Reconnoitring a Plan to Attack the Irish Church Establishment
A pamphlet style argument weighs where to begin a campaign against state church power. It favors attacking the Irish Church first, then considers colonial fronts in Canada, the West Indies, the Cape, New Zealand, and Australia as supports. The piece urges unity among radicals and anti establishment groups to topple ecclesiastical privileged funding. It warns the Irish Church is entrenched but vulnerable to a drawn siege rather than a coup. It cites public opinion, O'Connellism's decline, and Cork Examiner remarks to bolster a long war strategy. It concludes with a call for coordinated action across Britain and colonies, timed to current opportunities.
