Anti-clericalism

Anti-Catholic anti-clerical cartoon from Guardians of Liberty (1943)

Anti-clericalism is opposition to religious authority, typically in social or political matters. Historical anti-clericalism has mainly been opposed to the influence of Roman Catholicism. Anti-clericalism is related to secularism, which seeks to separate the church from public and political life.[1]
