Cisalpinism
Cisalpinism was a movement among English Roman Catholics arguing that Catholicism, while respecting the supreme authority of the Pope, should nonetheless not be based on his dominance. This traditionalist but non-authoritarian view of Catholicism was common in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and stressed the English as well as the Roman dimension to the Roman Catholic Church in England. In particular, this view held that allegiance to the Crown was not incompatible with allegiance to the Pope. Cisalpinism sought accommodation of the English Roman Catholic Church within the Protestant State in the 18th century, when the Penal Laws persecuting the Catholic Church were still in place. Thirty Catholic laymen met in 1782 to elect a "Catholic Committee" of five. Although it looked like a way to safeguard the English Catholic population, Bishop Charles Walmesley, the Vicar Apostolic of the west of England, thought Cisalpinism would mean a new oath of allegiance that would "exclude the Pope's spiritual jurisdiction" and "diminish our dependence in spirituals on the Church in Rome, and by degrees to shake it off entirely; likewise to take off the abstinence of Saturday, to reduce Lent to a fortnight before Easter, and to have the Liturgy in English."
