对反天主教的平衡理解需要对其多样性和多面性的欣赏。本文借鉴了作者对英语世界反天主教的广泛研究,提出了四个方面的分类:宪法-国家,神学,大众和社会文化。每个类别都有历史上的例子来说明,这些例子主要来自19世纪的英国和美国,但也跨越了更广泛的时间和空间。它们是流动的和相互联系的,但仍然为分析提供了有用的基础。它显示了对反天主教多样性的认识如何增强对其广泛影响的理解,以及对其波动、持续和衰落的长期模式的理解。特别是,自19世纪后期以来,神学上的反天主教已经变得边缘化,大众的反天主教已经高度本地化,而宪法-国家和社会-文化上的反天主教的相对弹性可以通过它们从主要的新教到主要的世俗意识形态基础的突变来解释。
A balanced understanding of anti‐Catholicism requires an appreciation of its diverse and multifaceted nature. This article draws on the author's extensive research on anti‐Catholicism in the English‐speaking world to propose a four‐fold categorisation: constitutional‐national, theological, popular and socio‐cultural. Each category is illustrated by historical examples drawn primarily from nineteenth‐century Britain and the United States, but also ranging more widely across time and space. They are fluid and interlinked but nevertheless provide a useful basis for analysis. It is shown how an awareness of the diversity of anti‐Catholicism enhances understanding of its widespread influence, and also of its long‐term patterns of fluctuation, persistence, and decline. In particular, whereas since the later nineteenth century theological anti‐Catholicism has become marginal and popular anti‐Catholicism highly localised, the relative resilience of constitutional‐national and social‐cultural anti‐Catholicism is explained by their mutation from a primarily Protestant to a primarily secular ideological foundation.
