papism
Roman Catholic adherence
Papism is a derogatory term for Roman Catholicism, emphasizing allegiance to the Pope as a foreign authority.
The word implies that Catholics place loyalty to Rome above their own nation or sovereign.
It appears mainly in historical Protestant polemics: The pamphlet warned against the creeping papism of the Anglican clergy.
Now rare and old-fashioned.
