Tamar Harrington when Carson decided to not move with her when she was going to marry Carlisle she told him off 😢and when Carson tried to snap her out of her depression after Matthew passed😢 those 2 times are all I can recall but she was horrible to him. Broke my heart for him because he loved her as a daughter... but they made it through 😊
@@Tiffany-vj1tv Well, she was a _little_ snarky to Tom on occasion, too, if it comes to that. Maybe after Matthew died she was in such a funk she could hardly be nice to anyone.
I loved Mary in this storyline. After loosing her sister she finally seems to want the best for her family and really shows compassion for them. Her relationship with Tom became one of my favourite things on the show. I loved how they really became brother and sister.
I think it’s Sybil she really is tender for. Even before she died she went out to get her back so that she won’t elope but get married properly and not run off. She wanted her to have the family’s approval even if she knew it was a low chance and she personally disapproved. She always was softer on Sybil because she always was the diamond of her eye. Not necessarily mean when she was hoping Sybil would give up on Tom. But also even after though she knows the family would disapprove of a catholic christening she always thinks of the family and asks him to give them a chance to come over. But she always at heart wanted Sybil and toms wishes and interest at heart
Mary has always been kind to people who needed help. Was never nasty to her maids, was generous to them. Sure she was bitchy to people on her level, her sisters and rich lords and ladies, but they can take it. Matthew saw the best in her and was a kind enough person that she didn't have to wear armor around him. She was never completely selfish and got better as the show went on.
"Sybil would want you there, she loved you with all her heart & she would want you there" Robert cut short his ridicule, realizing family matters more than anything...great scene.
I think that was the moment when Cora realized just how much Tom loved Sybil. Putting away any personal displeasure he may have with Robert and his attitude towards Sybbie being catholic and Tom's desire that all of his wife's family be part of this process.
One thing I appreciate about Downton Abbey is how the characters continue to talk about the loved ones who died (ie, the actors left). Very true to life that big events would trigger memories of the departed and wistfulness that they're not here to share the moment. So many shows kill off characters and then you never hear "boo" about them -- it's like they never existed.
Notice the ladies all in lavender-it was a color of half-mourning, one to wear after the period of all black, though some chose to remain in black even past that time.
The Crawleys being so faithfully Protestant is fitting considering the Abbey was given to them during the reformation and I hadn’t realized that until now 😂
England became Protestant and thank God for that! The Catholic religious houses had to be abolished in order for domestic and political security to reign. The Papacy was not happy regarding Englands decision to leave the "Holy" Roman Empire with all its benefits.......NOT! Rome had been sucking England dry with taxes and supporting ridiculously lavish Roman Catholic Abbeys and was in its 300th year of murdering and persecuting bible believing Christians. Besides that many of the RC clergy were uneducated, worthless and dishonourable. Besides that they taught superstitious nonsense not found in the Bible and banned the Bible from being translated into English since 1201 AD. Ordinary people were being burned at the stake for possessing one page of scripture or teaching their children the Our Father prayer in English! Rome has NEVER apologised for the 50 million.Christian martyrs she killed and today has 125 curses still standing against all Protestant Churches. Every single major war since 1540 can be attributed to the Jesuits machinations and manipulations. Besides this the Vatican is a country within itself and all Catholics are taught to give their allegiance to the Papacy before any Protestant Civil power. Queen Elizabeth the First had 20 assassination attempts alone on her life during her reign. Read 'Vatican Assassins' by Eric Phelps, watch Berean Beacon - Richard Bennett and watch the recent film 'American Jesuits' by Chris Pinto.
From seeing her actions, I'd say she's more or less fine with Roman Catholics themselves as people, but is uncomfortable with interacting with the Catholic Church itself.
Robert always loved Sybbie, she was his first grandchild, and a living legacy of his baby daughter. He came to love Tom as his son later but there was nothing little known in Robert loving Sybbie

I too finding it interesting, as I don't know many Protestants except my late uncle's British wife and I don't know the faith of my British cousins, as it is not my business to know.

Only she and uncle were caught co-habiting before their wedding, and so Catholic grandmother was pressurising them to marry. I guess grandmother frantically worried about them going to hell for living "in sin."

Really enjoying these clips. Just got to buy A Moorland Holiday, Series 6 and the Finale then I have them all and will be doing a Downton Fest on the sofa with a box of chocolates. My parents watch their box set of Downton Abbey this time every year. It helps them get through the winter. Thanks for sharing and reminding me of bits I had forgotten. Julian Fellows is such a brilliant writer. A few mistakes in etiquette now and then but I still love it.
One thing this makes clear. Regardless of Catholic v. Protestant, it's the photographers who run the show! (Happens among Jews too. The photographers boss everyone around.)
You can tell the people in the comment section who have their own agenda and can't even take a few moments to enjoy the writer's point of this beautiful family scene. No one seems to be able to enjoy just living and enjoying familial love these days. Everything has to turn into a discussion about some "issue".
Because everyone has invested in the show u air u views and it was amazing series so the discussions on comments lovely to read as now u can chat about the clothes the actors and well written dialogue
This prejudice exists in the States, too, both historically and today. Along with Jews and African-Americans, the KKK also targeted Catholics. And when I converted from the Episcopal church to Rome, my cousins sadly said that they "wished they could be happy" for me. When I was a child, the RC church in Fishers Island was still known as the "maids church."
To be precise, as a non-Catholic Mary can not be a godmother, she can merely be a witness at the baptism. (At least that is the modern canon law, I can't imagine it was more ecumenical in the era of DA.) A godparent is supposed to play a role in the spiritual formation of the child and obviously you do not want a none-Catholic to do that. In popular culture I can imagine the distinction might get blurred, nowadays. don't know how realistic it is Tom would blur them.
@@deleyfamily566 Here is a canon lawyer who says what I said canonlawmadeeasy.com/2007/12/27/can-non-catholics-serve-as-baptismal-sponsors/ Maybe your priest ignored the rules, I don't know.
My experience was my Godmother was a confirmation Catholic. Her husband died suddenly near my birth so another male had to replace an earlier selected person. My parents were permitted to select a replacement because a death had occurred it could have been any male in the family. my 9 year old Godfather was not yet confirmation Catholic. Tom was correct in that in the case of emergency (unexpected death) accomodations would be permitted.
I love the comment section. As if the animosity between the two is over. Remember, Tom is also Irish. Ireland a country that England occupied for 900 years. Elizabeth's campaigns of subjugation in Ireland. Why do you think a good chunk of the late 20th century were dubbed "the Troubles" in Ireland? All because Protestant vs. Catholic.... Maybe do a bit of research before ya comment. For this one, at least watch the episode of "Derry Girls" in which they meet with a class of Protestants. They can't find anything in common
I never liked her very much as the spoilt and mean woman she was most of the time but I have to say I do love the genuine friendship and respect between Tom and her. It is a wonderful thing to see.
I always found it odd that Tom was so insistent that his baby be baptized Catholic yet when he married the second time he couldn't have cared less what kind of a church it was in.
The funny is that The Church of England is really similar to the Roman Catholic Church in terms of ceremonies and stuff like that, especially if it's a "high" church, which I assume would be what Lord Grantham would have been a part of.
The U.S. South has much of this attitude toward Roman Catholics. However, as a nation, check the Supreme Court, the U.S House of Representatives, and the U.S. Senate--all heavily Roman Catholic vis-a-vis the general population.
The Catholic Church, also known as the Roman Catholic Church, is the largest Christian church, with more than 1.29 billion members worldwide. As one of the oldest religious institutions in the world, it has played a prominent role in the history and development of Western civilisation. Headed by the Bishop of Rome, known as the Pope, the church's doctrines are summarised in the Nicene Creed. Its central administration, the Holy See, is in the Vatican City, enclaved within Rome, Italy. The Catholic Church teaches that it is the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic church founded by Jesus Christ in his Great Commission, that its bishops are the successors of Christ's apostles, and that the Pope is the successor to Saint Peter to whom primacy was conferred by Jesus Christ. It maintains that it practises the original Christian faith, reserving infallibility, passed down by sacred tradition. The Latin Church, the Eastern Catholic Churches, and institutes such as mendicant orders and enclosed monastic orders reflect a variety of theological and spiritual emphases in the Church. Of its seven sacraments the Eucharist is the principal one, celebrated liturgically in the Mass. The church teaches that through consecration by a priest the sacrificial bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ. The Virgin Mary is venerated in the Catholic Church as Mother of God and Queen of Heaven, honoured in dogmas and devotions. Its teaching includes sanctification through faith and evangelisation of the Gospel and Catholic social teaching, which emphasises support for the sick, the poor, and the afflicted through the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. The Catholic Church is the largest non-government provider of education and health care in the world. The Catholic Church has influenced Western philosophy, culture, science, and art. The Catholic Church shared communion with the Eastern Orthodox Church until the East-West Schism in 1054, disputing particularly the authority of the Pope, as well as with the Oriental Orthodox churches prior to the Chalcedonian schism in 451 over differences in Christology. Catholics live all over the world through missions, diaspora, and conversions. Since the 20th century the majority reside in the southern hemisphere due to secularisation in Europe, and increased persecution in the Middle East. From the late 20th century, the Catholic Church has been criticised for its doctrines on sexuality, its refusal to ordain women and its handling of sexual abuse cases.
The Orthodox Church would challenge a lot of this. The pope was not involved in either of the first two Ecumenical Councils that established the Nicean Creed. And in that very early proclaimation of the Universal and Apostolic Christian Faith there is no mention whatsoever of popes, a "Chair of Peter", papal supremacy, purgatorial flames, indulgences et al.
When Sybill died I was like "fuck this shit, I'm out - I'm done" and I jumped off the Downton Abbey boat and swam back to shore. Therefore, I have no idea what happened after she died.
A pity. The bond that develops between Tom and the Crawleys became a highlight of the show, he becomes a brother to Mary and Edith, and eventually Robert sees him as the son he never got to have with Cora. While Violet refers to him as “the most sensible one of the family”, after herself of course.
Being descended from an ancient English family, I'm always curious as to why there's never an Anglican vicar or parish priest paying a call to a socially prominent family such as the residents of Downton Abbey. This would be de rigeur on both sides, with the parish priest being a regular dinner guest...
I'm not very knowledgeable on the bible, but I do seem to remember that the story of Jesus's Baptism refers to Jesus being baptised in the river Jordan, rather than christened in the river Jordan.
Not necessarily. There's always been a Catholic Church and a Protestant Church. Throughout History, we have had both Protestant and Catholic Rulers, Henry just broke away from the Catholic Church.
If you're blaming Henry VIII, why not blame instead the pope who wouldn't let him annul his marriage? Look at it from Henry's side: his wife was already too old to have children, he had no heir, and the memory of the War of the Roses was very much alive - an heir was needed. We take divorce for granted now. He had to form a new church to get that.
Galastel His wife actually had 6 children and one was a boy. It was really him wanting to carry on his dynasty. He also did not like being controlled and the money from ransacking monasteries and abbies came in handy too. He was not a nice man in his later years but then neither were many in power including the religious leaders.
@@rosierennie5867 There was no such thing as Protestants until Martin Luther in the 16th Century. Western Europe was all Catholic until then. (There were Orthodox churches in Eastern Europe, and other kinds of Christians in other places, like in the Middle East.)
This may sound like an ignorant question, please pardon me, but aren't they Christians, all of them? Does Tom have a different religion than the Crawley's?
@@theoutlook55 I see, I just looked up the difference between the two. I had no idea Christians were also divided into sects who feel so strongly about each other's. Thank you for explaining.
@@Lillymon you're welcome. The divisions were more serious several decades ago, and it's the reason why Northern Ireland's city of Belfast is divided into Protestant and Catholic sections.
It is meant to be offensive, which is historically accurate. Catholics had very few rights in England after Henry VIII, even as far as the 1920s. They couldn’t run for Parliament. The great landed families like the Crawleys lived in homes that had belonged to the Catholic Church. Downton “Abbey” is only theirs because of Henry VIIIs dissolution of the monasteries. For them being Catholic is like being anti-English. So of course they don’t like Catholics.
I'm really sorry, I know nothing about religion in Britain. If they didn't want little Sybil to be catholic, what were they all? I thought they were catholic...
Christianity consists of lots of denominations (kind of like sub-divisions of the religion). From my knowledge, anti-catholics could be protestants, evangelists, orthodox christians, quakers, or a form of identifying as irreligious (atheist, agnostic, etc). I think Roman Catholicism and Catholicism in England were / are seen as different also, and the Church of England took a reformed view on their teachings rather than a traditional catholic view.
They would be Church of England (also known as Anglican) Protestants - the dominant religion in England since the mid-16th century (although there is still a substantial Catholic minority). Tom is a Catholic because he's Irish rather than English.
Sybies maternal Great Grandfather, Cora's father was Jewish, her maternal Grandfather is Anglican her Maternal Grandmother is Episcopalian and she like her Father and his family Catholic. And no religious arguments.
I don't understand whats with the British and their Catholic and Protestant thing? its better than being with another religion from the middle east.........
When England separated from the RCC, they eventually began to think of all who remained RCC as anti-English, because if you are English why not join the Church of England, rather than the Church of Rome?
I think Henry's VIII's younger daughter made it impossible for Irish Catholics (ie people like Tom Branson) to own land, or even own livestock. It still was a problem as late as 1916 hence the Easter Rellebion (for Anglians) or the Easter Uprising (Irish Catholics)
It's all back to the split of the CoE from Roman Catholicism. For the longest time in english history, there has been many attempts by the catholics to overthrow the protestant government, in which they were supported by the roman church or other catholic nations. The most famous attempt was by guy fawkes. That is why catholics were traditionally seen to be suspicious by anglicans. Even until today, the law still say that a catholic cannot be the monarch. They can convert from any religion to anglicanism before becoming a monarch, but if you were catholic, you were deemed to be naturally dead already.
Tom was the only person I think Mary was always nice to. Their chemistry and platonic love was really a treat to watch.
@Amber I was about to say the same thing x
She was also seldom nasty to her father. And I don't think I ever heard harsh word between her and Mr. Carson.

Julian Fellows is such a brilliant writer. A few mistakes in etiquette now and then but I still love it.
This is one of my favorites.
Everyone about this is perfect. I don’t think I’ve ever smashed the like button harder on a video. 😆🥰😭
i'm fond of diamonds 😍

Toms brother and Robert would’ve gotten along swimmingly had the class and religious difference not stood in the way 😂
I would say that class was the problem, as Tom's brother found Robert's barb about catholic mass funny.
One thing this makes clear. Regardless of Catholic v. Protestant, it's the photographers who run the show! (Happens among Jews too. The photographers boss everyone around.)
“Help! I was converted while I wasn’t looking!”
Not the Father killing smiles. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tom's brother giggling at Robert's description of Mass
Fun fact: The photographer at the end is an actual modern photographer 😄
that baby is soooo cute!!!!!
This is a great video
You can tell the people in the comment section who have their own agenda and can't even take a few moments to enjoy the writer's point of this beautiful family scene. No one seems to be able to enjoy just living and enjoying familial love these days. Everything has to turn into a discussion about some "issue".
Because everyone has invested in the show u air u views and it was amazing series so the discussions on comments lovely to read as now u can chat about the clothes the actors and well written dialogue
311 people out of 729,454 viewers bothered to comment anything. That's a ratio of 0.0426%. It's practically nothing, if not infinitesimal.
Fair enough Mr Smith.I didnt know that.I had one who wasnt a Catholic and one who was for my Son's Baptism.
It shows how much prejudices have been in England and still are against Catholic Church.
This prejudice exists in the States, too, both historically and today. Along with Jews and African-Americans, the KKK also targeted Catholics. And when I converted from the Episcopal church to Rome, my cousins sadly said that they "wished they could be happy" for me. When I was a child, the RC church in Fishers Island was still known as the "maids church."
That baby is a cutie pie 😍
To be precise, as a non-Catholic Mary can not be a godmother, she can merely be a witness at the baptism. (At least that is the modern canon law, I can't imagine it was more ecumenical in the era of DA.) A godparent is supposed to play a role in the spiritual formation of the child and obviously you do not want a none-Catholic to do that. In popular culture I can imagine the distinction might get blurred, nowadays. don't know how realistic it is Tom would blur them.
Not true I have not an Anglican and anOrthodox as my childrens godparents
@@deleyfamily566 Here is a canon lawyer who says what I said canonlawmadeeasy.com/2007/12/27/can-non-catholics-serve-as-baptismal-sponsors/ Maybe your priest ignored the rules, I don't know.
I’d presume most priests ignore the rules, it’s not the medieval times
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godparent
My experience was my Godmother was a confirmation Catholic. Her husband died suddenly near my birth so another male had to replace an earlier selected person. My parents were permitted to select a replacement because a death had occurred it could have been any male in the family. my 9 year old Godfather was not yet confirmation Catholic. Tom was correct in that in the case of emergency (unexpected death) accomodations would be permitted.
AAAAAHHH !!BABY SYBIL SO CUTE INDEED !!!THANKS FOR THE UP- LOAD .FROM (U.K.).
Sybil and Tom's baby is cute, it's also cute that the baby's name is also Sybil but called sybbie
If I could like it again, I would.
Robert is such a handsome guy!
I love the comment section. As if the animosity between the two is over. Remember, Tom is also Irish. Ireland a country that England occupied for 900 years. Elizabeth's campaigns of subjugation in Ireland.
Why do you think a good chunk of the late 20th century were dubbed "the Troubles" in Ireland? All because Protestant vs. Catholic....
Maybe do a bit of research before ya comment.
For this one, at least watch the episode of "Derry Girls" in which they meet with a class of Protestants.
They can't find anything in common
They can't find anything in common until they realize being an awkward teenager with embarrassing parents is universal
@@katarinaezikovich8812 That's writing; putting a moral in at the end of the episode.
"The Troubles" were in Northern Ireland not Ireland. Northern Ireland is part of the UK, Ireland is not.
1:40 always makes me laugh
To be fair, the priest looked like a vampire in this scene
Travis, the Anglican priest of the family, is even worse...
Why are you not posting anymore!? :(
Because Downton Abbey isn't broadcasting anymore
No matter how snotty this family can be, they'd made sure to put their arrogance aside to love one another.
3:05 HAHAHAHAHAHA
I never liked her very much as the spoilt and mean woman she was most of the time but I have to say I do love the genuine friendship and respect between Tom and her. It is a wonderful thing to see.
I always found it odd that Tom was so insistent that his baby be baptized Catholic yet when he married the second time he couldn't have cared less what kind of a church it was in.
Well, those events did take place 7 or 8 years apart, and he was a very different person by then…
@@saberthecoolest Maybe
The funny is that The Church of England is really similar to the Roman Catholic Church in terms of ceremonies and stuff like that, especially if it's a "high" church, which I assume would be what Lord Grantham would have been a part of.
Where I find all this film in which channal ?
Nika 31 it’s a show and all seasons are on amazon prime with a subscription
I didn't understand what did cora mean by her comment about being converted if he wasnt looking or something
She was making a joke that if he wasn't careful Robert might turn into a Roman Catholic by standing next to the priest
The U.S. South has much of this attitude toward Roman Catholics.
However, as a nation, check the Supreme Court, the U.S House of Representatives, and the U.S. Senate--all heavily Roman Catholic vis-a-vis the general population.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_in_the_United_States
Actually the Catholic Church is booming in the Southern US.
The Catholic Church, also known as the Roman Catholic Church, is the largest Christian church, with more than 1.29 billion members worldwide.
As one of the oldest religious institutions in the world, it has played a prominent role in the history and development of Western civilisation.
Headed by the Bishop of Rome, known as the Pope, the church's doctrines are summarised in the Nicene Creed.
Its central administration, the Holy See, is in the Vatican City, enclaved within Rome, Italy.
The Catholic Church teaches that it is the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic church founded by Jesus Christ in his Great Commission, that its bishops are the successors of Christ's apostles, and that the Pope is the successor to Saint Peter to whom primacy was conferred by Jesus Christ.
It maintains that it practises the original Christian faith, reserving infallibility, passed down by sacred tradition.
The Latin Church, the Eastern Catholic Churches, and institutes such as mendicant orders and enclosed monastic orders reflect a variety of theological and spiritual emphases in the Church.
Of its seven sacraments the Eucharist is the principal one, celebrated liturgically in the Mass.
The church teaches that through consecration by a priest the sacrificial bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ.
The Virgin Mary is venerated in the Catholic Church as Mother of God and Queen of Heaven, honoured in dogmas and devotions.
Its teaching includes sanctification through faith and evangelisation of the Gospel and Catholic social teaching, which emphasises support for the sick, the poor, and the afflicted through the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
The Catholic Church is the largest non-government provider of education and health care in the world.
The Catholic Church has influenced Western philosophy, culture, science, and art.
The Catholic Church shared communion with the Eastern Orthodox Church until the East-West Schism in 1054, disputing particularly the authority of the Pope, as well as with the Oriental Orthodox churches prior to the Chalcedonian schism in 451 over differences in Christology.
Catholics live all over the world through missions, diaspora, and conversions.
Since the 20th century the majority reside in the southern hemisphere due to secularisation in Europe, and increased persecution in the Middle East.
From the late 20th century, the Catholic Church has been criticised for its doctrines on sexuality, its refusal to ordain women and its handling of sexual abuse cases.
Stella Maris well thank you, I guess.
The Orthodox Church would challenge a lot of this. The pope was not involved in either of the first two Ecumenical Councils that established the Nicean Creed. And in that very early proclaimation of the Universal and Apostolic Christian Faith there is no mention whatsoever of popes, a "Chair of Peter", papal supremacy, purgatorial flames, indulgences et al.
+HaHaVids
Stella Maris The Orthodox Church is older though
Is your ego now served for giving this bloated and unnecessary lesson?
When Sybill died I was like "fuck this shit, I'm out - I'm done" and I jumped off the Downton Abbey boat and swam back to shore. Therefore, I have no idea what happened after she died.
How ladylike!
A pity. The bond that develops between Tom and the Crawleys became a highlight of the show, he becomes a brother to Mary and Edith, and eventually Robert sees him as the son he never got to have with Cora. While Violet refers to him as “the most sensible one of the family”, after herself of course.
Matthew & Tom look better with highlights
È possibile averlo in italiano
Nobody expects the Catholic conversion!
❤️
Baptism, not a christening; the latter is Church of England or Episcopalian.
Yes. But "society" prefers christening. Not to bad. Old English for "Christian-ing". But in both Communions "Baptism" is more correct.
Lots To Learn what about the Orthodox Church?
Being descended from an ancient English family, I'm always curious as to why there's never an Anglican vicar or parish priest paying a call to a socially prominent family such as the residents of Downton Abbey. This would be de rigeur on both sides, with the parish priest being a regular dinner guest...
@@Austin8thGenTexan the local vicar appeared in several episodes
I'm not very knowledgeable on the bible, but I do seem to remember that the story of Jesus's Baptism refers to Jesus being baptised in the river Jordan, rather than christened in the river Jordan.
It's all Henry VIII's fault that there's such a violent divide in England smh
Lizi Pearl Henry? I think that's a bit of a stretch. It was multiple sources that caused a divide.
Not necessarily. There's always been a Catholic Church and a Protestant Church. Throughout History, we have had both Protestant and Catholic Rulers, Henry just broke away from the Catholic Church.
If you're blaming Henry VIII, why not blame instead the pope who wouldn't let him annul his marriage? Look at it from Henry's side: his wife was already too old to have children, he had no heir, and the memory of the War of the Roses was very much alive - an heir was needed. We take divorce for granted now. He had to form a new church to get that.
Galastel His wife actually had 6 children and one was a boy. It was really him wanting to carry on his dynasty. He also did not like being controlled and the money from ransacking monasteries and abbies came in handy too. He was not a nice man in his later years but then neither were many in power including the religious leaders.
@@rosierennie5867 There was no such thing as Protestants until Martin Luther in the 16th Century. Western Europe was all Catholic until then. (There were Orthodox churches in Eastern Europe, and other kinds of Christians in other places, like in the Middle East.)
They named the baby after the mother?
Yes
I wish Sybil didn't leave
This may sound like an ignorant question, please pardon me, but aren't they Christians, all of them?
Does Tom have a different religion than the Crawley's?
He’s Catholic
Tom, as with most Irish, is Catholic. The rest are Protestants, probably in the Anglican church denomination.
@@theoutlook55 I see, I just looked up the difference between the two. I had no idea Christians were also divided into sects who feel so strongly about each other's. Thank you for explaining.
@@Lillymon you're welcome. The divisions were more serious several decades ago, and it's the reason why Northern Ireland's city of Belfast is divided into Protestant and Catholic sections.
@@theoutlook55 I see. Reminds me of the Sunni and Shia divisions within Muslim societies.
Hahahaaa @ 1:40
Dear Lord its true
En español
The only people to whom Mary was always nice were Carson, Anna, and Tom.
Thomas was liberal, but after he got into the family he became conservative so quickly!
Tom Branson was an Irish republican socialist and remained so. He just became more moderate about it.
I love this show and I am proud to be a Catholic. I can't help but find these parts a bit offensive though😜
Oh for heavens sake...Its how people felt or were raised to believe in that time period. Story trying to keep true to the era.
It was written by a Catholic
@@pedanticradiatorJulian Fellowes is Catholic is he?
@@dreamsteddybearsmaster yes he is
It is meant to be offensive, which is historically accurate. Catholics had very few rights in England after Henry VIII, even as far as the 1920s. They couldn’t run for Parliament. The great landed families like the Crawleys lived in homes that had belonged to the Catholic Church. Downton “Abbey” is only theirs because of Henry VIIIs dissolution of the monasteries. For them being Catholic is like being anti-English. So of course they don’t like Catholics.
The Olde religion.. .Henry the VIII was nothing to boast about.
Is the Crawley family and servants Protestants????
Yes mostly
@@pedanticradiator ok...tnx
I'm really sorry, I know nothing about religion in Britain. If they didn't want little Sybil to be catholic, what were they all? I thought they were catholic...
Christianity consists of lots of denominations (kind of like sub-divisions of the religion). From my knowledge, anti-catholics could be protestants, evangelists, orthodox christians, quakers, or a form of identifying as irreligious (atheist, agnostic, etc). I think Roman Catholicism and Catholicism in England were / are seen as different also, and the Church of England took a reformed view on their teachings rather than a traditional catholic view.
THe Crawleys are not Catholic. Sybbie's father Tom Branson is Irish and a Catholic.. and he wants his daughter to be brought up Catholic
@@glen7318 Then what are the Crawleys?
@@ituzem8223 the Crawleys are Anglican
They would be Church of England (also known as Anglican) Protestants - the dominant religion in England since the mid-16th century (although there is still a substantial Catholic minority). Tom is a Catholic because he's Irish rather than English.
Sybies maternal Great Grandfather, Cora's father was Jewish, her maternal Grandfather is Anglican her Maternal Grandmother is Episcopalian and she like her Father and his family Catholic. And no religious arguments.
I don't understand whats with the British and their Catholic and Protestant thing? its better than being with another religion from the middle east.........
exactly or jewish
When England separated from the RCC, they eventually began to think of all who remained RCC as anti-English, because if you are English why not join the Church of England, rather than the Church of Rome?
I think Henry's VIII's younger daughter made it impossible for Irish Catholics (ie people like Tom Branson) to own land, or even own livestock. It still was a problem as late as 1916 hence the Easter Rellebion (for Anglians) or the Easter Uprising (Irish Catholics)
It's all back to the split of the CoE from Roman Catholicism. For the longest time in english history, there has been many attempts by the catholics to overthrow the protestant government, in which they were supported by the roman church or other catholic nations. The most famous attempt was by guy fawkes. That is why catholics were traditionally seen to be suspicious by anglicans. Even until today, the law still say that a catholic cannot be the monarch. They can convert from any religion to anglicanism before becoming a monarch, but if you were catholic, you were deemed to be naturally dead already.
Episcopalians are remarkably similar to catholics.
