==End of Newman's involvement and receptions into Roman Catholicism== {{Conservatism UK|Ideologies}} One of the principal writers and proponents of Tractarianism was [[John Henry Newman]], a popular Oxford priest who, after writing his final tract, "[[Tract 90]]", became convinced that the [[Branch Theory]] was inadequate. Concerns that Tractarianism was disguised Roman Catholicism were not unfounded; Newman believed that the Roman and Anglican churches were wholly compatible. He was received into the Roman Catholic Church in 1845 and was ordained a Catholic priest two years later.<ref>{{cite book |editor1-last=Murray |editor1-first=Placid |title=Newman the Oratorian |date=2004 |publisher=Gracewing |isbn=0-85244-632-2 |pages=53β54 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2tZ2pO4Wij8C}}</ref> He later became a cardinal (but not a bishop). Writing on the end of Tractarianism as a movement, Newman stated:<blockquote>I saw indeed clearly that my place in the Movement was lost; public confidence was at an end; my occupation was gone. It was simply an impossibility that I could say any thing henceforth to good effect, when I had been posted up by the marshal on the buttery-hatch of every College of my University, after the manner of discommoned pastry-cooks, and when in every part of the country and every class of society, through every organ and opportunity of opinion, in newspapers, in periodicals, at meetings, in pulpits, at dinner-tables, in coffee-rooms, in railway carriages, I was denounced as a traitor who had laid his train and was detected in the very act of firing it against the time-honoured Establishment.<ref>{{Cite web|title = The Tractarian Movement|url = http://victorianweb.org/religion/herb7.html|website = victorianweb.org|access-date = 2015-12-07}}</ref></blockquote> Newman was one of a number of Anglican clergy who were received into the Roman Catholic Church during the 1840s who were either members of, or were influenced by, Tractarianism.
