 " A so called idolatrous Roman Catholic Priest. Workhouse Chaplain".

I read this differently, because of the "so-called". Isn't this a tongue in cheek comment by the priest himself, and faithfully transcribed by Kate?

That would be my understanding of it.

Confused by the responses, "relating to or practising idolatry; idol-worshipping."
Isn't the basis of practices of religion just that??

Historically, Protestantism was considered much more simple than Roman Catholicism, which early Protestants said did not focus on God but more on ritual and symbols etc. Or so I was taught in History A-Level last year.
