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.
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.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between Britain and the Vatican, arguing that diplomatic relations between the two entities would be mutually beneficial. The author, an expert on Catholicism, examines historical and theological arguments for why Catholics owe allegiance to the Pope and discusses the indirect influence the Pope exerts over civil power. The author asserts that recognizing the Pope's authority would honor Catholics in Britain and strengthen their loyalty to the Crown, and that such recognition would not infringe upon the Queen's civil supremacy. The book also examines the complex history of the Catholic Church in England and the ways in which the Church has contributed to the nation's development. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of mutual understanding and cooperation between the British government and the Vatican, arguing that such cooperation would benefit both parties and contribute to the greater good.
