 | | John Henry Newman, the influential English theologian and author, was a leader of the Oxford Movement in the Anglican church who converted to Roman Catholicism in 1845 and whose writings include his famous spiritual autobiography, Apologia pro Vita Sua. |
 | | Interestingly, in the first year of his reign, Leo XIII would make Newman a cardinal. |
 | | The average length of life of a man of 68 in England, according to the Tables which I happen to have, is ten more years – and ten years certainly is a considerable time – but these things are in God’s Hands, who loves and cares for Holy Church, far better than we can. |
