Pope Leo XIV recently announced that St. John Henry Newman (1801â 1890) will soon be declared a Doctor of the Church. Cardinal Newmanâ (TM)s motto, Cor ad cor loquitur (Heart speaks to heart), attests not only to his relationship with the Lord but also to the power of the words of his heart in speaking to yours.

Newman remains one of the most influential theologians and writers since the nineteenth century. Though considered one of the progenitors of Vatican II, his thinking was classical, with a deep respect for tradition, opening new avenues within spirituality that have proven to be most prophetic and fruitful.

In this timely work, Msgr. Laurence Spiteri traces Newmanâ (TM)s upbringing in the Church of England, his brief conversion to Calvinistic Christianity, and the literary influences that led him to his discovery of the Roman Catholic Church.

Spiteri details Newmanâ (TM)s priesthood in the Anglican Church and the factions that set the stage for the liberalism he fought by organizing the Oxford Movement. Newmanâ (TM)s relentless pursuit and defense of the truth remained constant despite media and personal attacks. You will see his genius in balancing faith and reason, his quest for authentic ecumenism, his guidance as a teacher, and his excellence as a preacher. Moreover, you will learn how he spent himself tirelessly as a Catholic priest in the Oratorians (of St. Philip Neri) for decades.
