Extract

Recent biographies of Archbishops Mannix and Duhig have shown how those doughty warriors for the Catholic faith in Australia faced a rising tide of anti-Catholicism in the period 1916-23. Studies of Australian society and politics during and after the First World War have dwelt at length on the sectarian impulse. The conflict between Catholic and Protestant has even been cast by Professor Manning Clark as the central theme of Australian history.
