Born in London, May, 1838; died in London, 30 May, 1899; fourth son of Francis
Rivington, a well-known London publisher. He was educated at Highgate Grammar
School and Magdalen College, Oxford. After his ordination as an Anglican
clergyman in 1862, he became curate of St. Clement's, Oxford, leaving there in
1867 for All Saint's, Margaret Street, London, where he attracted attention as a
preacher. Failing in his efforts to found a religious community at Stoke,
Staffordshire, he joined the Cowley Fathers and became superior of their house
in Bombay. Becoming unsettled in his religious convictions he visited Rome,
where in 1888 he was received into the Church. His ordination to the priesthood
took place on 21 Sept., 1889. He returned to England and settled in Bayswater,
not undertaking any parochial work, but devoting himself to preaching, hearing
confessions, and writing controversial works. The chief of these were
"Authority; or a plain reason for joint the Church of Rome" (1888); "Dust" a
letter to the Rev. C. Gore on his book "Roman Catholic Claims" (1888);
"Dependence; or the insecurity of the Anglican Position" (1889) "The Primitive
Church and the See of Peter" (1894); "Anglican Fallacies; or Lord Halifax on
Reunion" (1895); "Rome and England or Ecclesiastical Continuity" (1897); "The
Roman Primacy A.D. 430-51" (1899) which was practically a new edition of "The
Primitive Church and the See of Peter". He also wrote several pamphlets and
brought out a new edition of Bishop Milner's "End of Religious Controversy".
This was for the Catholic Truth Society of which he was long a member of the
committee, and a prominent figure at the annual conferences so successfully
organized by the society. His pamphlets include "Primitive and Roman" (1894) a
reply to the notice of his book "The Primitive Church" in the "Church Quarterly
Review"; "The Conversion of Cardinal Newman" (1896) and "Tekel" (1897) in which
he criticized the reply of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to Pope Leo
XIII after the condemnation of Anglican Orders. In 1897 the pope conferred on
him an honorary doctorate in divinity. During his latter years he lived near St.
James church, Spanish Place, devoting himself to his literary work and the
instruction of inquirers in the Catholic Faith.
