Sermons. [Vol. I.]

Henry Edward Manning (1808–1892) was an English churchman who became Archbishop of Westminster and a cardinal. Converted to Rome in 1851 after the Gorham judgment shook his confidence in the Church of England, he led English Catholicism for a generation, championing papal infallibility at Vatican I and social causes at home. Our library carries several volumes of his Sermons and his Grounds of Faith lectures.
