David Warren–a very good conservative columnist based in Canada and a recent convert–has some great news if it’s true. Standard provisos for rumorish sorts of things obtain, but this was published in a major Canadian newspaper this past Sunday, so it’s perhaps a bit more reliable than most:
“We learn, from some Vatican insider or other, that John Henry Newman may be beatified under the reign of the present Pope. This could be very significant, to Catholics, and beyond them, to the whole English-speaking world”
The rest can be found here
St. Louis-Marie de Montfort,
Pope St. Pius X,
St. Joseph,
St. Ambrose of Milan,
St. Thomas Aquinas,
St. Francis (and St. Clare),
St. Catherine of Siena,
St. Alphonsus Ligouri,
St. John Chrysostom,
As I already mentioned to Iosephus, I move that he be declared the patron of converts. I think that would be quite appropriate.
I agree! He definitely is the pride for all converts here. English people said and acted as if Newman had been already a saint when his name and picture were all over the newspapers. My church, the Oratory, changed the front bit of the entrance just now, and put his torso up. Another great saint we will have when he becomes canonised.
