Book A Foreign and Wicked Institution

Download or read book A Foreign and Wicked Institution written by Rene Kollar and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-03-22 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many in Victorian England harbored deep suspicion of convent life. In addition to looking at anti-Catholicism and the fear of both Anglican and Catholic sisterhoods that were established during the nineteenth century, this work explores the prejudice that existed against women in Victorian England who joined sisterhoods and worked in orphanages and in education and were committed to social work among the urban poor. Women, according to some of these critics, should remain passive in matters of religion. Nuns, however, did play an important role in many areas of life in nineteenth-century England and faced hostility from many who felt threatened and challenged by members of female religious orders. The accomplishments of the nineteenth-century nuns and the opposition they overcame should serve as both an example and encouragement to all men and women committed to the Gospel.

Book Nineteenth Century Anti Catholic Discourses

Download or read book Nineteenth Century Anti Catholic Discourses written by D. Peschier and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-06-21 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the middle of the nineteenth century much clearly gendered, anti-Catholic literature was produced for the Protestant middle classes. Nineteenth Century Anti-Catholic Discourses explores how this writing generated a series of popular Catholic images and looks towards the cultural, social and historical foundation of these representations. Diana Peschier places the novels of Charlotte Brontë within the framework of Victorian social ideologies, in particular the climate created by rise of anti-Catholicism and thus provides an alternative reading of her work.

This book was released on 1852 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reply to Bishop William Bernard Ullathorne's A Plea for the Rights and Liberties of Religious Women (1851). Ullathorne had written in defense of Catholic women in convents and monastic life, who were frequent targets of anti-Catholic prejudice. Writers like Drummond, a frequent critic of Roman Catholicism, often sought to portray convents as hotbeds of depravity, licentiousness, and even torture. Drummond also advocates for a bill that had been introduced in 1851 to mandate inspection of Roman Catholic convents. (This bill would eventurally fail.)
