Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a revealing historical account of the response to perceived ritualist practice in the Victorian Anglican Church. The author discusses the anti-Catholic bigotry of the mid-19th century and how, despite his earlier role as a Catholic emancipator, Prime Minister Lord John Russell stirred up anti-Catholic sentiment to further his political career. The book also highlights how this anti-Catholic and anti-ritualist agenda caused fear and distress within the working-class parish of St Barnabas, London, and its clergy. The author argues that the panic over ritualism in the Victorian era was borne out of ignorance, bigotry and political expediency. The book uncovers the resilience of the clergy and parishioners in the face of such hostility whilst illuminating the extent to which anti-Catholic sentiment could be whipped up during the Victorian period for political gain.
