Church split threatens Tory unity over Ecclesiastical Duties bill
In a fiery debate linked to Church power and state funding, editors scrutinize Tory divisions over ecclesiastical reform. They praise the Archbishop of Canterbury for backing church self remedy and condemn political parsons aiding the Establishment, while urging honest, self-reliant reform within the Church. The piece notes Wellington’s stand against party manipulation and highlights broader splits provoked by Canada and Irish municipal bills. The tone remains critical of Conservative infighting and supportive of substantial church reform.
