Summary: | Anti-Catholicism in mid-Victorian Britain has had numerous historians, but none have posited a theory of religious prejudice to help explain it. This article argues that anti-Catholicism in mid-Victorian Britain can be interpreted as an example of prejudice rather than as a problem of differences over competing theologies on true religion. It suggests ways in which behavioral theory can help explain the nature of religious prejudice in an interdisciplinary framework, and posits a theory of religious prejudice in society. The chronological limits are 1850-53, a time of critical importance in Catholic/Protestant relations in Britain. |
