'Anyone interested in anti-Catholicism will find this a useful compendium of militant Protestant views of the Catholic faith.' - Journal of Contemporary Religion



'John D. Brewer's excellent study on the sociological implications of four centuries of anti-Catholicism in Ireland...In the nervous climate of Northern Ireland's new start in 1999, such research is refreshing.' - Paddy Ashdown, The Independent

'The shock of the book that Brewer and Higgins have written is that it names its target so clearly...the range of people challenged by this book is very wide indeed.' - Malachi O'Doherty, Belfast Telegraph
