Dear Friend,



Have you heard about the Anglican clergyman who tried to undermine the Catholic Church but ended up converting to Catholicism and being made a Cardinal?



Today we know him by the name of St. John Henry Newman. He is more familiarly known simply as Cardinal Newman and is one of the brightest lights of the Church. He offers us incredible insight into fundamental issues of identity and doctrine that our enemies have used against the Church for centuries. His own conversion to Catholicism in 1845 came as a result of his studies of the writings of the Fathers of the Church, when he realized that there was not a Protestant among them. 



In our newest Catholic Action Insight™ series, I was privileged to conduct three interviews with two incredible Newman scholars and devotees, Edward Short (who has written four books on Cardinal Newman) and Karl Keating (renowned founder of Catholic Answers). These men witness for us their own understanding of Newman’s contribution to the Church as well as the ways they have been personally influenced by the great churchman. 



Our first video (to be sent out tomorrow – don’t miss it!) is the most comprehensive discussion of Newman’s life and writings. It runs a little over 20 minutes and features a wide-ranging discussion of Newman’s overall theology and influence on the Church. It is entitled “The Ongoing Gift of Cardinal Newman.”



Video number two extends the discussion of Newman to his educational legacy, which we have felt particularly strongly in the United States. The session is entitled “Cardinal Newman’s Idea of a University.” (Runs 7 minutes.)



The third and final video is an interview with Karl Keating alone who expounds upon  the way in which Newman influenced his Apologetics work. It is a fascinating discussion which is entitled “Cardinal Newman the Catholic Apologist.” (Also 7 minutes.)



He is one of the greatest gifts to the Church of the past two centuries and is someone we should all get to know better. Please stay tuned for our new series on St. John Henry Newman to begin hitting your email box tomorrow.If you have not subscribed to receive emails from Catholic Action, please do so now <[link removed]>.
