The Catholic Minority Experience in Scotland
This article argues that poverty reinforced by poor education, low industrial skills and fluctuating employment more than well-remembered bigotry hindered Catholic advance. Delayed marriage and families broken by death, often reflecting wide age differences between spouses or by desertion, reinforced deprivation. To uplift the tramping masses, influential clergy and laity promoted a conservative ideology of religious respectability and social cul…

The Child as Maker of the Ultramontane
The Revd Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J., after two months’ residence in Glasgow wrote that though repulsive to live in yet there are alleviations, the streets and buildings are fine and the people lively. The poor Irish among whom my duties lay are mostly from the North of Ireland.... They are found by all who have to deal with them very attractive; for though always very drunken and at present very Fenian, they are warm hearted. ... I found myself …
Patrick Macgill, 1890-1963
Some attribute their pauper condition to a wrong disposition; others lay their misfortunes to a cruel fate; but it is evident that the passion for drink is at the bottom of ninety per cent of the vagrancy of England’ wrote Josiah Flynt, the brother of the American temperance campaigner Emma Willard
The Irish Abroad
In May 1859, a beautifully printed card urging Revd Michael Condon to visit ‘La Plus Belle Dame de Greenock’ dropped through his letterbox. He had just arrived that day in his new parish of Cartsdyke. Given the prejudice encountered, the appalling living conditions, and the endless demands on him and his fellow clergy, their resistance to such charms seems remarkable. The Irish were allegedly ‘liars, blasphemous, ignorant, lying, thieving etc.’ A…
Broadfield Revisited
You do need to be very romantic to accept the industrial civilization’, wrote G. K. Chesterton. ‘It does really require all the old Gaelic glamour to make men think Glasgow is a grand place. Yet the miracle is achieved, and while I was in Glasgow I shared the illusion.’ The industrial dream suited the Scots. Here was a really romantic vista suited to a romantic people. On a visit in 1919, Eric Gill was far more pointed: ‘Love God and do what you …
The Welfare State within the State
At a great protest meeting in Glasgow against Ultramontanism in 1874, the Jesuits, those wily chameleons, were acccused of masquerading as members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. That body was ostensibly to benefit the poor but it is in fact a religio-political organisation. It has local, central and general councils; quarterly meetings, conferences, fetes, pilgrimages; it has passports and circular letters to its members. It adapts itself to…
Changing Images of Roman Catholic Religious Orders in the Nineteenth Century
‘“Camelot-Camelot:” said I to myself “I don’t seem to remember hearing of it before. Name of the asylum, likely.”’ so said Mark Twain’s Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur’s Court. But the irony is that the joke is now on Twain. In examining The Discovery of the Asylum , David J. Rothman has persuasively argued that the American asylum which developed in the 1820s and 1830s served a dual purpose. It would create the correct desirable attitudes with…

Social Catholicism and Health
In 1886, Judge Wallis, summing up in the ‘Pimlico Case’, castigated the writings of a witness, the Catholic doctor, Thomas Low Nichols, as shocking and as tending to ‘unsex’ women. For Nichols’ Esoteric Anthropology had been found in the home of Mrs. Adelaide Bartlett, a French Catholic, accused of murdering her husband with the assistance of the Reverend George Dyson, a Wesleyan minister of Putney. Even though he had written in the preface that …
The Scottish religious identity in the Atlantic world 1880–1914
In the generation before the first world war, Scottish national identity was found not in the church, established or free, but in the town hall; in an ethical Christian community faith rather than ‘churchianity’. For Scotland was a working model of the civic church of W. T. Stead. In particular in Glasgow, that faith of the ‘new’ professional layman proved itself flexible, responsive to urban social problems and readily exportable. Civic patrioti…
