在新教荷兰共和国，天主教牧师被认为是最致命的“敌人”之一，因为他们的忏悔教义和政治倾向。在改革宗教会的压力下，许多反天主教的法令被发布，要求起诉牧师，就像一群“蝗虫”一样涌入乌得勒支，这是荷兰北部改革宗和天主教会的大本营。理论上，政治当局的政策禁止牧师向居住在该市的天主教徒履行牧职职责。然而，在实践中，乌得勒支地方法院公开承认和非公开纵容牧师的存在。支持/迫害和容忍的政治做法有助于管理和规范不稳定的忏悔共存环境。在反抗迫害和寻求宽容的过程中，天主教牧师根据他们和/或他们的家人与乌得勒支公民社区的密切关系和对乌得勒支公民社区的贡献，策略性和言辞地动员他们的公民地位。
In the Protestant Dutch Republic, Catholic priests were represented as one of the deadliest “enemies” in view of both their confessional doctrines and political inclination. Under pressure from the Reformed Church, numerous anti-Catholic edicts were issued for the prosecution of priests streaming like a swarm of “locusts” to the Utrecht city, the stronghold for Reformed and Catholic Churches alike in the Northern Netherlands. In theory, the policy of the political authorities barred priests from their pastoral duties to Catholics living in the city. In practice, however, the Utrecht magistracy publicly recognised, and non-publicly connived at, the presence of priests. Political practices of pro/persecution and toleration served to manage and regulate the precarious environment of confessional coexistence. In defying persecution and seeking toleration, Catholic priests tactically and discursively mobilised their civic status based on their and/or their families’ close relationship with, and contribution to, the civic community of Utrecht.
