The apostolic visit of Pope Benedict XVI in Britain, 16 to 19 September 2010, was intended to celebrate the Cardinal John Henry Newman, CO (1801-1890) and proclaim the beatification. With Pope Benedict XVI, beatification ceremonies are usually entrusted to local bishops, and not to the Pope. For the Holy Father blessed Newman intended to make an exception, especially because - he told - "Cardinal Newman has had a long time an important influence in my life and my thoughts" (Benedict XVI 2010q). More generally, it is a personality for 'exceptional size for our time "(Benedict XVI 2010th)," a scholar of great stature, a distinguished writer and poet, a wise man of God, whose thought has illuminated many minds and still exercises an extraordinary fascination' ( Benedict XVI 2010v), "a figure of Doctor of the Church" (Pope Benedict XVI 2010th) - albeit not yet been formally proclaimed as such - which addressed some of the key problems of modernity. During the trip Pope Benedict XVI returned to the same problems, and remembering the teachings of the blessed Newman is applying them to the context odierno.Nell 'homily for the Mass of beatification in Birmingham, the Pope pointed out three main teachings of the blessed that Newman has been proposed to illustrate his journey: "the relationship between faith and reason, on the living space of revealed religion in civilized society, and the need for a broadly based approach to education, long-range ' (Benedict XVI 2010p). Convinced that "the Blessed John Henry Newman, whose form and whose writings still retain a tremendous relevance, deserves to be known by all" (Benedict XVI 2010v), each of the three themes Benedict XVI has dedicated extensive reflections. cesnur.org / 2010 / mi-papa-newman.html
