"Two Addresses" by N. Rigby is a series of religious and political addresses written in the mid-19th century. The work features a Catholic priest's defense of the Catholic Church in response to the uproar over recent papal actions and Protestant reactions in England. It addresses both Protestant clergy and the local gentlemen of Whitby regarding perceived threats from Catholicism, emphasizing arguments about loyalty, historical injustices, and the rights of Catholics in England. The opening of the addresses introduces a call for understanding and fairness between Catholics and Protestants during a period of heightened tension following the Pope's declaration of a Catholic hierarchy in England. The Catholic priest argues passionately against the accusations leveled by Protestants, using historical facts to highlight injustices against Catholics and to assert their rights. In a pointed critique, he invokes the notion of charity and equality within the Christian community, demonstrating a strong belief in tolerance and dialogue. He sets the scene for a thorough discussion on the role of the Catholic Church, the nature of religious authority, and the historical context that has led to contemporary tensions between the faiths.
