1604 The Life and Times of Cardinal Wiseman Vol. II, by Wilfrid Ward (read 20 Dec 1980) This volume had much interesting material, but I was kind of glad to finish the book. The biography is not free of defects to be expected of a book written over 80 years ago. The book tells of the storm stirred by Wiseman's appointment; of the success of Fabiola (which I read Sep 24, 1944) ;and his effort to rid himself of his Coadjutor, Errington.

1604 The Life and Times of Cardinal Wiseman Vol. I, by Wilfrid Ward (read 18 Dec 1980) Reading this volume I lived again those glorious years when England was being stirred by the conversion of Newman and others, and think again how great it would have been to be a Catholic in England in October of 1845 and have heard of Newman's reception into the Church! The whole literature of 19th century English Catholicism intrigues me. Cardinal Wiseman was born in Seville, Spain, on Aug 2, 1802--both his parents were English. His father died in 1805 and his mother then took the future cardinal to England to live. He entered Ushaw "College" at age 7! On Oct 1, 1818, Wiseman arrived in Italy. Not till 1840 was Wiseman assigned to England and of course it was in 1850 when he was made Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster. He seems to have been a very able and holy man, and I find him an impressive man--at least so far. I am enjoying this work greatly.… (meer)
