Wiseman, Nicholas Patrick Stephen
Wiseman, Nicholas Patrick Stephen (1802–65), cardinal. In 1828 he became rector of the English College, Rome. He returned to England in 1840 as president of Oscott College, Birmingham, and Coadjutor to the Vicar Apostolic of the newly-created Central District. When the hierarchy was restored in England and Wales in 1850, he became first Abp. of Westminster and a cardinal. He was criticized by RCs as well as Protestants for his Ultramontane views and his attempts to impose Italian devotional practices in England, but he did much to organize and advance the cause of the RC Church in the country. He held three provincial synods, encouraged RCs to support parliamentary candidates disposed to remove disabilities from RCs, and tried to foster a genuine Catholic culture in England.
