A Special Recording by The Sixteen

I'm in awe of new compositions by Sir James MacMillan and Will Todd of St. John Henry Newman's "God has created me to do Him some definite service,” performed today by @TheSixteen. My heart both sings and aches, as Newman's surely did! Recording here: https://t.co/VbaDuy7pra

Doctor of... the Patriarchate of Rome

Naming "Doctors of the Church" is part of Rome's pretensions which should be dropped for the sake of ecumenism and reconciliation.

While Newman has been declared a saint of the Catholic Church, the question remains as to whether he will be declared a Doctor of the Church:https://t.co/tdCG0IgQKg

Pope Francis may say he is impatient, but he doesn't have the theological skill to advance the dialogue with the other Apostolic Churches, nor does he have a plan for Protestants, especially those who are more traditional. Is he willing to explicitly set limits to what constitutes "legitimate diversity"? I doubt it.

Pope Francis marked the 25th anniversary of “Ut Unum Sint” (“That all may be one,”) by reaffirming the church’s “irrevocable” commitment to work for Christian unity among the world’s roughly 2.3 billion Christians. @gerryorome reports:https://t.co/iH9SBi5RdV

An Excerpt from Fiedrowicz’s Book

Something not included with Krwasniewski's recommendation over at Rorate Caeli, a link to which I posted here.

Reception by the Faithful and All That

CWR Dispatch: John Henry Newman in Full by Bishop Robert Barron
Buffeting from both sides made almost the whole of Newman’s life difficult, and it is not hard to see why he saw much of his career as a Sisyphean exercise in futility.

Newman was not of the "left" or "liberal" -- he merely sought to reclaim the Latin churches from clericalism, a problem which still infects the patriarchate of Rome now. That some did not understand this and could only put it in political terms of the age shows how blind they were to the problem and their slavish adherence to their notion of hierarchy.

We honor the memory of John Henry Newman, this newest of God’s saints, by imitating his courage, and the conviction that underwrote it.

CWR: St. Newman’s Idea of a Catholic University: An Alma Mater, not a foundry, mint, or treadmill by Tracey Rowland

As we celebrate the canonization of John Henry Newman this week and re-read his publications on this subject, the gulf between his vision of Catholic education and what we currently have is stark.

Today's Canonizations in Rome

I bet María Teresa Chiramel Mankidiyan was not canonized separately by the Syro-Malabar hiearchy, who will not act to have a liturgical memorial for her now that Rome has issued its decree. More evidence of Latinization here:

Fr. Ian Ker Joins the Bandwagon

Not unexpected.

Actually, for now just to the patriarchate of Rome.

But you can bet the decree of canonization will maintain Roman pretensions.

Too Soon?
