Produktbeschreibung
The unpublished Oratory Papers of Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman edited with an Introductory Study on the Continuity between his Anglican and his Catholic Ministry. These are Newman's Chapter Addresses and other writings on the purpose and characteristics of Oratorian life. As Superior, Newman wanted his community to consist of responsible persons bound together by tact and discretion, obeying an unwritten law of love. He exercised endless patience in his desire to preserve this 'weaponless state' of the Oratory in spite of tensions, dissensions, opposition and even separation. Each paper has been transcribed from the original manuscripts in the Birmingham Oratory Archives, and has been provided with a succinct introduction and notes. The editor has, moreover, furnished a full-length introductory study on Newman's spirituality as a priest against the background of the Anglican Ministry (1824-45), since it is true to say that Newman learned to live as a priest while still an Anglican. Four major areas of his Anglican ministry - the Care of Souls, Preaching, the Eucharistic Ministry and Prayer - have been closely examined both in themselves and in their renewed appearance in Newman's life as a Catholic priest. The editor, Fr Placid Murray, is a Benedictine monk of Glenstal Abbey, Ireland.
Autorenporträt
John Henry Newman (21 February 1801 - 11 August 1890) was an English theologian and poet. His major writings include the Tracts for the Times, his autobiography Apologia Pro Vita Sua, the Grammar of Assent, and the poem "The Dream of Gerontius." He also wrote the popular hymns "Lead, Kindly Light," "Firmly I believe, and truly," and "Praise to the Holiest in the Height."Newman was a controversial figure in the religious history of England, being one of the leaders of the Oxford Movement, an influential and controversial group of Anglicans who wanted the Church of England to bring back many beliefs and rituals from before the English Reformation. The movement was somewhat successful and in 1845 Newman, joined by some of his followers, left his position as the vicar at St. Mary's, Oxford, and was received by the Catholic Church. In 1879, he was created a cardinal by Pope Leo XIII in recognition of his services to the cause of the Catholic Church in England and was canonised as a saint in 2019.
