It was the study of the Fathers of the Church that brought Newman into the Church. It was a realisation that Dogma and not sentiment should be the determinant factor. Where is this uniquely Newmanian spirit being promoted? We need an Apostolic Constitution on the study of the Fathers to match Proventissimus Deus, to speak of contemporary things... and the contrast is interesting in itself. We've had more than a century of messing about with the Scriptures (and the Liturgy). Now it's time to mess about with the Fathers - if you can!Lead Kindly Lightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-66486717049466989012011-06-04T13:15:42.841+01:002011-06-04T13:15:42.841+01:00It is very hopeful to see the growth of new Congre...It is very hopeful to see the growth of new Congregations, especially in the University where Blessed John Newman found his Faith. I have visited England many times on Peregrination Pro Christo and I know the great difficulties of indifference and irreligion that face the Church there. Oxford is a real gap of danger that must be manned by souls on fire for the Lord. I pray that this mission will bear much fruit of souls.Virgo Potenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11671675001264119757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-50991753209112175392011-06-04T01:33:31.124+01:002011-06-04T01:33:31.124+01:00Cant say i get much of what ur saying here but the...Cant say i get much of what ur saying here but the shotz of the building are just blowing me away.

Your coverage of the beatification and aftermath has been well presented. This is a particularly beautiful church. The shrine is obviously small but somehow it is better than destroying another shrine to create a larger one. Do you take these photos yourself or is there a particular site that you found them on? I am really excited by the Ordinariate project. I think this is also a part of the aftermath of the beatification of Newman. What we need to find are devotions that are particular to Newman and not merely adapting other devotions. Do you know if there was a particular devotion that he favoured above all others or maybe a spiritual act that he used? If Newman was so associated with Oxford why couldnt he have returned to Oxford to found a Catholic hall instead of wasting his energies in Ireland. On the other hand, if he had done so perhaps his influence would have been restricted. What do you think?Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422232126454563383noreply@blogger.com
