San Giovanni Enrico Newman
San Giovanni Enrico Newman (1801-1890) was an English theologian and cardinal of the Catholic Church, renowned for his contributions to Christian thought, especially in the areas of education and doctrinal development. Originally an Anglican priest, Newman converted to Catholicism in 1845 and became a prominent figure in the Oxford Movement, which sought to reintroduce high church practices within Anglicanism. He founded the Oratory of St. Philip Neri in Birmingham and played a crucial role in the establishment of the Catholic University of Ireland. Newman was canonized as a saint in 2019 and is celebrated for his intellectual rigor and commitment to education, making him a fitting figure to be honored by Pope Leone XIV for his contributions to the Church's educational mission.
