Gradually the names Oxford movement and Tractarian gave way to Anglo-Catholic, which meant Anglicans who valued their unity with the catholic tradition in Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism but refused to accept the primacy of patriarch or pope.

To spread their views, the Oxford group launched in 1833 a series of Tracts for the Times, brief publications that gave rise to the label Tractarians. In these writings the Oxford leaders published their convictions on a single article of the creed: belief in “one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church.”
As an ideal for the church of England, they held up the church of the first five Christian centuries. It was there, they said, that the Christian church was undivided and truly catholic. They called themselves Catholics, on the ground that they were in agreement with this early catholic Christianity, and they shunned the name Protestant because it referred to a division in the church.
After the monarchy was restored in 1660, King Charles II gave a charter to a company that took three thousand slaves a year to the West Indies. From that time the trade grew to enormous proportions. In 1770, out of a total of one hundred thousand slaves a year from West Africa, British ships transported more than half.
The evangelicals of the Church of England were thoroughly loyal to their church and approved of its episcopal government. But they were willing to work with Nonconformist ministers and churches because their chief interest was not the church and its rites. They considered the preaching of the gospel more important than the performance of sacraments or the styles of ritual. Such a position was called low church.
Pope Pius IX sent an encyclical, or papal letter, to all bishops of the church. In it he enclosed a Syllabus of Errors , a compilation of eighty evils in modern society. In no uncertain terms, he declared war on socialism, rationalism, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, public schools, Bible societies, separation of church and state, and a host of other demons in the Age of Progress. He concluded by denying that “the Roman pontiff can and ought to reconcile himself and reach agreement with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization.”
