His Holiness Pope Leo XIV has confirmed that St. John Henry Newman will be named a Doctor of the Church. When the former Anglican priest came across the Oratory in Rome, he was moved to bring the family of St. Philip back home to England, and from there began the rise of Oratorian communities in London, Birmingham, and beyond.
Much has been written about Cardinal Newman already, but for those who wish for some basic information on this new development, New Liturgical Movement has published an article.
By God's grace and the prayers of St. Philip Neri, we'll be singing O Doctor optime for the first Oratorian Doctor on his feast day!
