Pro-Romanism and the Tractarian Movement is a historical book written by Charles Chapman Grafton and originally published in 1908. The book explores the Tractarian Movement, a religious movement that emerged in the Church of England during the early 19th century. The movement was characterized by its emphasis on traditional liturgy, sacramental worship, and a return to the teachings and practices of the early Christian Church.Grafton's book focuses on the role of pro-Roman Catholicism in the Tractarian Movement. He argues that many of the movement's leaders were influenced by Roman Catholic theology and practices, and that this influence was a major factor in the movement's development. Grafton also examines the controversy and conflicts that arose within the Church of England as a result of the Tractarian Movement, including the Oxford Movement and the Gorham Controversy.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the Tractarian Movement and its relationship to Roman Catholicism. Grafton draws on a wide range of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and other historical documents, to provide a detailed and nuanced account of this important period in the history of the Church of England.Overall, Pro-Romanism and the Tractarian Movement is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the Church of England, or the Tractarian Movement specifically.
