Table of Contents Wolfe Tone's Argument for Catholic Emancipation in 18th-Century Ireland Table of Contents

 
  1. Tone's Argument asserts the reason why Ireland is in the inglorious state that it is in.
  2. The problem, Tone says, is that Ireland has no national government.
  3. The power of the pope to interfere with secular affairs has lessoned, Tone says, and there is no reason to believe that emancipation would result in Rome taking over Ireland.
  4. Tone's propagandizing of the Catholic cause did much to overcome prejudices in Belfast .
  5. Six weeks after the initial publication of Tone's Argument, the ?Agreement to form an association of United Irishmen? was signed on September 16, 1791

Abstract

Theobald wolfe tone was one of the founding members of the United Irishmen, and was also a well-known supporter of catholic emancipation. This paper will examine how tone's argument on behalf of the Catholics of ireland, published the first of August, 1791, changed the way that reformers in ireland regarded the question of catholic emancipation.
The catholic Penal laws, instituted at the beginning of the century to prevent the catholic majority from gaining any political or economic power, gave rise to tensions which increased rather than decreased with time.
