	Clericalism - tScholars.com
		Therefore the debate over clericalism and anti-clericalism is often really a debate over how and by whom the church should be lead and directed.
		In a pejorative manner, "clericalism" is often used to denote an ecclesiolatry approach to issues beyond the church by either clergy or their supporters while the term has also been applied in a pejorative manner to describe the cronyism and cloistered political environs of the Church—mainly in reference to the Roman Catholic Church.
		Clericalism is the application of the formal, church-based, leadership or opinion of ordained clergy in matters of either the church or broader political and sociocultural import.

	Clericalism and Anti-Clericalism
		Simply defined, "clericalism" is a kind of elitist classism in which the church equals its clergy, and "anti-clericalism" is any reaction to that wrong-headed assumption.
		One of the more vexing aspects of the church's contemporary life is the festering and twinned evils of clericalism and anti-clericalism.
		The worldview of clericalism is in direct distinction to the worldview of contemporary culture.

	Karl Kautsky: Clericalism and the Socialist Attitude (1903)
		Clericalism cannot be killed in a capitalist society.
		The supply of the cheapest and the quietest workers was taken away from the middle class and was available for the use of their clerical competitors.
		It is a serious error to urge the workers to fight the Clericals rather than the capitalists, and it will retard the complete triumph of the proletariat.

	Political spectrum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This axis is not significant in the United States where views of the role of religion tend to get subsumed into the general left-right axis, but in Europe clericalism versus anti-clericalism is much less correlated with the left-right spectrum.
		Those who believe clerics should have the power to enforce Islamic law are on one end of the spectrum, those who support a secular society are on the other; moderates fall at various points in between.
		In Iran, for instance, a political spectrum might be divided along the issue of the clergy's role in government.

	Clericalism and Socialism by Enrico Ferri 1902
		Socialism being also a political party which defends working men and labours for their freedom, must also be anti-Clerical, because Clericalism, with its spirit of resignation, is “the fatty degeneration of religion” used as the ally of capitalist supremacy.
		In Italy, where anti-Clericalism derives its strength from national sentiment – for the Catholic Church is opposed to national unity – the middle-classes have, after an anti-Clerical propaganda of a hundred years, achieved hardly anything.
		But it is easy to show, when a strike occurs to peasants and workers, the social meaning of Clericalism, when it is seen that the priests are always on the side of the capitalists.

		No doubt there were certain clerics abusing the trust of their flock at any point in history.
		Thomas was absolutely right when he stated that sin is inherent in human beings (a point that seems obvious to everyone except left-wing social engineers who, unfortunately, possess a great deal of power).
		But I find it hard to believe that the Catholic Church is stonewalling justice as aggressively as Mr.

	What continuity and what common future?
		We have to strike at the heart of clericalism and demand a complete separation of churches and states.
		That was the fight to defeat clericalism and to make a triumph for the freedom of conscience.
		For us, the heart of the problem is not to limit ourselves to equal right for secularists, atheists and free thinkers and for believers and that our associations were granted the same rights and the same privileges as the churches.

	Independent Catholic News
		It is critical of the power plays (clericalism) of some clergy, of misconduct by some priests and members of religious orders who profess to live exemplary lives.
		In fact, one of the heroes of the film is a priest who tries to live the Gospel injunctions of service to the poor and oppressed but who becomes the victim of the power plays, this clericalism.
		This is particularly the case for nations which have centuries-old Hispanic tradition from Catholic countries and societies so different from those influenced by the 16th century Reformation, most of the countries of Europe as well as the United States.

		Clericalism, standing above her, was in the black garb of the priest.
		In this representation she was a bound prisoner surrounded by three symbolical oppressors: Clericalism, Militarism and Capitalism.
		Militarism, standing before her, wore a helmet, gas mask, gun, cartridge belt and high boots, and flourished a drawn sword.

	Commentary Magazine - Anti-Semitism in Modern France, by Robert F. Byrnes
		...Yet even the new clerical anti-Semitism in the beginning showed clear traces of the older tradition: certain leftist Catholic factions, who were inclined to accept the Republic and to advocate decisive social changes, accepted anti-Semitic arguments all the more eagerly for that...
		...By that same token, clerical support of antiSemitism, which formed passing episodes in the history of anti-Semitism in other countries, spelled its doom as a politically organized movement in France...
		...Clerical anti-Semitism has never been strong enough to develop into a major factor of modern politics...

		It was seventy-five years before the struggle against the emperor ended, and although the fight against simony and clerical immorality, as well as the effort to restore the ancient ascetic habit of clerical celibacy, never slackened, it was inevitable that the major contest should absorb the greater part of the energies of the various popes.
		Clerical ignorance, lay brutality and superstition were still, in the time of St. Bernard and Alexander III, only too common.
		The leaders were men of holy life, monks for the most part, shocked to see the general neglect of the most elementary precepts of the Gospel, their hearts lacerated at the spiritual peril that endangered souls.

	AKMA’s Random Thoughts: Executive Summary
		One consequence of our anti-clericalism, however, has been an inclination to obscure the authority of a clergy leader whose understanding and abilities warrant acknowledging her leadership.
		Maybe this is what I was trying to say Sunday: in the Episcopal Church, we had a long, lamentable tradition of clericalism, whereby people were expected to kowtow to clergy regardless of the ordained person’s capacities, simply because he [then] was ordained.
		The idea isn’t “clericalism” or “lay leadership,” but “leadership by people who know what they’re doing.”

	Anti-Clericalism and the Third Republic
		Three years later, Combes continued his anticlerical policies by forbidding the discussion of any religious topic, whatsoever, in the new public schools, and banning the display of any new religious symbols in public space, including graveyards.
		Combes forbid all religious clerics from teaching of any sort, expelled many from the country, closed virtually all Catholic churches for most of their functions, seized Church property, and broke diplomatic ties with the Vatican.

	Anti-clericalism as a unifying element in the CT
		Clearly we have "a man of faith, who is (in the traditional sense) immoral." Clearly, too, this is not the first time we have encountered a corrupt churchman in the CT--the Friar, the Summoner, and the Pardoner are all undersirables in some degree, and the Monk and Prioress also have their shortcomings.
		Is one of the "unifying elements of the CT a concern with clerical behavior?
		Does Chaucer have a consistent vision of what churchmen are--and more important, an implied vision of what they should be?

	Amazon.co.uk: The Power and the Glory (Penguin Classics): Books
		Greene’s depiction of the Mexican pogrom of clerics and one man’s bid to stay alive is more sophisticated than a battle of good versus evil, as it is riddled with ambiguous personalities.
		But as the last practising priest in the state, he is compelled to promote the Catholic faith – and through his travels he finds that the Christian devotion of communities is strong (frequently stronger than his own devotion), despite the dogma of the civil authorities.
		The priest's existence seems particularly dogged and doomed not only because of the illegality of his clerical activities but also because he is an alcoholic and has an illegitimate daughter.

	MAJORITY SYSTEM:
		It may perhaps not even be worth recalling that there is not one sector of Italian public life that does not demand a clear anti-clerical commitment if our country is to travel along the road of civil progress and contemporary social reality.
		Reduced to being the constant street companion of the monstrous revival of clericalism in our country, it has become corrupt and once again morally and politically prostrate.
		Consequently this series of undertakings must be organised on the basis of direct, individual contributions of money and energy and suggestions on the part of those who feel the necessity and the value of this program.

	CNS Movie Review: Kingdom of Heaven
		But it is distressing when, in the movie, the Christian camp is comprised of mostly caricaturized clerics -- of the arrogant or cowardly variety -- and war-mongering brutes drunk with ambition, bloodlust and religious fervor.
		This is not to deny that Christians' actions often fell grievously short of Gospel ideals.
		And the few "enlightened" Christian characters -- including Balian, the peace-loving Baldwin and Tiberias -- seem less motivated by firm faith, than by a vague humanism.

		One explanation may be that, since it is between consenting adults, there is no basis for the civil law action without which the present scandal would have been hushed.

		Clericalism and Anti-Clericalism were significant trends in Austria during that time, and I do not think that every person who was Anti-Clerical was pro-athiesm, especially since many who were Anti-Clerical were Protestant ministers.

	Happy Catholic: Us and Them
		Anti-clericalism has always existed within the Church and is probably inevitable in any institution that draws on diverse sources of authority.
		Through long tradition, the Church exalts its hierarchical structure and its clerical institutions, yet the deeply radical and egalitarian picture offered by the gospels often seems to clash with these institutional values.
		The two value systems can be reconciled, and usually have been -- Francis of Assisi never ceased to be a devoted son of the Church -- but the potential for conflict is always present.

	History in Focus: Empire Review Article on "Promoting the Colonial Idea"
		Indeed, anti-clericalism does not make it to the index, even though France was durably split into Catholic and dechristianised zones by the French Revolution, along fault lines that still count in French politics.
		Chafer and Sackur note the role of the colonial project in healing rifts between republicans and monarchists, which came close to destroying the Third Republic in its first decades, but they say nothing about the even more divisive issue of clericalism and anti-clericalism.
		The authors also fail to discuss arguments that French racism owed more to Lamarck than to Darwin, and thus allowed for a greater degree of 'upward racial mobility'.

	Freemasonry's Influence in Europe
		It is no surprise the Freemasonry has thrived in Italy, and much of Europe, as the lodges were the only place where men of different social classes could socialize and discuss issues outside of the eye of royal and clerical authorities.
		Actually, in the case of Italian society, "secret organizations" similar to the Masons thrived long before the construction of the London Lodge in 1711(?).
