EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Illustration from an Anti-Catholic pamphlet showing a priest kissing the robes of the Pope" takes us back to 19th century America, where religious tensions ran high. The lithograph, created by an anonymous American artist, is now housed in the prestigious American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts. The image depicts a cardinal engaging in a symbolic act of loyalty and allegiance as he kisses the robes of the Pope. This ritualistic gesture is set against a backdrop featuring a solomonic column, symbolizing power and authority. The scene evokes both curiosity and unease as it highlights the deep-seated intolerance prevalent during that time. In North America during this period, nativist sentiments were on the rise among certain factions who viewed Catholicism with suspicion. This anti-Catholic movement fueled paranoia and discrimination towards Catholics living in America. The engraving serves as a reminder of these dark chapters in American history when religious differences divided communities. Through its intricate details and symbolism, this print offers us insight into an era marked by tension between different religious beliefs. It prompts reflection on how far we have come since then while reminding us to remain vigilant against any form of prejudice or discrimination based on religion or nationality.
