St. John Henry Newman on the Holy Angels
"Most perfect of creature - the image of God's attributes"
One of the most significant canonizations declared by Pope Benedict XVI was that of John Henry Newman, arguably the greatest convert to Catholicism in the 19th century and perhaps in the whole history of Protestant England. Having been a prominent member of the Oxford Movement as an Anglican, he followed its desire for greater continuity with Christian theological, liturgical and cultural history until becoming so deep in history he finally ceased to be Protestant and found his true home in the Catholic Church.
