Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
Religious rivalry has profoundly influenced major aspects of our history — protestantism and popery, conscription, temperance, state aid, the Labor split. The sectarian strand is apparent in pub ownership, municipal politics, bush nationalism, mixed marriages and the abortion and contraception debates.
The names of the Loyal Orange Lodge and the Knights of the Southern Cross evoke memories of bitter division as religious leaders sought to dictate the shape of our society. But to focus only on the rivalry is to obscure important truths about the role of religion in Australian life.
In this fascinating book. Michael Hogan teases out the sectarian strand, noting its colour and composition, testing its strength.
