	John Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coming of an ancient Roman Catholic family, young Acton was educated at Oscott till 1848 under Dr (afterwards Cardinal) Wiseman, and then at Edinburgh where he studied privately, and at Munich where he resided in the house of Döllinger, the great scholar and subsequent leader of the Old Catholic party, whose lifelong friend he became.
		In 1869 he was raised to the peerage by Gladstone as Baron Acton; he was an intimate friend and constant correspondent of the Liberal leader, and the two men had the very highest regard for one another.
		Acton's letters led to another storm in the English Roman Catholic world, but once more it was considered prudent by the Holy See to leave him alone.
