It was the time of the 'Papal Aggression' in England. Anti-Catholicism was in the air, and found a congenial exponent in George Brown, whose vehement and intolerant nature espoused the new crusade with enthusiasm.
His chief hatred was for Catholicism and he directed all his attacks at the religion of his forefathers, as he ironically termed it. He had founded a Masonic lodge, named the "Microbe," and whose principal characteristic was anti-Catholicism. Ortigosa carried his propaganda everywhere. He stopped at every corner to speechify, to talk of his plans.
His letters abundantly show that he had no sympathy with the ribbons, the anniversaries, the party tunes, the insulting processions and insulting language of the Orangemen; and, although he believed that in Ireland anti-Catholicism and loyalty were very closely connected, he viewed with much dislike the growth of any political confederacies unconnected with the Government.
