George Errington letters, 1858-1861.

This collection consists of ten handwritten letters dating between 1858 and 1861. The letters concern the changes in church and college government brought about by the Catholic Church's reconstruction of the Church in England as headed by Cardinal Wiseman. These letters refer to the three provincial Synods held at Oscott between 1852 and 1859 and the subsequent revising of the constitutions and legislature of the vicars Apostolic. The collection refers mainly to the controversy regarding clerical or secular control over Westminster and other colleges and seminaries, and if the programs would be administered by the priests or by the Oblates. These letters provide an intimate look at the political maneuverings within the Catholic Church at the time.
