Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sequel to Catholic Emancipation, Vol. 2 of 2: The Story of the English Catholics Continued Down to the Re-Establishment of Their Hierarchy in 1850, 1840 1850 The arrival of Dr. Wiseman in England coincided with the opening of what we must look upon as a new era in our Catholic history. Father Amherst, who remembered those days, speaks of the "almost sudden change for the better which undoubtedly began to show itself about the year 1840," and declares that "the effect which the events of those days produced upon thousands of Catholics in England was like the effect of the first fine days of spring after a long and dreary winter". The indications of the improved outlook which he specifies were many. First he mentions the attitude of activity of the hereditary Catholics, as typified by "the loyal, the vigilant, the practical Charles Langdale" and the Catholic Institute. Then there was Dr. Wiseman himself, "with his large heartedness, ready and eager to engage the services of every one in the great work in which he was to take so prominent a part". He next speaks of "the enthusiastic and energetic Pugin, who was enlisting all whom he could in a crusade to revive Christian taste, and banish the spirit of Paganism, which was threatening to destroy the beauty of God´s house"; and as somewhat allied with the same movement he speaks of the crusade of the Rev. George Spencer for the recovery to England of her ancient heritage, the Catholic faith. Then, of course, there was the Oxford Movement, which was gradually attracting more and more attention, and which was destined to have such important results on the future of the Church in England; and the influx of converts of the educated classes which had already begun.
