Arthur Featherstone Marshall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arthur Featherstone Marshall was an English Anglican priest who converted to Roman Catholicism in the 1860s. His elder brother was the fellow Roman Catholic convert and controversialist Thomas William Marshall (1818-1877).

He subsequently published satirical (mostly pseudonymous) material on the Anglican principle of comprehensiveness and a trenchant criticism of opponents of the First Vatican Council, especially Old Catholics. Specific Anglican tenets he singles out for attack include the Branch theory and the sacramental validity of Anglican ministry and holy orders.
