  • As the climax of our focus on St. John Henry Newman last week, I invite you to watch my lecture from Oxford University on “Newman and the New Evangelization.”
    I was honored to give the lecture at the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin, where Newman preached many times and served as vicar during his final days as an Anglican cleric, before converting to Catholicism. I’m grateful to the University Church and the Oxford Oratory for hosting this special event.

Jesus died for our sins, that is the Good News and he died for everyone, that is classic Catholic theology. We have to repent and accept Jesus as our savior and then continue to grow in holiness through his grace until our natural death and the final judgment.

And it is the same persons. The Channel is used to it. None of them will ever have a single comment on the posted video's content or message. So you decide for yourself. Bishop Barron has umpteen times explained himself before other Bishops and the entire Catholics. If he was such a bad element the Church would have dealt with him. Isn't it?

    I agree that there can be great value in linking conscience with the voice of god.

      Exactly. Very few are going against the culture to preach the gospel, teach the catechism and evangelize. They are not willing to be hated by the world. That's what it takes and sacrifice. Jesus wasn't just a "nice guy" he told us we must repent and be ready for the Lord to return at any time. We want the full Gospel! Bishops should be giving it too us. If not, woe to them.

The reason that we try to find him in creation is because is written in the consciousness the notion of immutable and eternal truth, because this is not found on creation a supreme being outside this realm is the answer.

    I can tell just by the formulation of his formal remarks that His Excellency has been reading a lot of Newman lately. There was a ton of 19th century styling in his prose here. It comes off a bit highbrow, but then again he’s talking about one of the truly great intellectuals of that century, in what is perhaps the highest of all high brow institutions in the western world, so the tone is forgivable. This is especially the case in consideration of the fantastic tribute he does Newman here, and the rhythmically clear exposition of the ideas and ethic which made our newest saint a giant of Catholic history.

    I'll probably have to watch this ten more times before I can even pretend to get it, but around the 12 min mark I noticed something that seems like a recurring theme in the way Catholics think vs the way Protestants think. That is, when Catholics explain their theology, they tend to speak "upwards", as if their words can merely "point" to something "higher"; whereas, Protestants tend to break out their Greek dictionaries and basically try to diagram Biblical verses in order to "tie down" an exact meaning (this analogy probably won't make any sense to anyone but me, but I'd almost explain it like "Protestants use a fine toothed comb, and Catholics use a blow dryer".). I've definitely noticed this difference while attending Catholic Bible studies.

      It is worth noting, whether Catholic or Protestant, that Scripture is a gift from our Father, indeed His love letter to us. A passion for its contents and the love it reveals is more than appropriate no matter one's tradition.
      I also think that deeper observation may yet reveal to you that many Catholic theologians are expert comb users, and many Protestant theologians quite artful with blow dryers.

    • @wayneanddonita3857
      @wayneanddonita3857 Před 4 lety +1

      Maybe, but...I think there's definitely a "distinctly Protestant" way of reading Scripture. If memory serves, it even has its own name, the "Historical/Grammatical Hermeneutic" (as opposed to the Catholic "Historical/Critical Hermeneutic"). Not to knock the Protestants, but I don't think that style of interpreting Scripture really even existed prior to Calvin. Also, FWIW, as cool as innovations are when it comes to planes, trains, & automobiles, they're a bit scary when found in religion...

    Is Newman bad at writing or is there really such a large gap between modern writing and the writing of his time? Started reading his book after this and I often find sentences that I really cant parse at all..... For example this paragraph from Grammar of Assent, starting from after his quote of a poet I can't really follow or parse at all what is being said:
    Next I observe, that the same proposition may admit of both of these interpretations at once, having a notional sense as used by one man, and a real as used by another. Thus a schoolboy may perfectly apprehend, and construe with spirit, the poet’s words, “Dum Capitolium scandet cum tacitâ Virgine Pontifex;” he has seen steep hills, flights of steps, and processions; he knows what enforced silence is; also he knows all about the Pontifex Maximus, and the Vestal Virgins; he has an abstract hold upon every word of the description, yet without the words therefore bringing before him at all the living image which they would light up in the mind of a contemporary of the poet, who had seen the fact described, or of a modern historian who had duly informed himself in the religious phenomena, and by meditation had realized the Roman ceremonial, of the age of Augustus. Again, “Dulce et decorum est pro patriâ mori,” is a mere commonplace, a terse expression of abstractions in the mind of the poet himself, if Philippi is to be the index of his patriotism, whereas it would be the record of experiences, a sovereign dogma, a grand aspiration, inflaming the imagination, piercing the heart, of a Wallace or a Tell.

      He along with John Stewart Mill is widely regarded as the best writer of prose England ever produced. I think it’s us who’ve got a poorer set of comprehension skills.
      The passage you quote is, like all Newmans words, hard to interpret out of context. It’s also incredibly overlayed with classical references that assume you have traveled to Rome and know both Virgil and Ovid’s poetry. That said… roughly he’s talking about the difference between notional apprehension and real apprehension which lie behind an act of either notional or real assent. He’s saying a school boy has notional knowledge of a scene described in Ovids fasti of the Vestal Virgins climbing the Capitoline Hill because he knows what hills look like and what ceremonies look like and can form a certain picture of what that scene might look like, ie a notional apprehension. By contrast the classicist of several decades standing who has seen the specific seven hills of Rome and has studied ancient ceremony thoroughly or the contemporary observer have a real apprehension of the scene
