Saint John Henry Newman was an English theologian and writer, born on February 21, 1801. He was a prominent figure in the Oxford Movement, which sought to return the Church of England to its Catholic roots. Newman converted to Roman Catholicism in 1845 and was later ordained as a priest. He became a cardinal in 1879 and is known for his influential works on faith and reason. Newman is celebrated for his contributions to theology, particularly his ideas on the development of doctrine. He was canonized as a saint by Pope Francis on October 13, 2019. His legacy continues to inspire many in both the Catholic Church and the broader Christian community.
