John Henry Newman: A Life Sacrificed – Episode 4

Ignatius Press: Off the Shelf

Fr. Fessio, Vivian Dudro, and Joseph Pearce discuss how St. John Henry Newman devoted his whole life to lady truth just as a man is devoted to his wife. They note how Newman encouraged all people to explore the inherent rationality of the faith so that they can become convinced by its logic and intelligibility. With Newman, they point out that while faith is a gift, it is a gift that we can choose not to accept. Finally, they defend Newman against those who try to use his thoughts to argue that doctrines and dogmas change radically over time SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press: Off the Shelf.
