 The Catholic Encyclopedia - Frederick William Faber   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Of Huguenot descent Faber was divided in his university days between a tendency to Calvinism, in the form of individual pietism, and the Church theory then being advocated by Newman.
In 1847 Faber was ordained priest and with his zealous community, now forty in number, converted the whole parish, except "the parson, the pew-opener, and two drunken men." In 1848, Newman arrived from Rome with his new congregation of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri, and established himself at Old Oscott, Birmingham, then renamed Maryvale.
The Oratory removed to South Kensington in 1854, and there Faber spent the remaining nine years of his life, occupied primarily in establishing his community on the strict observance of St. Philip's Institute, being convinced that fidelity to its Roman model was its one vital principle.

I suggest that the anthropomorphic god-idea is not a harmless infirmity of human thought, but a very noxious fallacy, which is largely responsible for the calamities the world is at present enduring.
The action of a shepherd in keeping sheep, performed as I have said in his kind, is as good a work before God as is the action of a judge in giving sentence, or of a magistrate in ruling, or a minister in preaching.
God requireth not a uniformity of religion to be enacted in any civil state; which enforced uniformity (sooner or later) is the greatest occasion of civil war, ravishing of conscience, persecution of Christ Jesus in his servants, and of the hypocrisy and destruction of millions of souls.

 Review: Wordsworth and the Victorians   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Gill demonstrates how Charles Macready, William Maynard Gomm, and John Stuart Mill all responded to Wordsworth's spirituality and humanism and points out that by 1844 there was a pamphlet circulating that was titled "Contributions of William Wordsworth to the Revival of Catholic Truths," which was mostly a selection of quotations from The Excursion (74).
However, when Faber made the move from Anglicanism to Catholicism and sent a note to the elder man in November, 1845, Wordsworth felt betrayed and refused to continue the relationship further.
He presented abstracts from Dorothy Wordsworth's journals, excising passages he believed would not be prudent for the public to see, such as her description of the ring- exchange on Wordsworth's wedding day.
