After 1830 Catholicism in Britain and Ireland was practised and experienced within an increasingly secure Church that was able to build a national presence and public identity. With the passage of the Catholic Relief Act (Catholic Emancipation) in 1829 came civil rights for the United Kingdom's Catholics, which in turn gave Catholic organisations the opportunity to carve out a place in civil society within Britain and its empire. This Catholic revival saw both a strengthening of central authority structures in Rome, (creating a more unified transnational spiritual empire with the person of the Pope as its centre), and a reinvigoration at the local and popular level through intensified sacramental, devotional, and communal practices. After the 1840s, Catholics in Britain and Ireland not only had much in common as a consequence of the Church's global drive for renewal, but the development of a shared Catholic culture across the two islands was deepened by the large-scale migration from Ireland to many parts of Britain following the Great Famine of 1845. Yet at the same time as this push towards a degree of unity and uniformity occurred, there were forces which powerfully differentiated Catholicism on either side of the Irish Sea. Four very different religious configurations of religious majorities and minorities had evolved since the sixteenth-century Reformation in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Each had its own dynamic of faith and national identity and Catholicism had played a vital role in all of them, either as 'other' or, (in the case of Ireland), as the majority's 'self'. Identities of religion, nation, and empire, and the intersection between them, lie at the heart of this volume. They are unpacked in detail in thematic chapters which explore the shared Catholic identity that was built between 1830 and 1913 and the ways in which that identity was differentiated by social class, gender and, above all, nation. Taken together, these chapters show how Catholicism was integral to the history of the United Kingdom in this period.
Carmen M. Mangion teaches modern British history at Birkbeck University of London. Her research examines the cultural and social history of gender and religion in nineteenth and twentieth-century Britain relating to the formation and re-imagining of religious identities during times of social change. Her current research has two strands, the first examines the decline of the lay sister category of religious life. The second, interrogates the gendered nature of the Catholic medical missionary movement, 1891-1951, in both Britain and Ireland. Susan O'Brien is a Senior Member of St Edmund's College, University of Cambridge and a former Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Staffordshire University and former Principal of the Margaret Beaufort Institute of Theology in Cambridge. Her research has centred on transatlantic evangelical revivalism and nineteenth-century Catholicism in Britain, Ireland, and France. She is currently working on two projects: the edited correspondence of Frances Margaret Taylor (1832-1900) and an oral-based history of Catholic religious men and women in inner city ministry in England 1970-2000.
