I (pictured), A.N. Wilson (left) and with partner Katherine in 1983, when I first became acquainted with Katherine as an undergraduate at Oxford. She was a Fellow of Somerville College, ten years older than me. At 19, I was vaguely considering becoming a Catholic priest and that summer had arranged a stay at the Birmingham Oratory, a Catholic priest community established in 1849 by John Henry Newman. When I told Katherine that this was a problem, she rang the Brum phone number of her mother. When you leave the Oratory, you may ring me if you like.' The Birmingham Oratory is evidently thriving today. In 1970, it did not appear to be on its last legs.
