About the author

Cardinal Henry Edward Manning, cardinal archbishop of Westminster, was born at Hertfordshire, England in 1808. During his early years he befriended Charles and Christopher Wordsworth and attended Harrow School under Doctor Charles Butler. Originally an Anglican deacon, Henry Manning realized the man-made status of the Anglican Church when the Privy Council denied the objective effect of the sacraments. Just two months after being received into Catholicism, he became a priest in 1851 and quickly rose in influence, instituted as an archbishop in 1865. He was a very strong supporter of papal infallibility and went on to promote a modern Catholic view of social justice. He is the author of many books. Cardinal Manning died in 1892.
