At great cost to himself he submitted to Rome when he saw the impossibility of making the C of E Catholic -a discovery which is only now dawning on many of us who have struggled over many years to get the C of E to live up to its claim (to be part of the One, Holy Catholic & Apostolic Church). You can be inspired by a Fr Damien, or a John Bradburne, and still find in Newman rather more than someone who "wrote a few books".Edwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213363119774322096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318946601530749054.post-63368182381296041132010-11-29T13:09:31.926+00:002010-11-29T13:09:31.926+00:00To be honest John Henry Newman doesn't inspire...To be honest John Henry Newman doesn't inspire me.<br /><br />He hasn't done anything incredibly saintly in my opinion. All he's really done is wrote a few books.<br /><br />I would much rather have Benedict bring someone like John Bradburne who became a pilgrim, caring for lepers and living off the land. That's what I call saintly and inspiring!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318946601530749054.post-34550093382695649312010-11-27T10:58:17.843+00:002010-11-27T10:58:17.843+00:00Many thanks!
