A Saint to be?


A great man! Posted by Picasa

Blessed John Henry Newman. Vilified, sneered at, publically attacked, even now.
He's seen as a turncoat, and is suspected of being neither one thing nore the other- all this because he sought the truth.

As a result, though men put fences around the altar rail, I am as much part of the Church of Rome as I am a part of the Church of England whether His Holiness agrees with me or not. Catholicism, done properly, is a uniting. We just don't do it very well. We need another one of these John Henry Newmans to focus the Catholic cause.
