  2. St. John Henry Newman, Doctor of the Universal Church

    St. John Henry Newman, Doctor of the Universal Church

    Bishop Steven Lopes of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter joined host Andrew Petiprin on an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast to discuss the upcoming recognition of St. John Henry Newman (1801-1890) as a Doctor of the Universal Church. This Ordinariate Audio presentation features excerpts from that September 2025 podcast. John Henry Newman entered the Catholic Church in 1845 after serving as a priest and theologian in the Anglican Church in England. He is only the 38th person to be declared a Doctor of the Church. Newman's written works include "An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine" (1845), "Apologia Pro Vita Sua" (1864), and "An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent" (1870). In the 1830s, Newman became associated with the Oxford Movement, which promoted the renewal of catholic thought and practice within the Church of England. Podcast host Andrew Petiprin holds an M.Div. from Yale University and an M.Phil from Oxford University. He served as a priest and administrator in The Episcopal Church (USA) before coming into full communion with the Catholic Church in 2019. -- Note: The complete version of this Ignatius Press Podcast, nearly an hour long, includes remarks by Dr. Jennifer Martin, professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame. However, for this Ordinariate Audio version, we are presenting only the comments of Bishop Lopes, since he touched on several topics related to Ordinariate clergy and church communities. Brief music interludes indicate where content from the longer-form version of the podcast has been removed.
