Talk:Anti-Catholicism in the United Kingdom

This article needs expansion. The Anti-Catholic activities of Christopher Hitchens in particular should probably be included. Jeannedeba (talk) 22:06, 11 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

The article is far too kind as regards anti-Catholicism in present day Britain. True, sectarian based anti-Catholicism has largely died out, but take a read of the comments following any story of any kind regarding the Catholic Church in the columns of The Guardian and it should be apparant the loathing and downright visceral hatred of Catholics which runs though most modern Liberals like a stick of rock. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.228.206.139 (talk) 23:29, 15 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Surely, given Catholics like St Alban were martyred during Roman times, anti Catholicism started much earlier than the 1500s? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.11.224.48 (talk) 12:11, 23 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

I would contend that St Alban predated both the Protestant Reformation of the 1500's and the Great Schism of 1054, and so predates the Catholic church. The martyrdom of St ALban I would contend is certainly a manifestation of anti-Christian sentiment in the British Isles, but I would not describe it as anti-Catholic 51.148.161.245 (talk) 00:08, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Got to concur here. Prior to the creation of the Protestant branch of Christianity, opposition to the Christian church in the UK has to be viewed separately from anti-Catholicism

Maybe (if there isn't one already) there should be something looking more broadly about anti-Christianty -at least in a historical context. In a modern context there's "militant" atheism, fear stirred by the tabloid press "Muslims are coming for us". There's also question of "why is the king the head of the Church of England?" Which for me fits into the broader question "why is there a king?" SteveLoughran (talk) 10:17, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
