Clearly, the political climate has much to do with the decision since the Pope is determined to increase the number of priests by raiding the ranks of the Anglicans and Newman was the poster-child for jumping ship. John, in particular and this has led to all sorts speculation has to which way he batted. He was himself opposed to it, hence his insistence on burial in a compost that would speed up bodily disintegration. We, he suggests, are faced with a conundrum that he foresaw, if not explicitly stated, where the secular government is forced to protect the freedom of expression of sects, which in turn leads to more secularism. His solution was a return to Catholicism. In the Epilogue, Cornwell examines in detail the claims by Jack Sullivan who claims he was healed of a serious back condition by praying to Newman, which caused the pain to disappear. Placebo effect, anyone? Caveat emptor. Sep 27, Alan Cooke rated it it was amazing. Quite apart from the rather boring speculation about Newman's "gayness" and his impending sainthood, this is a marvellous biography. I came away from it with immense respect and admiration for Newman, and the details of his journey from low-church evangelical Christianity to high Anglicanism and eventually to Catholicism, are richly detailed and absorbing. Newman led an utterly absorbing and exemplary life and this book has sent me back to his writing. Although I had little intention of ever tackling it, I'm now determined to read the Apologia. After his recent canonisation I was keen to read this biography of John Henry Newman by John Cornwell, as I knew very little about him, other than that his celebrated conversion to Roman Catholicism shocked mid nineteenth century Anglicans. I have been rewarded with a fascinating, highly informative and strangely moving reading experience. I even found myself feeling sorry for him, as he gave up membership of After his recent canonisation I was keen to read this biography of John Henry Newman by John Cornwell, as I knew very little about him, other than that his celebrated conversion to Roman Catholicism shocked mid nineteenth century Anglicans. I even found myself feeling sorry for him, as he gave up membership of and high status in a church which revered him, for that of a church which found his freethinking and liberal views uncomfortable, despite the propaganda value of his high profile conversion. I had no idea that there has been a controversy over whether or not Newman was gay. The biographer discounts such a view, on the basis that no evidence exists for Newman having ever had any kind of physical relationship with another man. John, suggest to me that he sublimated his sexuality in intense, but non-sexual, special male friendships. The modern attempts to deny his potential gayness seem based on the assumption that this would be a slander on his reputation as a holy Catholic saint. Yet surely the opposite is true, that this in fact enhances his value as an inspiration to the modern world, gay or straight. Or will the find itself energised and liberated by his wide-ranging literary and religious imagination? Reading this book has at least made him a source of inspiration to me. Nov 10, Joseph rated it really liked it. This is a great read to understand the man, scholar, writer, priest, convert, writings and the important historical events of his time. Oct 03, Bill Tierney rated it really liked it. Newman wrote an epic book about higher education, The Idea of the University. However, I must admit that I did not know much about Newman before reading his biography, other than that he had helped start a university in Dublin. James Joyce and Edward Said both thought he was a seminal thinker who influenced their thoughts. He also was probably gay. He asked that he be buried with his best friend, Ambrose St. There were also numerous instances in his language and actions where his dealings with his male friends went beyond what might be considered typical friendship. Although there is no proof that he was gay, I do not think, after having read the book, it is far-fetched to think of him as such. I am certain that suggesting that Newman was gay will raise the ire of some right-wingers who believe that saying someone is not straight implies something bad about the individual. One ought not to be surprised that a religious person penned a book about the purpose of the university. Newman spent his life thinking about why he believed what he believed and how he was to expect others to believe. Newman would have none of it. He argued that science and religion were compatible and that the purpose of a university was to discuss, to debate, to argue about differing opinions. Artistic truth, Newman thought, was organic and incapable of scientific analysis. Scientific truth functioned through logic. He was entirely comfortable that we had both, and he sought supremacy for neither. The university was one of the main staging grounds for figuring out the puzzles of life. The university was important because it enabled growth and development. He had a strong sense of interiority — of wanting to know how he should live and what he should believe. What he reacted against were doctrinaire statements about and beliefs handed down unexamined. Because he questioned so much, he was constantly in trouble with the Church. The pope, other cardinals, other priests, the press, disliked his questioning, but they ultimately came to respect his intellect and his intense belief that in order to find truth we had to question. Oct 27, Gili Austin rated it really liked it. A very insightful window on the life of John Henry Newman. The book traces Newman's progressive journey from Evangelicalism to High Church Protestantism to Tractarianism and eventually to Catholicism. The journey is marked with huge progress that was not free from pain. Having become a catholic priest, founder and superior of the Oratorians in England, founder of the Catholic university in Ireland and the Oratory school did not shelter him from enemies who caused him much pain and suffering. The A very insightful window on the life of John Henry Newman. The book deals with the controversial issues of sexuality and his relationship with his friend St. John in a clear and satisfactory way. His life has obviously stands out as examplary for his time, dwarfs that of certain cardinals and monsignors, and his thinking and beliefs are still indeed relevant to many issues we face today like education, secularism, athesim, relativism and scientific research. He was indeed a reluctant saint if there was one. He was concerned basically with the search for truth and following at all costs having conscience as his supreme guide.

Prominent, albeit controversial, Catholic thinker John Cornwell magnificient 'literary-biography' of Newman examines the importance of the man's work in theology, criticism and philosophy as a means to inquiring as to the saintliness of Newman as well as his importance to the 21st Century. Newman was an amazing man A biography of Cardinal John Henry Newman, one of the great Catholic Thinkers and writers of the 19th century. Newman was an amazing man who reflected on the purpose and process of religion, the role of religion in society and the notion of education. Cornwell does true justice to a great thinker and stylist in a book steeped in lore and learning. Jan 15, David Bisset rated it really liked it. I do not think that this is John Cornwell's best book, although it contains material which is significant for Victorian church history. John Henry Newman is widely honoured within the Anglican Communion, because of his role within the Oxford Movement which transformed Anglicanism. Perhaps that was more significant than his achievements within the Roman Catholic Church where he was always looked upon with some suspicion. However, his Apologia is a timeless spiritual classic. Apr 18, Mark Glidden rated it did not like it Shelves: rubbish. A stain on the memory of one of the great Roman Catholics of the modern age. Whilst it is great that Blessed JHN is enjoying something of a revival amongst British Catholics, as well indeed among Catholics in general, this "tie- in" does little for his memory. Or perhaps even worse than you did before? Confession has always performed a complex role in society, always created mixed feelings in its practitioners. As an acknowledgement of sinfulness, it can provide immense psychological relief; but while aiming to replace remorse with innocence, its history has become inextricably intertwined with eroticism and shame. The Dark Box is an erudite and personal history; Cornwell draws on his own memories of Catholic boyhood, and weaves it with the story of confession from its origins in the early church to the current day, where its enduring psychological potency is evidenced by everything from the Vatican's 'confession app' to Oprah Winfrey's talk shows. Since the 16th century, seclusion of two individuals in the intimate 'dark box', often discussing sexual actions and thoughts, has eroticised the experience of confession. When, in , Pius X made confession a weekly, rather than yearly ritual, the horrific cases of child abuse which have haunted the Catholic church in the twentieth century became possible. John Cornwell's impassioned treatise on the dangers of confession is now available in paperback. Se ha producido un problema al guardar tus preferencias de cookies.

In a rich and fascinating history John Cornwell tells the epic story of Germany's scientists from the First World War to the collapse of Hitler's Reich. He shows how Germany became the world's Mecca for inventive genius, taking the lion's share of Nobel awards, before Hitler's regime hijacked science for wars of conquest and genocidal racism.

Certainly English Catholics need no persuading, both progressives and the more conservative claiming him as their own. Cornwell makes a strong case that so should non-Catholics. Newman's path to Rome can be traced to his leadership of the Tractarian movement when he gathered around him acolytes who aimed to renew the Church of England, seeking to resist the influence of evangelicals on the Church and then to recover ancient Catholic faith and practice. By , however, Newman abandoned hope of reform within Anglicanism and was received into the Catholic Church. Although he was eventually appointed a cardinal, Newman's influence was not because of high office. That he is one of the Church's greatest figures is because of his literary achievements. As well as his remarkable Apologia, he was the author of the Grammar of Assent, an enduring account of the origin and development of religious belief, and , a poetic exploration of death, a copy of which was found on the body of the assassinated Gordon of Khartoum. But arguably his most important work, which took his influence well beyond the realm of the Catholic Church, was The Idea of a University. This book owes its origins to discrimination against bright Catholics in England and Ireland in the 19th century. They were barred from English universities. Out of this invitation came a series of lectures in which Newman demonstrated powerfully the vital importance of the pursuit of truth, not for the sake of the Church or employers, but for its own sake. Cornwell writes about Newman and his time with verve and lucidity. Great spats and spite prevailed in the Church and beyond it, and Newman was both a victim of viciousness and a master of sarcasm. His introspection and self-absorption are not always attractive, but Cornwell usefully highlights that Newman, as much as Wordsworth, was part of the Romantic tradition that saw the imagination as the means to understanding the sublime. Out of introspection comes meaning. Cornwell's exploration of this 19th-century context serves as a reminder of the pitfalls besetting anyone who tries to make a historical figure fit a contemporary mindset. Gay campaigners, for example, have sought to claim Newman as their own, given his relationships with other men, particularly Ambrose St John, with whom he asked to be buried. While there is evidence of love, proving a sexual element is almost impossible. Otros formatos: Tapa dura , Tapa blanda. IVA incluido si corresponde.

James Joyce hailed him the 'greatest' prose stylist of the Victorian age. A problematic campaign to canonise Newman started fifty years ago. Finally, in and after authentication of the second of two miracles attributed to Newman, he was canonised made a saint at a ceremony in Rome given by Pope Francis and attended by HRH Prince Charles. In Newman's Unquiet Grave John Cornwell author of A Thief in the Night and Hitler's Pope tells the story of the chequered attempts to establish Newman's sanctity against the background of major developments within Catholicism. His life was marked by personal feuds, self-absorption, accusations of professional and artistic narcissism, hypochondria, and same-sex friendships that at times bordered on the apparent homo-erotic. John Cornwell investigates the process of Newman's elevation to sainthood to present a highly original and controversial new portrait of the great man's life and genius for a new generation of religious and non-religious readers alike. But in The Pope in Winter, leading Vatican expert John Cornwell seriously questions the workings of his papacy and points to fundamental flaws - exacerbated by age and infirmity - that have alarming consequences for both the Catholic Church's future and John Paul II's successor.

Cornwell accomplishes this with almost invisible grace. Cornwell recognises, as so many others have not, that Newman was first and foremost a writer - that his genius lay in "creating new ways of imagining and writing about religion" His treatise 'Idea of a University' is surely required reading in today's cost-cutting, vocationally minded climate. A renowned scholar and thinker, Newman, in his lifetime, produced thousands of pages that some have considered the finest theological writing of his time. Even today Newman continues to shape the thoughts of aspiring theologians. But as Cornwell, prolific author of works on Catholicism, suggests, the good cardinal had his detractors. The author suggests there may be sufficient contradictions in, and perhaps enough unanswered questions about, his subject's life to call into question Newman's upcoming beatification, expected in September. Newman's spiritual and, indeed, philosophical journey serves as a fascinating template for understanding the 19th-century Catholic Church and its trajectories into England.

If they do, the Pope then declares whether or not he considers a miracle to have occurred. One such miraculous cure is required for the stage of beatification and another for canonisation. But not everyone is convinced of the importance of miracles. While Cornwell was researching his Newman biography, he examined closely the miracle that was attributed to Newman and led to his beatification in by Pope Benedict XVI during his visit to the UK. Huge amounts of documentation were produced, including doctors declaring the Sullivan miracle scientifically inexplicable. But John Cornwell remains unconvinced. They said there were many other cases where people had enjoyed pain relief. T o get to this stage of a papal declaration is often a protracted process. Newman had been a prominent Anglican and Oxford academic until he converted to Roman Catholicism. He founded a university in Dublin, cared for the poor in Birmingham and was made a cardinal in Melissa Villalobos, came forward to her local bishop to say that she had prayed to Newman — to whom she had a special devotion — to help her because she was suffering from a torn placenta during pregnancy which had caused a major haemorrhage. The bleeding stopped, doctors confirmed the placenta was no longer torn, and her daughter was later born normally. The Oratorians again asked Dr Ambriosi to collect all the evidence regarding Villalobos to submit to the Vatican. The amount of paperwork adds to the costs of the drive for canonisation — costs which deeply concerned Pope Francis. Nuzzi also discovered that around postulators work the sainthood system. Pope Francis ordered an inquiry and a new system with close recording of donations and expenditure on investigation for sainthood. Yet even now, the system is costly. Then, one day, he met a rich American for lunch in London who was devoted to Newman.
