I think that when I was a pre-V2 child Compline and Benediction were in one sequence.

Evening Prayer is longer and earlier than Compline.
OSB I never heard of Compline being prayed publicly in a Catholic Church until recent years.

My only experience of it was on a one week course run by the Cell Movement. A priest, Father Clifford Howell, was oh, so daring! He said Mass facing us (using an improvised altar) just once, and every evening he led us in Compline. Father Howell told us such practises would be the norm in our lifetime. That was about 1958.

Catholic and proud of it!
Talk to God before Mass. Talk to each other afterwards
