Returning to the use of the title it seems that it dates from the late 1830's and the Oxford Movement and was appropriated by Froude and Newman as part of their attempts to recreate and resurrect the primitive christianity of these islands which resulted from their dissatisfaction with Presbyterianism.

I don't know why, but I have never been quite convinced about Newman, though many hold him to be a very saintly man. It is odd that such an influential Catholic convert has not yet been beatified. Perhaps Rome knows more than we do? There are often very good reasons for these sorts of oversights.
