John Henry Newman stands as a giant in the fields of theology, philosophy, and education. Influencing many academic and spiritual disciplines, Newman's writings and his lifelong search for religious truth continue to inspire scholars throughout the world.
John Henry Newman began his religious career as a 19th-century Fellow of Oriel College and as the Vicar of St. Mary the Virgin Church in Oxford, England. At the age of 44, he converted to Roman Catholicism and founded the first English-speaking Oratory of St. Philip Neri in Birmingham, England. He was made a cardinal of the Catholic Church in 1879. His many scholarly works were a significant force that helped shape religious thought not only in his own time, but also throughout the 20th century.
Newman's reform-minded philosophy and theology was so influential that he became known as the "Invisible Father" of the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965).
This is the story about Saint Newman and more specifically, the story about the miracle tied to him that put him up for canonization as told by the priest Newman is responsible for healing.
