Tales about treacherous Jesuits and scheming popes are an important
and pervasive part of European culture. They belong to a set of
ideas, images, and practices that, when grouped under the label
anti-Catholicism, represent a phenomenon that can be traced back to
the Reformation. Anti-Catholic movements and sentiments crossed
boundaries between European countries, contributing to the early
modern consolidation of national identities. In the nineteenth
century, secularist movements adopted and transformed confessional
criticism in a new internationalist dimension that was articulated
across the whole Western world. A variety of liberal, conservative,
secular, Protestant, and other forces gave shape to this
counter-image, taking on the function of a pattern from which one's
own ideals and beliefs could be chiselled out. The contributions to
this volume show how different national contexts affected the
proliferation of anti-Catholic messages over the course of four
centuries of European history, and demonstrate that
anti-Catholicism constituted a powerful European cross-cultural
phenomenon.
