Book Description
This book will look at the lives of ten men who have been appointed by Rome to head the Roman Catholic Church in the United Kingdom. The biographies will be set against the background of four main topics: 1. in 1850 RCs were still a marginalized community, an uneasy amalgam of recusant families Irish immigrants and distinguished converts. The challenge was to create an indigenous Catholicism. 2. The Church in Britain had to contend with a constituency which tended to be poor and illiterate. Part of the Archbishops` drive was to boost education and thus drive Catholics out of poverty 3. Relations with the Church of England and the wish to preserve Catholic identity. 4. Catholics were and are increasingly a significant identifiable section of British society. The Archbishops of Westminster has attempted to express their voice in the national debates- whether successfully or not is an issue discussed in this fascinating book. The present Catholic hierarchy have often taken issue with the diktats coming from Rome on many issues - liturgy, divorced and remarried Catholics, the ordination of married men. If Rome appoints a man who is more inclined to kowtow to Rome this could be bad news for liberal minded progressive people of any religious belief or none. It is generally agreed that Hume outshone Carey as a national spiritual leader. How will the new appointment rate with the Chief Rabbi and Rowan Williams also in contention.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster and the New Hierarchy The time is come when both peace and justice require that a complete and fair explanation be rendered to the country, touching the true nature of the new form given to the Roman Catholic Church in England and an answer to the arguments and invectives which in an uninterrupted torrent have for some time past been addressed to the national feelings and prejudices - raising apprehensions in the mind of impartial and thoughtful men, that the justice Of public Opinion may be overwhelmed and suppressed, and a bitter and lamentable division created between the Protestant and the Catholic subjects of the Crown.
