176-622: A debater at the Oxford Union , where William Ewart Gladstone succeeded him as president in 1830.

However, this proved to be no impediment to his academic career. Manning matriculated at Balliol College, Oxford , in 1827, studying Classics , and soon made his mark as

308-740: A grave heresy, contradicting the clear tradition of the Christian Church from the Church Fathers on. That a civil and secular court had the power to force the Church of England to accept someone with such an unorthodox opinion proved to him that, far from being a divinely created institution, that the Anglican Communion was a man-made creation and, even worse in his views, still completely controlled by Her Majesty's Government . The following year, on 6 April 1851, Manning

352-619: A halt. However, in 1947 the organisation of pilgrimage resumed with the first to Lourdes in that year.

528-400: A profound influence. Manning did not, however, support enfranchising women . In 1871, at St. Mary Moorfield , he said he hoped English womanhood would "resist by a stern moral refusal, the immodesty which would thrust women from their private life of dignity and supremacy into the public conflicts of men." In 1883, Manning published The Eternal Priesthood , his most influential work. In
