Report From the Select Committee of the House of Lords on Ecclesiastical Titles

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the significant legal conflict regarding ecclesiastical titles in Britain and Ireland during the 19th century. After the Pope attempted to establish dioceses in England, assigning Archbishops and Bishops with corresponding titles, Great Britain responded with the Ecclesiastical Titles Act of 1851. This Act declared such titles illegal. However, the Act of 1851, and a related Act of 1829, were never actually enforced. The author examines the complexities of these Acts, their effects on charitable donations, concerns raised by the Catholic Church, and opinions from high-ranking Protestant laymen. They also explore the historical precedents for the Acts, tracing common law back to the 14th century. Ultimately, the book concludes that these Acts, while not directly impacting charitable donations, have caused dissatisfaction within the Catholic community. It argues for a solution that would acknowledge the Queen's authority while providing a suitable designation for Catholic prelates. The book sheds light on a fascinating chapter in British history, exploring legal battles, religious tensions, and the evolution of religious freedom.
