Abstrakt: This article offers a series of reflections on some aspects of the historiography of English Catholicism, set within the context of recent developments in research on the Continental Counter Reformation. Focusing on the question of how far the reforms ordered by the Council of Trent could be pursued and implemented by a missionary priesthood against the backdrop of Protestant persecution, it suggests that the relationship between post-Reformation Catholicism in England and the wider European and extra-European movement for Catholic renewal may be more complex and interesting than the existing literature implies. In particular, it argues that the condition of repression and prescription had contradictory effects: in certain contexts it facilitated the process of evangelical and pastoral rejuvenation, while in other respects it operated as a significant inhibitor to it.
