages and perceived Irish Catholic immigration, issues which did not break down neatly into party political terms. It is argued that the Orange Order's social role was of great significance in this period of economic austerity and mass unemployment. Introduction The Orange Order came into existence in County Armagh in Ireland in 1795, the product of conflict between Protestants and Catholics over land and employment. It was, initially, a society controlled by the Church of Ireland landed gentry and a Loyalist force pledged to defend Crown and Constitution against rebellious elements in Ireland. It is believed to have played a prominent part in putting down the United Irishmen rebellion of 1798.' During the nineteenth century the Order, while remaining an oath- bound, masonic-style secret society and exclusively Protestant, became less identified with the Established Church and the landowners, and more of a pan-denominational body which included many Presbyterians, notwith- standing the participation of large numbers of the latter in the 1798 rebel- lion in Ulster.

Jewish and Irish leaders created networks of communal institutions, including religious organizations, philanthropic institutions, cultural societies, and political clubs, to aid group adjustment.

  • Irish Catholic Voluntary Associations in the Canadian Liberal Order, 1840-1882
    Irish Catholic Voluntary Associations in the Canadian Liberal Order, 1840-1882 by Mike McLaughlin A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2016 Mike McLaughlin Abstract This study will explore the ways in which Irish Catholic voluntary associations engaged with the Canadian liberal order in the nineteenth century by focusing especially on three specific associations that were formed at particular times to confront particular social problems: temperance societies, the Catholic League, and Home Rule branches. Some organizations opposed liberalism and the liberal state, while others disseminated liberal values. Some, like temperance societies, did both. Informed by Ian McKay's Liberal Order Framework, I have framed the Canadian context within which Irish Catholic voluntary associations functioned in a liberalizing society with a strong attachment to Protestant British identity. In studies focusing on state formation, democracy, and liberalism, scholars such as Alan Greer and Ian Radforth, Jeffrey McNairn, and Darren Ferry have positioned mainstream voluntary associations as having had a central role in the development of liberalism and the formation of the Canadian state. This study sets out to examine the extent to which Irish Catholic voluntary associations had a similar function. Research suggests that in some cases Irish voluntary associations resisted the liberal Canadian state through their advancement of Catholic values that challenged state encroachment into the lives of parishioners, demonstrations of a robust collective identity that, though couched in liberal terms, emphasized ethno-religious difference, and objections to illiberal techniques of governing by British authorities such as the land tenure system in Ireland and the suspension of legal due process both there and in Canada.

  • A Catholic New Deal: Religion and Labor in 1930S Pittsburgh
    A Catholic New Deal: Religion and Labor in 1930s Pittsburgh ESLIE TENTLER, A STUDENT OF AMERICAN religious and labor history, observes that many scholars tend to misjudge the role LCatholicism played in the 1930s union movement. Lizabeth Cohen, Gary Gerstle, and Douglas Seaton, among others, criticize the anti- Communist Catholic priests who supported the 1930s union movement. According to such labor historians, Catholic priests undermined the political power of American workers by purging their ranks of well- intentioned Communists. Cohen contends that Chicago workers could not have formed successful industrial unions without first severing their ties to their religious and ethnic communities. To Cohen, and to Gerstle as well, workers' religious and cultural associations interfered with the development of class consciousness and, therefore, of labor organization.1 Other scholars depict Catholic clergy and laity as foes of reform and as catalysts of America's anti-Communist foreign policy after World War II. Michael Heale argues that American Catholic anti-Communism in the 1930s "intertwined" with anti-Semitism. He also asserts that anti- Communist political activism was the way by which Catholics proved "their American identity." In the same vein, Stephen Whitfield concludes that anti-Communism secured Catholics' place in American society: "A The author thanks Denise Conklin, Kevin Dunphy, Harvey Klehr, Father Edward McSweeney, Curtis Miner, and the editor and anonymous reviewers of this article for their great assistance 1 Gary Gerstle,

  • The Orange Order in Scotland Between the Wars
    GRAHAM WALKER THE ORANGE ORDER IN SCOTLAND BETWEEN THE WARS SUMMARY: This paper focuses on the theme of religious conflict within the working class in inter-war Scotland. It pays particular attention to the Protestant working class of the industrial lowlands and to the role of the exclusively Protestant secret society of Irish origin, the Orange Order. It attempts to explain why the inter-war period saw an upsurge in membership of sectarian organisations like the Orange Order and their activities; and at the same time was notable for a broadening of Labour Party support among the working class which transcended religious divi- sions. It argues that sectarian and class loyalties often went together and in some ways reinforced each other. The Orange Order leadership's Conservative politics is stressed but it is contended that the Order's appeal to the working class was to a large extent based on issues such as education and mixed marriages and perceived Irish Catholic immigration, issues which did not break down neatly into party political terms. It is argued that the Orange Order's social role was of great significance in this period of economic austerity and mass unemployment. Introduction The Orange Order came into existence in County Armagh in Ireland in 1795, the product of conflict between Protestants and Catholics over land and employment. It was, initially, a society controlled by the Church of Ireland landed gentry and a Loyalist force pledged to defend Crown and Constitution against rebellious elements in Ireland. It is believed to have played a prominent part in putting down the United Irishmen rebellion of 1798.' During the nineteenth century the Order, while remaining an oath- bound, masonic-style secret society and exclusively Protestant, became less identified with the Established Church and the landowners, and more of a pan-denominational body which included many Presbyterians, notwith- standing the participation of large numbers of the latter in the 1798 rebel- lion in Ulster.
