John Henry Newman: A Life Sacrificed – Episode 5

Ignatius Press: Off the Shelf

Ida Görres remarks that St. John Henry Newman did not like the use of force or coercion to bring people into the Catholic faith. Joseph, Vivian, and Fr. Fessio then discuss whether excommunication and execution are justifiable acts that respect or destroy human freedom. Finally, they quickly review Chapter 5 and debate the merits of Newman’s theory of beauty and architecture. SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press: Off the Shelf.
