As a result of the 1727 Act, Christianity in England (Anglican, Dissenters, Catholic, etc.) also ceased to be a "compulsory society".

It was repealed by Gladstone in 1871 but, even after, new Catholic Dioceses didn't take existing (Anglican) diocesan names. </p><p>One of these newly restored dioceses was the Diocese of Westminster, the sole Metropolitan See at that time.
