Excerpt from The Oxford Movement
The Oxford Movement, or the Tractarian Movement as it is sometimes called, is generally regarded as a revival within the Church of England of the Catholic doctrines always retained in its Prayer Book and maintained in the seventeenth century by an influential party. Such doctrines as the Apostolic succession, the priesthood, the sacramental system, the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist had in the eighteenth century become less and less prominent, and were widely forgotten. From this point of view the Movement was the beginning of the important development which our own day has witnessed, of ritualism and of Anglo-Catholicism. But the Movement also had kinship and common parentage with other religious movements both in England and on the Continent.
