Life And Letters Of Ambrose Philipps De Lisle Edited And Finished By Edwin De Lisle PDF Download

Excerpt from Life and Letters of Ambrose Phillipps De Lisle, Vol. 2 of 2 No sooner had Oxford admitted Catholics to matriculation, which Newman, in October 1864, described as a measure equitable, kind, and liberal in character, than the desire of obtaining the advantages of University education was quickened in the hearts of English Catholics, for since 1845 Oxford University had become familiar to them as the intellectual mother of a new race of Catholics which under Gods grace she had given to the Church. The home of so many of their brothers in the Faith could no longer be an alien to their hearts, but was revered and loved as the giver of good gifts, of blessings intellectual and religious. The names of Oxford Colleges became familiar as household words to Catholics as the homes of a Newman, a Manning, an Oakley, a Faber or a Dalgairns. Not as yet - except perhaps Oriel - places of pilgrimage, they may become so in the fulness of time to future generations of Catholics. At all events the National Universities have become hallowed once more; their ancient memories revived; the sanctity of the founders of many a college recalled. It is perhaps scarcely too much to say that these ancient seats of learning, erected by our forefathers, were reconsecrated as it were and restored to Catholics in our day by the wisdom, justice, and benevolence of the Supreme Pontiff, the enlightened Leo XIII.
