Saint John Henry Newman was an English theologian and cardinal who converted from Anglicanism to Catholicism in 1845. Born in London in 1801, he was a leading figure in the Oxford Movement before his conversion. His writings on the development of doctrine, the nature of conscience, and the relationship of faith and reason remain profoundly influential. He was canonized in 2019.
