Although the varying attitudes toward the English crown and the order of English society were central to the differences between the loyalists and the militants, disagreements involved many questions other than political ones, including the role of the Jesuits in the English mission and the nature of church government. This first work to concentrate on the Elizabethan Catholic church relates party thought to the quarrels with the Catholic community during Elizabeth's reign. Originally published in 1979.
