Then went to Balliol College, Oxford University, where his best friend was the future Prime Minister William Gladstone Y.. Manning entered the college debating society, which they in turn led Gladstone. Both were devout Anglican. In those years, Gladstone wanted to become a priest, and Manning had dreamed of a career politician, but in the future, their roles have changed: Gladstone became a member of Parliament, while Manning studied theology and began teaching at Merton College, Oxford University. In 1833, became a priest, he was coming, and married Caroline Sargent, getting a W. Wilberforce, the future Bishop of Oxford. Four years later, Manning's wife died, leaving no children.

High Church (Anglican Church in the direction tending to Catholicism), and just about had to become a bishop. However, when the authorities of the Anglican Church did not adopt a priest because of the unorthodoxy of his views, Manning finally lost faith in Anglicanism. He entered the Jesuit community in London and June 16, 1851 celebrated his first Mass. While studying in Rome, Manning won the position of Pope Pius IX. He founded the Congregation of St. wafers. Charles in Beysuotere and gathered around him a lot konvertitov, became chief adviser to Cardinal Wiseman, the first archbishop of Westminster (the Primate of the Roman Catholic Church in England). During the Crimean War, he had a spiritual and material support to the British nurse Florence Nightingale, sending her to help a group of Irish Sisters of Mercy. Despite fierce resistance from the Catholic conservatives who predicted successor Uayzmanu Erringtona archbishop, the Pope raised Manning (a former provost, ie. rector of the cathedral) to the rank of archbishop of Westminster (1865). Cardinal Manning was only in 1875, which was associated with a hostile attitude towards him after the Vatican, where he headed ultramontane parties with the dogma of papal infallibility (1870).

He supported the Union of Agricultural Workers and took an active part in the London dockers' strike (1889).
