John Henry Newman and the Roman Oratory1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  16 September 2015

Extract

[It is with great regret the journal records the death, in his ninetieth year, of the longest-serving Vice-President of the Catholic Record Society. Bishop Brian Foley, D.Litt., became Vice-President in 1978 after fourteen years as President. Throughout his priestly life he was a keen supporter of the historical enterprize of the CRS. His most recent book was a study of the Jubilee Years from 1300 to 1975, published in anticipation of the Great Jubilee of the millennium. In tribute to Bishop Foley, Recusant History reissues an article by him that first appeared in the Venerabile in 1989 (vol.29, no.3). Acknowledgement is made to the Rector of the English College in Rome and to the editor of the Venerabile for their kind permission to reproduce the article in its original form.]

N.B. The Archivio Vallicelliano is at present being re-ordered and not all papers are accessible. This article owes much to earlier writings especially to those of Carlo Gasbarri and, to a lesser degree, A. Grossi Biondi’s book Delia fondazione dell’ Oratorio in Inghilterra a copy of which is in the Bibl. Capitolina bound up with Fr. Faber’s The Spirit and Genius of St. Philip Neri.
