Synopsis

Excerpt from William Cardinal Allen: Founder of the Seminaries

But, in spite Of political mistakes, the life Seems to become greater the more closely it is studied. Allen was a man Of one idea; that idea was the conversion of England. For that he laboured unceasingly, for that he endured voluntary exile, poverty, trials, calumnies, persecution, for that he undertook the great work with which his name will be for ever associated, for that he lived, and with that hope in his heart, he died. It is easy for us now - a-days to point out his mistakes, it is not SO easy to follow his glorious example.

The writer has Often found to his astonish ment and sorrow how little is known among English Catholics of this great man. He trusts that this Short and inadequate bio graphy will at least serve to interest them in his life and work. It may also, perhaps, be Of service to some who are still outside the Visible unity of the Church for which Allen worked and suffered so much.
