ENGLISHHIERARCHY'S 80thBIRTHDAY

Eightyyearsago,PopePiusIX.decreedthat"theHierarchyofBishops ordinary,takingtheirtitlesfromtheir sees,shall,accordingtotheusualrules oftheChurch,againflourishinthe KingdomofEngland."

So,onSeptember29,1850,theEnglishHierarchy,whichhadbecomeextinctwiththedeathinRomeofthe lastoftheMarianBishops,wasre-established,andtheChurchinEngland formallyendedthelongchapterofher persecution.

Onthatday,theMetropolitanseeof Westminsterandtwelvesuffragansees cameintobeing.Thetwelvewere: Beverley.Birmingham,Clifton,Hexham,Liverpool.NewportandMenevia, Northampton,Nottingham,Plymouth, Salford,Shrewsbury,andSouthwark.

Sincethen,BeverleyhasbeendividedintothediocesesofLeedsandMiddlesbrough,Newport,andMeneviahas developedintotheMetropolitanseeof CardiffandthedioceseofMenevia, BirminghamandLiverpoolhavebecomeMetropolitansees,thediocese ofBrentwoodhasgrownoutofWestminster,and,themostrecentchange ofall,thedioceseofLancasterhas beencreatedoutofLiverpool.

Bishopswerealreadywaitingtotake possessionoftheseesin1850.

Dr.Wiseman(afterwardsCardinal), thenVicarApostolicoftheLondon District,becamethefirstArchbishop ofWestminster.Dr.Ullathorne, OS.B.,thelearnedVicarApostolicof theCentralDistrict,whoinhis youngerdayshadservedasaseaman beforethemast,tookchargeofBirmingham.AnotherBenedictine,Dr. ThomasBrown,VicarApostolicofthe WelshDistrict,wastranslatedtoNewportandMenevia, AFranciscan,Dr.JosephHendren, VicarApostolicoftheWesternDistrict,wenttoClifton.Dr.William Hogarth,VicarApostolicoftheNorth. ernDistrict,wenttoHexham.Dr. JohnBriggs,VicarApostolicofthe Yorkshire

ThelastoftheVicarsApostolicin Englandisstilllivingandrulingadiocese.HeisDr.Mostyn,Archbishop ofCardiff,whowasconsecratedas VicarApostolicofWalesin1895.
