  • Irish Narratives: Liverpool in the 1930S
    Irish narratives: Liverpool in the 1930s John Davies By the 1930s there had been a substantial Irish community in Liverpool for over a hundred years. Irish immigration into Liverpool grew steadily from the 1 790s and expanded rapidly with the onset of famine in Ireland in the 1840s. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, years of economic depression, there was a renewed wave of Irish migration to Britain in general, and to Liverpool in particular, as migration into the United States was choked off. Relations between the Irish community, largely Catholic and poor and unskilled, and the majority community had been notoriously difficult in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when the history of the city was scarred by incidents of sectarian violence.1 The increase in migration in the 1930s was accompanied by growing tension between the majority and the Irish community. This article seeks to explore how the majority community in Liverpool viewed the Irish, how these views were articulated and what ‘stories’ were commonly told about the Irish. In recent years sociologists and cultural historians, referring to such ‘stories’ as ‘discourses’ and ‘narratives’, have seen them as ‘providing models of social experi­ ence’ as well as attempts to shape and control opinions.2 1 F.

Th e Catholic Church in Liverpool also responded to urban redevelopment with ambition and innovation. As architectural expert Charles Reilly announced to readers of the New York Times in 1930, ‘ Liverpool is starting to build a second and even greater cathedral. Her new project, indeed, calls for the greatest cathedral in the world next to St Peter ’ s at Rome. ’1 Designed by Edwin Lutyens, ‘ arguably the greatest British architect of the twentieth century, ’ the planned Catholic cathedral, named the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ, was intended to be second largest in the world and expected to cost £ 3 million.2 Th e impact of the cathedral on the city and beyond was highly anticipated: ‘ I see the cathedral then, like a rainbow across the skies radiating the true and the good ’ , wrote one prominent member of Liverpool Archdiocese.3 For the Archdiocese and, in particular for the cathedral ’ s pioneer, Archbishop of Liverpool Richard Downey (1881 – 1953), it represented an opportunity to transform the way in which Catholicism was seen both in Britain and beyond.

    The See of Peter. By James T. Shotwell, Ph. D., LL. D., and Louise Ropes Loomis, Ph. D. Pp. xxvi-737. New York: Columbia University Press. $10.00. Due to a misapprehension, the Church is often accused by her opponents of basing her thoroughly logical structure of dogma and doctrine upon an argument which is a flagrant petitio principii. When asked for her credentials, they say, the Church points to the Scriptures, but when asked for a guarantee of their authority she adduces her own. If this were true the Church's theology would be as unsound as the Hindu cosmogony with its Elephant and Tortoise. A simple distinction, however, shows the unfoundedness of the charge. The authority of the Church is based upon the Scriptures, not precisely as the inspired Word of God, but as the historical record of a God become Incarnate and leaving behind Him a Church endowed with His authority. Hence the importance of the text, "Thou art Peter," and the cognate passages of the New Testament. Yet it is possible that we, in this latter time, are wrong in our interpretation of them and it becomes necessary to find out what was the Christian interpretation of them from the beginning. Are the Fathers in agreement, at least rudimentarily, with us in our attitude to­ wards the Holy See? What, precisely, was their relation, what their teaching? To answer this is the task set themselves by the authors of the present work. It should be noted, at the outset, that their attitude is that of the historian interested only in sources and their historical and critical value.

    Dominicans In Early Florida. By the Very Rev. V. F. O'Daniel, O.P., S.T.M., Litt.D. Pp. xiii-230. New York. United States Catholic His­ torical Society. $2.50. This latest work from the pen of Father O'Daniel is one that maintains in all respects the high standard of its predecessors, and though not as great in size as most of his earlier works it is in no way their inferior considered either as a contribution to history, or as a tale of engrossing interest. In order to appreciate adequately the patient labor and meticulous care required to produce this volume, one should consider the almost absolute dearth of material with which the author was confronted. There were no previous works treating ex professo of precisely this phase of Catholic History. In English it was to all intents and purposes a closed book and a sealed mine. The information obtainable had often to be gleaned from channels pol­ luted at their source by hostility either to the Church in general or our Order in particular. Practically the entire history of Spanish Florida available to English-speaking readers is garbled and falsified by writers with such a prejudice. Even many of the Spanish writers were inimical to our brethren because of their defence of the rights of the Indian. It was necessary for our historiographer to study, analyze and weigh all the mixed dross and gold, and, having separated the one from the other in accordance with the best canons of historical criticism, to set forth the true and refute the false.
