Excerpt from Historical Notes on English Catholic Missions In the following pages some details have been given of the Catholic Missions in this country from the breach with the Apostolic See to our own times. The story of the English Catholics, or the 'Romance of the Recusants' as it has been happily termed, during that long period of trial and proscription forms as interesting a narrative as any to be found in the pages of modern history. The downfall of the great and ancient Church in these realms after the centuries of her flourishing existence is an event which Newman, in a passage of the noblest eloquence, has termed almost a miracle. Tremendous, however, as was the overthrow, the rise of the ancient faith - kept alive here and there in the ancient halls and lowly cottages of the land - from generations of political oppression and social ostracism, is no less a wondrous proof of 'the vivifying principle' of the 'old religion' and God's protecting power.
