"British Catholics and Fascism" is a comprehensive study of the way in which British
Catholic communities reacted to fascism both at home and abroad. Drawing on substantial
primary research, Tom Villis sheds new light on religious identity and political extremism
in early twentieth-century Britain. He examines the careers and thought of numerous
prominent Catholic writers and cultural commentators as well as the role of the Catholic
press more generally, the views of the hierarchy and the overtures which the British
Union of Fascists made to the Catholic communities. Debates about fascism became symbolic
of the wider difficulties in articulating a religious political critique in an increasingly
secular political culture. For many Catholics, pro-fascism became a way of expressing
their own distinct political and social identity in a society which largely held different
views
