What Does It Mean For Newman To Be Proclaimed A Doctor Of The Church?

Pope Leo XIV officially proclaimed Saint John Henry Newman the 38th Doctor of the Church and co-patron of Catholic education on the Feast of All Saints, 1 November.

In this talk Prof Roderick Strange will share his personal reflections on the thought of John Henry Newman, and consider how we may be encouraged by this proclamation to allow the breadth and depth of Newman’s teaching to speak to our hearts.
