Synopsis

Catholic Emancipation, Incompatible With The Safety Of The Established Religion, Laws And Protestant Succession, Of The British Empire: An Address by Richard Warner is a polemical pamphlet addressed to Protestants of the United Kingdom. Published in London and issued in 1829, the work argues against granting civil and political rights to Roman Catholics, claiming that emancipation would undermine the Protestant establishment and jeopardize the constitutional balance of church and state. It contends that grounds for toleration—natural justice, political rights, and expediency—are insufficient to justify extending power to Catholics, and that such concessions would create partiality within the state and threaten the safety of the Protestant succession. The author advocates a peaceful, legal route for Protestants to express dissent, notably through popular petitions, and critiques the potential consequences for Ireland and national security. The volume includes an Appendix containing the Coronation Oath and the Duke of York’s speech on the Catholic question, underscoring fears about Papal influence and Catholic political power.
