| Cor ad cor loquitur "Heart speaks to heart" John Henry Cardinal Newman |
The Venerable John Henry Newman was born
in London, 21 February 1801, and died
Birmingham, 11 August 1890. As Vicar of St.
Mary's Oxford he exerted a profound spiritual
influence on the Church of England. Joining
the Catholic Church in 1845 he founded
Oratories of St. Philip Neri in Birmingham and
London, was the first rector of the Catholic
University in Dublin, and was made Cardinal by
Pope Leo XIII in 1879. Through his published
writings and private correspondence he
created a greater understanding of the
Catholic Church and its teachings, helping
many persons with their religious difficulties.
At his death he was praised for his
unworldliness, humility, and prayerful contact
with the invisible world. He was declared
Venerable on 22 January 1991. There is a
movement to further his process towards
canonization (beatification is the first step).
