Description

The founding of the Catholic missions in Australia coincided with the defining drift of power and prestige within the nineteenth-century Church. This study shows how, in the age of ultramontanism, nineteenth-century Australian Catholicism was shaped by successive Roman interventions in local conflicts, sometimes ill-informed and harsh.
