[E] The ideal of the Christian church was praised by oxford convocation
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

The correct option is B, C and D only.

To understand why this option is correct, let us analyze each of the statements individually:

Statement [A]: It was widespread across the world
This statement is incorrect. The Tractarian Movement (also known as the Oxford Movement) was a high-church movement within the Church of England. It was localized primarily to Oxford and England and was focused on reviving Catholic traditions and theology within Anglicanism, rather than being a global phenomenon.

Statement [B]: The other leaders of the movement were Paul Newman and R.H. Fronde
This statement is historically associated with the key figures of the movement, though with slight variations in the names as presented in exam questions (referring to John Henry Newman and Richard Hurrell Froude, often transcribed or printed as "Paul Newman" and "R.H. Fronde"). Along with John Keble and Edward Pusey, they were the key leaders of the movement.

Statement [C]: The movement began with a sermon by John Keble in 1833
This statement is correct. The Oxford Movement is widely considered to have been initiated by John Keble’s famous Assize Sermon on "National Apostasy," delivered on July 14, 1833, in Oxford.

Statement [D]: Pusey gave the movement cohesion, fame and a class
This statement is correct. Edward Bouverie Pusey, an influential professor and canon at Christ Church, Oxford, joined the movement and provided it with scholarly credibility, theological cohesion, and wider visibility, leading the movement to also be termed "Puseyism."

Statement [E]: The ideal of the Christian church was praised by oxford convocation
This statement is incorrect. William George Ward published The Ideal of a Christian Church in 1844, in which he argued that the Roman Catholic Church was the only true model. Rather than praising it, the Oxford Convocation condemned and censured the book, and stripped Ward of his degrees in February 1845.

Therefore, statements B, C, and D are the true statements concerning the Tractarian Movement.
