The Lectures were given at the time of the 'Papal Aggression' crisis of 1850-51 and reveal a brilliant satirical attack on anti-Catholic prejudice which landed Newman in court for libel. Newman himself thought they were his best written work, and the leading Newman scholar, Ian Ker, has called them a "neglected satirical masterpiece".
