Sinopsis

Should Britain maintain diplomatic ties with the papacy? This provocative work examines religion, politics, and power in a historic context, inviting readers to weigh church and state in shaping national policy.


Grounded in a historical voice, the book analyzes how Catholic life in Ireland and its relationship with England have influenced education, governance, and national identity. It explores how religious beliefs have shaped public life, and how rulers and rights intersect with faith in shaping a country’s future.



  • A clear examination of the role of Catholic education and its champions.

  • Discussion of governance, power, and the moral responsibilities of rulers.

  • Context for readers interested in church-state relations and historical perspectives on politics.

  • Ideas on how faith and national policy interact during times of change and conflict.


Ideal for readers of history, political thought, and religious studies seeking a careful, historically grounded perspective on church and state.

Excerpt from Great Britain and Rome: Or Ought the Queen of England to Hold Diplomatic Relations With the Sovereign Pontiff?

Limiting ourselves for the moment to its internal life, the British Empire numbers amongst its subjects no less than ten millions of Roman Catholics. They are to be found in masses in Ireland, Canada, Malta, and Gibral tar, as well as in the great centres of commerce and indus try throughout Great Britain. They permeate the organi sation of the Empire, taking part in most of the func tions of the State, from those of members of the Privy Council or of Viceroy of India, to those of the lowest official under the Crown; and in the social order the positions they occupy extend from that of the first duke Of the realm to that of the needy poor in the work house. Their well-being must necessarily be one factor in the well-being of the whole nation.

Excerpt from Great Britain and Rome: Or Ought the Queen of England to Hold Diplomatic Relations With the Sovereign Pontiff?

At the end of October last the 'Morning Post' announced in a short article that quasi-diplomatic relations were about to be re-established between England and Rome, and that Mr. Errington, M.P., had been deputed by the English Government to negotiate the matter with the Holy See. This statement was denied by a portion of the press, yet the Morning Post has not only adhered to it, but also from time to time, and apparently with authority, added other statements, which furnish the public mind with sufficient ground for believing the original report. Since then the political atmosphere has been overcharged with rumours of negotiations concerning efforts which, it is said, are being made to secure the independence of the Pope. It is, therefore, not inopportune to ask the question, Ought the Queen of England to hold diplomatic relations with the Sovereign Pontiff? Those of the political school which opposed Catholic Emancipation, and which has opposed every subsequent measure brought forward with the view of extending to Roman Catholics the rights they have justly claimed; which has resisted, inch by inch, every concession of religious liberty to Roman Catholics; will consider the question hardly worthy of a response, and will instinctively say, Hold no communication with Rome - Roma delenda est.
