[mdgspencer]

Newman was a Catholic of epic proportions. as this expert shows. Persecuted both before and after he became a Catholic, in a society prejudiced against Catholicism, Newman was a thinker and writer of great power, who at last was made a Cardinal. This expert shows something about the dimensions of John Henry Newman’s greatness. The fact that this article was put out in Australia reflects the world-wide influence and reputation of Newman.
