He was consecrated on June 8, 1840, chapel of the English College, Rome, by Cardinal Giacomo Filippo Fransoni, assisted by Jean Théodore Laurent, titular bishop of Chersoneso and by James Kyle, titular bishop of Germanicia. <BR/><BR/>Pius IX became Pope in 1846 so I presume the relief shows something other than Wiseman's consecration, perhaps his elevation to the Sacred College in 1850?Lover of Futilityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877073439147939412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115875609078917723.post-23139979998636358932007-02-16T20:45:00.000+00:002007-02-16T20:45:00.000+00:00Fascinating post Monsignor!
