John Henry Newman (1801-90) was brought up in the Church of England
in the Evangelical tradition. An Oxford graduate and Fellow of
Oriel College, he was appointed Vicar of St Mary's Oxford in 1828;
from 1839 onwards he began to have doubts about the claims of the
Anglican Church for Catholicity and in 1845 he was received into
the Roman Catholic Church. He was made a Cardinal in 1879. His
influence on both the restoration of Roman Catholicism in England
and the advance of Catholic ideas in the Church of England was
profound.
This key volume covers the final twenty-three months of Newman's
Anglican years from November 1843 to 6 October 1845. It begins with
Francis Rivington's refusal to publish Lives of the English Saints
because of their Roman Catholic bias, and Newman's withdrawal from
the editorship after the first two volumes of the series is
published by another publishing house. The whole country is
watching his every move. Rumours are rife and rampant. He is
accused of being in the pay of the Pope. He is also accused of
being a Jesuit or about to become one. But the attacks which really
hit home are those accusing him of being a liar, a sceptic, and a
traitor.
In February 1845, the University of Oxford's Convocation deprives
William George Ward of his BA and MA Oxford degrees; and the
proposal to censure Newman's Tract 90 is vetoed by two University
Proctors. Newman sets to work in earnest on his Essay on
Development, the publication of which will be the signal of his
intentions to become a Roman Catholic. It goes to the printers in
the third week of September. From this point on, events move
swiftly. It is only a matter of days before Newman is received into
the Churchof Rome by Father Dominic Barberi at Littlemore on 9
October 1845.
