Newman’s Dubious Doctorate: A Modernist Trojan Horse
VaticanNews portal reports that “Pope” Leo XIV has proclaimed John Henry Newman as a Doctor of the Church and co-patron of Catholic education alongside St. Thomas Aquinas, with Cardinal Arthur Roche celebrating Newman’s “search for truth” and liturgical implementation on October 9th. The article quotes Roche’s praise of Newman’s “Cor ad cor loquitur” spirituality and Leo XIV’s description of him as an antidote to “pessimism and fear” in education. This canonization effort culminates decades of neo-modernist attempts to rehabilitate a figure whose theological deviations paved the way for Vatican II’s apostasies.
