“You will solemnly bind yourself to a foreign creed” (243).
This novel is helping me understand just how radical a Catholic conversation was in Newman’s time. As the sentence above says, Catholicism was anti-English. 👀

Now I am wondering if the convoluted arguments of the Anglicans until this point were intentional. When Willis comes back on the scene, he brings so much clarity. I liked these two chapters the best in the book so far.

Yes! And it wasn't until George V that the King included Catholics as full subjects in the Oath of Accession, just little over 100 years ago! Context for why John F Kennedy Jr was under suspicion as the first Catholic president even mid 20th century.

Wow! That is wild! So interesting about JFK too. I hadn’t thought to connect it that far forward in history but it makes so much sense!
