Excerpt from Fifty Years of Catholic Life and Social Progress, Vol. 1: Under Cardinals Wiseman, Manning, Vaughan and Newman, With an Account of the Various Personages, Events and Movements During the Era The wonderful progress of the Catholic Church in England during the past fifty years might best be appreciated by some octogenarian long buried in the country, whose memory goes back to the time when the Church was, as it were, in the desert. One significant little incident might strike him when, on journeying to the extremity of the Brompton Road, he would find his omnibus halt, and the conductor call out, "The Oratory!" Entering the spacious, stately fane, he would note a crowd of admiring sightseers promenading round, gazing at its altars, statues, and choice marbles - much as the English are wont to do in the Madeleine at Paris.
