This article studies the transnational expiation movement, or Confraternity of Divine Expiation, that was promoted in Latin America by English priest Kenelm Vaughan c. 1880-1910. It argues that Vaughan's movement represented an unusual amalgam of British imperialism and ultramontane piety, albeit with significant Latin American appropriations. Essentially, Vaughan proposed to funnel Latin American funds and prayers heavenward through the Spanish-American chapel to the Blessed Sacrament that he would build at Westminster Cathedral, thus portraying London as the world's Catholic metropolis. To do this, Vaughan traversed Latin America, recruiting presidents and prelates into his Confraternity and promoting a catholicized version of English imperial claims. The article seeks to contribute to knowledge of Victorian/Edwardian English Catholic culture, Latin American penitential practice and elite diplomacy, and Catholic concepts of nineteenth-century empire.
