A political clash over church policy arises as critics warn against adopting Catholic style controls. The Daily News cites concerns about confessional practices and age limits for children, arguing public authority should not push views the nation has rejected and urging church officers to uphold duties without persecution.
The Rev Dr Littledale argues patronage in the Established Church is skewed. He estimates 20,000 clergy split 10,000 High Church, 5,000 Evangelical, 5,000 Broad or Colourless, with detailed 32 appointments showing High Church dominance. He then analyzes bishops and deans by party, listing positions held.
A study divides clergy into High Church Low Church colourless and Broad Church groups with counts of bishops deans and canons. It estimates totals 187 dignities and notes Low Church near proportional while Broad Church overrepresented and colourless underrepresented. An added analysis of archdeacons shows similar skew and admits inaccuracy due to obscurity.
The Pall Mall Gazette analyzes a new European religious conflict led not by faith but by political interests. It traces secularisation of church property since the Reformation, notes educated elites’ indifference to theological questions, and describes a modern Jesuit led campaign aligned with konservative powers across France Belgium Germany and Italy, with France Poland and other allies shaping a drawn out struggle.
