Copyright
Ecclesiastical Titles Act (1851), forbidding Catholic clerics to assume ecclesiastical titles taken from any place in the United Kingdom. The act was introduced by the
Liberal government of Lord John Russell, in response to the re‐creation in 1850 of an English Catholic hierarchy. To Protestants, this was the ‘papal aggression’, a wholly unacceptable assertion by a foreign power of authority over British territory. Irish Catholics of all shades of opinion, however, regarded the act as a gratuitous insult, and the demand for its repeal provided the main impetus for the creation of the Independent Irish Party (see
independent opposition party).
