Krátky popis
The story of Catholicism in Britain from the Reformation to the
present day, from a master of popular history - 'a first-class
storyteller' The TimesThroughout the three hundred years that
followed the Act of Supremacy - which, by making Henry VIII head of
the Church, confirmed in law the breach with Rome - English
Catholics were prosecuted, persecuted and penalised for the public
expression of their faith. Even after the passing of the
emancipation acts Catholics were still the victims of
institutionalised discrimination. The first book to tell the story
of the Catholics in Britain in a single volume, The Catholics
includes much previously unpublished information. It focuses on the
lives, and sometimes deaths, of individual Catholics - martyrs and
apostates, priests and laymen, converts and recusants. It tells the
story of the men and women who faced the dangers and difficulties
of being what their enemies still call `Papists'. It describes the
laws which circumscribed their lives, the political tensions which
influenced their position within an essentially Anglican nation and
the changes in dogma and liturgy by which Rome increasingly
alienated their Protestant neighbours - and sometime even tested
the loyalty of faithful Catholics. The survival of Catholicism in
Britain is the triumph of more than simple faith. It is the victory
of moral and spiritual unbending certainty. Catholicism survives
because it does not compromise. It is a characteristic that excites
admiration in even a hardened atheist.
