Abstract

Antonio Ponz became interested in the religious question during his visit to England in 1783. He did not take the question of the freedom of worship seriously due to the fact that English laws discriminated against the Catholics. He failed to understand the reasons for that popular antipathy towards a minority which was not inherently dangerous. Some of his comments and opinions about the images in the churches make think that he was not qualified to understand English Catholicism.
