Pope Benedict XVI declares John Henry Newman "Blessed"

from Catholic Church · host Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales

The Archbishop of Birmingham, the Most Reverend Bernard Longley, makes the humble request that Pope Benedict XVI beatifies Cardinal John Henry Newman to make him a 'Blessed'. "It is right and fitting that we should recognise the holiness of a confessor, a son of this nation who, while not called to shed his blood for the Lord, bore eloquent witness to him in the course of a life devoted to the priestly ministry." Recorded in Cofton Park, Birmingham, on Sunday 19 September 2010.
