Cardinal Newman
The conversion of Cardinal Newman, an educated, renown Anglican, gave respectability to converting to Catholicism in England. Recusant Catholics had been treated as social outcasts and persecuted when the English monarchy outlawed the practice of the true faith. Hence the Catholic hierarchy rejoiced when Cardinal Newman broke the ice for many Anglicans to enter the Church and eloquently defended the Catholic faith.

The Center is Jesus Christ Himself is a collection of essays w...
