Book excerpt: In the eighteenth century, the Catholics of England lacked many basic freedoms under the law: they could not serve in political office, buy or inherit land, or be married by the rites of their own religion. So virulent was the sentiment against Catholics that, in 1780, violent riots erupted in London—incited by the anti-Papist Lord George Gordon—in response to the Act for Relief that had been passed to loosen some of these restrictions. The Gordon Riots marked a crucial turning point in the fight for Catholic emancipation. Over the next fifty years, factions battled to reform the laws of the land. Kings George III and George IV refused to address the “Catholic Question,” even when pressed by their prime ministers. But in 1829, through the dogged work of charismatic Irish lawyer Daniel O’Connell and the support of the great Duke of Wellington, the watershed Roman Catholic Relief Act finally passed, opening the door to the radical transformation of the Victorian age. Gripping, spirited, and incisive, The King and the Catholics is character-driven narrative history at its best, reflecting the dire consequences of state-sanctioned oppression—and showing how sustained political action can triumph over injustice.

Download or read book Catholic Emancipation written by Wendy Hinde and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1992 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roman Catholicism remained a threat to the English constitution for three centuries following the Reformation, and virulent hatred of popery was widespread among Parliament and public alike. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, with Europe in revolutionary turmoil, Britain's stability and safety were seen to depend on defending the Protestant constitution, and to many this meant continuing to exclude Catholics from political and public life--disabilities bitterly resented especially among the predominantly Catholic Irish. In this book, Wendy Hinde examines the interaction of events and personalities in the sixteen months from January 1828 to April 1829 which brought the issue to a crisis, culminating in the defiant election of Catholic activist Daniel O'Connell for County Clare in July 1828 and 'a glorious and bloodless victory' for the Irish Catholics and their unlikely champion, the Duke of Wellington. Wellington stood firm against strong public opposition, fierce resistance in the Commons and the Lords, and the intransigence of King George IV, who believed that he was bound by his coronation oath to maintain the rights and privileges of the Church of England. Finally, on 13 April 1829, after earlier sacking the entire Cabinet and changing his mind overnight, the embattled King put his signature to the Catholic relief bill, and five weeks later the first Irish MP took his seat in Parliament. In tracing this vexed passage of a bill described by one of its opponents as 'the most fatal, the most infatuated and suicidal measure ever adopted by a British Parliament', Wendy Hinde considers Catholic emancipation in relation to other important aspects of the contemporary political scene: pressure for parliamentary reform, the changing relationship between Lords and Commons, the declining power of the monarch and the rise of Irish nationalism. She shows that Catholic emancipation did not fatally undermine the English constitution, as many had feared; nor, as others had hoped, did it bring peace, prosperity and an end to sectarian discord to the Irish people. However, in demonstrating that constitutional change was possible and that public pressure could be brought to bear on the government without bloodshed, it opened the way for the further political, social and economic reforms of the 1830s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Catholic Emancipation, Vol. 1 of 2: And the Progress of the Catholic Church in the British Isles (Chiefly in England) From 1771 to 1820 Eleven years ago I accidentally discovered that the year 1874 was the centenary of the first Act of Parliament which relaxed the penal code against Catholics. It was an Act of the Irish Parliament, and therefore did not affect the English. But it was the beginning of a better order of things. It was the prelude to the Act of 1778, which passed unanimously at Westminster, and was the first Relief Act in favour of English Catholics. The circumstance of this Act of 1774 having been brought to my notice, suggested to me the idea of collecting, as far as my limited opportunities would permit, all the facts which should come under my notice connected with the progress of Emancipation and of the Catholic Church in England during the last hundred years. I had then no intention of publishing the result of my note-taking. I thought that I might perhaps collect matter which would be useful to some future historian. But I was strongly advised by a friend to take notes only with the view of working them into a history myself, as no one else, he said, would be likely to do so. I took the advice; and when, five years afterwards, the year 1879 brought us to the fiftieth year since the passing of the great act of 1829, a good opportunity was afforded of beginning the history.

This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Catholics in Ireland and England campaigning for relief from the penal laws, and later, for emancipation, were obliged to deal with the Holy See and the governments in Dublin and London. In return for concessions, the governments required them to provide 'securities' in the form of oaths that included allegiance to King George III and his successors and a rejection of the alleged 'claims' of the papacy which could be used to the detriment of the lawful authority of the British crown. The crown also sought the right to veto candidates for the episcopate whom it deemed unsuitable. These demands met with varying responses from the bishops of Ireland, the vicars apostolic of England, the Catholic laity in Ireland and England and the Holy See. Differences of opinion emerged between the conservative aristocrats and gentry in England, who were keen to take their seats in parliament, and the middle class activists in Ireland, who opposed the interference of the state in their religious affairs. This study examines these issues and the complex relationships between the Holy See, the bishops, the vicars apostolic and the Catholic committees."
