The Object And Effect Of The Oath In The Roman Catholic Relief Bill Considered (1838)

By Robert John Wilmot Horton

Book Overview

""The Object and Effect of the Oath in the Roman Catholic Relief Bill Considered"" is a book written by Robert Wilmot Horton in 1838. The book examines the controversial issue of Catholic emancipation in Britain, which was a hotly debated topic during the 19th century. Specifically, the book focuses on the role of the oath in the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, which was passed in 1829 and granted Catholics the right to sit in Parliament and hold public office. Horton argues that the oath was a crucial component of the bill, as it ensured that Catholics would remain loyal to the British Crown and not to the Pope. He also contends that the oath was necessary to assuage the fears of Protestant opponents of Catholic emancipation, who believed that Catholics would use their newfound political power to undermine the Protestant establishment. Throughout the book, Horton draws on historical and legal sources to support his arguments, and he engages with the arguments of both supporters and opponents of Catholic emancipation. He also explores the broader political and social context of the time, including the role of religion in British society and the tensions between Catholics and Protestants. Overall, ""The Object and Effect of the Oath in the Roman Catholic Relief Bill Considered"" provides a detailed and nuanced analysis of a key moment in British history, and sheds light on the complex issues surrounding religious freedom, political power, and national identity.With Observations Upon The Doctrines Of Certain Irish Authorities With Respect To Tithes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
