Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catholic History of Liverpool No city or town in Great Britain, and few in Ireland, contains so many Catholics within its boundaries as the city of Liverpool. This is due to its close proximity to Ireland. Indeed, it may be said with truth that Liverpool would not have risen into prominence at such an early date had not successive English monarchs from Henry the Second to William the Third recognised the great convenience afforded by the Mersey for the conquest of Ireland. In turn the Anglo-Irish difficulty and its consequences filled Liverpool with an enormous Irish population, which carried into an essentially Protestant community the ancient faith, and renewed in some forty churches the ritual and devotions which for many centuries were practised and observed in the pre-Reformation churches of Walton, St. Marys del Key, am St. Nicholas. An Anglican weekly, commenting on the pageant festivities of 1907, observed that the Church of England did not figure as prominently as was desirable in the processions and tableaux; that there was too much prominence assigned to events and incidents connected with the Roman Catholic Church in and around Liverpool. The complaint was well founded, though, had it been otherwise, the pageant would have been shorn of much of its beauty, and, what is more important, would have been an untruthful representation of the past history of the town.
