In the first part, I began my overview of Newman’s “traditionalism.” Today, I continue with several telltale passages from his writings — passages that could never have been written by a liberal, a progressive, or a modernist.
Thanks for these wonderful essays. Yes, Newman is a great man for our times…a Prophet for our confused times. He expresses truths in such a clear way. He may seem cold to some, but I always feel a warmth seeping through all his writings…almost as if he were writing about something he LOVED, and wants me to love too!!!!
If Newman, even as an Anglican, understood all these things to be correct, how painfully would he tear strips into the hierarchy for doing exactly as he warned.
