Carlyle and Catholicism

Edward McBride, Fordham University

Abstract

It is evident to any serious reader of Carlyle that the title, "Carlyle and Catholicism has a meaning and significance intimately associated with his writings. Most of his books contain either a direct or an indirect reference to the Catholic Church. In most instances, Carlyle revealed himself as a bitter opponent and an unjust and destructive critic of Catholicism and her practices; although at times -- particularly when referring to the mediaeval Church -- his writings ring with praise.
