See also:CHALLONER, See also:RICHARD (1691-1781) , See also:English See also:Roman See also:Catholic See also:prelate, was See also:born at See also:Lewes, See also:Sussex, on the 29th of See also:September 1691. After the See also:death of his See also:father, who was a rigid See also:Dissenter, his See also:mother, See also:left in poverty, lived with some Roman Catholic families. Thus it came about that he was brought up as a Roman Catholic, chiefly at the seat of Mr See also:Holman at See also:Warkworth, See also:Northamptonshire, where the Rev. See also:John Gother, a celebrated controversialist, officiated as See also:chaplain. In 1704 he was sent to the English See also:College at See also:Douai, where he was ordained a See also:priest in 1716, took his degrees in divinity, and was appointed See also:professor in that See also:faculty. In 1730 he was sent on the English See also:mission and stationed in See also:London. The controversial See also:treatises which he published in rapid See also:succession attracted much See also:attention, particularly his Catholic See also:Christian Instructed (1737), which was prefaced by a witty reply to Dr Conyers See also:Middleton's Letters from See also:Rome, showing an Exact Conformity between Popery and Paganism. Middleton is said to have been so irritated that he endeavoured to put the penal See also:laws in force against his antagonist, who prudently withdrew from London. In 1741 Challoner was raised to the episcopal dignity at See also:Hammersmith, and nominated coadjutor with right of succession to See also:Bishop See also:Benjamin See also:Petre, See also:vicar-apostolic of the London See also:district, whom he succeeded in 1758. He resided principally in London, but was obliged to retire into the See also:country during the " No Popery " riots' of 1780. He died on the 12th of See also:January 1781, and was buried at See also:Milton, See also:Berkshire. Bishop Challoner was the author of numerous controversial and devotional See also:works, which have been frequently reprinted and translated into various See also:languages. He compiled the See also:Garden of the Soul (1740 ?), which continues to be the most popular See also:manual of devotion among English-speaking Roman Catholics, and he revised an edition of the Douai version of the Scriptures (1749-175o), correcting the See also:language and See also:orthography, which in many places had become obsolete. Of his See also:historical works the most valuable is one which was intended to be a Roman Catholic antidote to See also:Foxe's well-known See also:martyrology. It is entitled See also:Memoirs of Missionary Priests and other Catholicks of both Sexes who suffered Death or Imprisonment in See also:England on See also:account of their See also:Religion, from the See also:year 1577 till the end of the reign of See also:Charles II. (2 vols. 1741, frequently reprinted). He also published anonymously, in 1745, the lives of English, Scotch and Irish See also:saints, under the See also:title of Britannia Sancta, an interesting See also:work which has, however, been superseded by that of See also:Alban See also:- BUTLER
