| | Fenian movement - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Fenian movement |
| | The Fenian movement was initiated by James O'Mahony, Michael Doheny (1805–1863), and James Stephens. | | | Fenianism was opposed by the Catholic Church, but in 1867 the deaths of the Manchester Martyrs, which aroused great popular sympathy, resulted in partial reconciliation as the Catholic Church began to graft to the nationalist movement. | | | Fenian ideology revolved around the notion of England as an evil power, a mystic commitment to Ireland, and a belief that an independent Irish republic was morally superior to Britain. |

| | George Moore, 1852-1933 |
| | It was apparently before the 1867 Fenian Rising that Moore had himself taken the Fenian oath from its chief, James Stephens, a risky step for any man, and especially for a landlord and politician. | | | Moore had worked with Lavelle earlier in political causes, as both were protégés of Archbishop John MacHale, the most nationalist of prelates, and enemies of Cardinal Paul Cullen, who had tried to keep the priests out of independent opposition politics and to bring the Irish Church under the control of Rome. | | | The Fenians were an armed revolutionary organisation that grew up among the Irish immigrant communities of the United States following the collapse of the Young Ireland movement in the 1840s. |

| | Under the leadership of James Stephens, head of the Fenians, the country was organized into circles composed of a Sergeant and twenty-five men, a plan eminently fitted to the Irish character because it reduces to a minimum the possibility of betrayal. | | | This party under different names: 'White Boys', 'Men of '98', 'United Irishmen', 'Invincibles', 'Fenians', has always refused to be connected with either the English political parties or the Nationalist parliamentarians. | | | The Invincibles blow up the prison at Clerkenwell, snatch their friends from the hands of the police at Manchester and kill the escort, stab to death in broad daylight the English Chief Secretary, Lord Frederick Cavendish, and the Under-secretary, Burke, in Phoenix Park, Dublin. |
