Just some background info on Cardinal Newman...

Born 21 February 1801 in London , died 11 August 1890 in Birmingham .

 As Vicar of St Mary's Oxford he exerted a profound spiritual influence on the Church of England. He joined the Catholic Church in 1845, and brought the Oratory of St Philip Neri to England, and was the first Rector of the Catholic University in Dublin. Pope Leo XIII made him a Cardinal in 1879.

 Through his extensive published writings and private correspondence he created a greater understanding of the Catholic Church and its teachings, helping many persons with their religious difficulties. At his death he was praised for his unworldliness, humility, and prayerful contact with the invisible world. He was declared Venerable on 22  January 1991.
