St. John Henry Newman

"He is the one Englishman of that era who upheld the ancient creed with a knowledge that only theologians possess, a Shakespearean force of style, and a fervour worthy of the saints."

St. John Henry Newman -- the 19th-century theologian, intellectual and preacher who journeyed from Anglicanism to Catholicism, powerfully shaping religious thought in both faith traditions -- will be named a doctor of the church by Pope Leo XIV.
