Article history

)

... that Anglican deacon William Pope was a follower of John Henry Newman and, like him, converted to Roman Catholic priesthood?

Source: Wharfedale & Airedale Observer (1905): "Canon Pope ... a disciple of Newman, and survivor of that band of men and women who were led by Newman's influence into communion with the Church of Rome".

Substantial detailed interesting bio, on plenty of good sources, offline souces accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The hook works for me. In the article, I wonder if his brother needs a title, - we are talking young age not what he'd achieve later. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:56, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the review. You are right, and I have defrocked Father John. He became a Jesuit priest and was never Father John, and he was almost certainly renamed Father Xavier in the tradition of Jesuits (but can't prove that yet). Storye book (talk) 08:20, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Clarification needed

Hello, in the section "Mission work" the sentence "He was appointed to Yarm in Teeside (which was then in Beverley)" needs clarification. As the links point to areas it does not make sense as Teesside is nowhere near Beverley. I assume it is meant to be a church or ecclesiastical position that it refers to.

Thank you, Keith, for the heads up on that one. It appears, as far as I can see, that the former RC Diocese of Beverley extended just past the edge of the North Riding, so as to just include Yarm. I haven't checked the maps - I have only provided the quote from the source, and added a link to the old diocese. I have been careful not to link Yarm, in case I am wrong, i.e. in case there are two Yarms? Hope that works now? Storye book (talk) 18:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, that works now. Keith D (talk) 10:10, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
