William Pope (priest)

(

)

... 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)

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)
