text_original: To Lord John the action of the Papacy seemed to be " insolent and insidious " ; and the Prime Minister unquestionably represented in this matter the opinions of the great mass of his countrymen. But there was ambiguity in his assertion that the nation looked " with contempt on the mummeries of superstition," and to describe the Tractarians " as unworthy sons of the Church of England " was gratuitously offensive.
