James Bradley is Assistant Professor of Canon Law at The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC, and a Priest of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham.
Two hundred years ago, on 13 June 1824, the young Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, who today the Church celebrates as a saint, made his way down the High and St. Aldate’s with his surplice and his MA hood, to be made a deacon of the Church of England in Christ Church Cathedral, the former medieval nunnery and shrine to St. Frideswide until Thomas Wolsey chose it to become Cardinal College in 1525.
