Cardinal John Henry Newman, Jurassic Press, The Catholic Church, The Pope

On the last day of his recent trip to the UK, Pope Benedict beatified Cardinal Newman. If you’re not Catholic, this is a step toward sainthood. The Pope has strong theological and intellectual ties to Newman; both are profound intellects. The Pope’s trip and the event regarding Newman were of course dismissed by the atheistic secular Jurassic Press, but was hugely important. Because this post isn’t so much about Newman, you can learn a bit about him here at the Windrose Hotel Blog.

The inanity of even religion reporters in the media never ceases to amaze. National Public Radio (NPR) is tax payer funded Leftist radio, but even for them this was a bit over the top. Their religion reporter Barbara Bradley Hagerty, with absolutely no evidence, speculated that Newman was gay. This was because he was a close friend of Ambrose St. John. The actual headline to the story is “Was Cardinal John Henry Newman Gay?” Truly? This is what's most important?

A historic trip by the Pope, the Beatification of Newman, the conjunction of two of the most important theologians ever, and that’s what Hagerty comes up with? Good grief.

Their friendship lasted 32 years, and Newman wanted to be buried in the same grave as Ambrose St. John, which wasn’t an uncommon practice at the time. From that and lots of letters (people actually wrote extensively to one another at the time, Hagerty), she feels compelled to make sex her focus? She’s a religion writer why?

History should be viewed through the eyes of the time, not redefining it through the uber sexualized, bigoted, intolerant, uninformed, perverted ignorance of most of the current pseudo intelligencia and self appointed elites.
