Video : Repeal of Test Act permits Catholics to hold Parliamentary office for the first time

Video Title

A 1790 cartoon satirizing the efforts of Charles James Fox to get the acts repealed. Theologian Joseph Priestley preaches from atop a pile of his own works, in a pulpit inscribed "FANATICISM", to Fox seated in a box pew. Fox asks, "Pray, Doctor is there such a thing as a Devil?" Priestley responds "No", However the devil himself announces, "If you had eyes behind, you'd know better my dear Doctor".
