CARDINAL JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Cardinal Newman is to be beatified in Coventry, U.K. in September. Two of his famous sayings are:

‘In all times the laity have been the measure of the Catholic Spirit’ (Present Position of Catholics lecture 9)

‘Persons influence us, voices melt us, deeds inflame us. We are not converted by philosophical statements’ (Grammar of Assent, ch. 4)
