St. John Henry Newman

As we honor Saint John Henry Newman’s declaration as a Doctor of the Church on November 1, join Dr. Elizabeth Klein and Dr. Christopher Bloom for a conversation on the life, conversion, and enduring legacy of this remarkable 19th-century saint. Once a rising leader within the Church of England at a time when Catholics were widely disdained, Newman’s search for truth led him to the Catholic Church. Drawn by the unity of the early Church and affirmed by the authority of the papacy, his conversion became a defining witness to faith and reason. His lifelong passion for learning inspired the founding of England’s first Oratory and sparked a legacy of intellect and holiness that continues to illuminate the Church today.
