Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a timely examination of Popery's influence in Britain through the 17th century. The author observes the evolving motivations and tactics used by British Roman Catholics and their supporters to gain political and civil concessions. The book explores the ways in which Catholicism's resurgence is repositioned as an insidious threat to personal liberty and national security. The text provides contextual examples of Catholic-Protestant conflicts throughout British history to emphasize this. The author contends that while adaptations of scripture have been used by both sides, the Catholic Church and the Crown have variously manipulated the views of the people and twisted religious principles in order to increase their own authority and power. Laws designed to restrict Catholic power and influence are discussed alongside the means by which Catholics have navigated these restrictions. The author suggests that these legal limitations have created an environment where Catholics have grown more cunning and deceptive, not less influential. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of religious extremism and the history of Catholic and Protestant conflict in Britain, ultimately exposing the manipulative strategies used by religious and political leaders throughout history.
