The Rambler (Catholic periodical)

The Rambler was a Catholic periodical founded by liberal converts to Catholicism and closely associated with the names of Lord Acton, Richard Simpson and, for a brief period, John Henry Newman. It was one of the leading English Catholic magazines of the nineteenth century.[1]

It represented a phase of convert thought which was in opposition to the extreme ultramontanism of William George Ward and Henry Edward Manning and eventually led to increasing friction with the leading members of the newly established English hierarchy.[2]
