Cardinal Newman to be canonised: 13 February 2019
Cardinal John Henry Newman, the founder of what later became known as University College Dublin, is to be made a saint.
The Vatican announced that a second miracle was due to the intercession of the Englishman who converted from Anglicanism to the Catholic faith.
As a Catholic he wrote on the role of conscience and Papal authority in a letter to the Duke of Norfolk, “I shall drink to the Pope, if you please, still, to conscience first, and to the Pope afterwards.”
UCD philosophy professor Dermot Moran, a former Director of the International Newman Centre in Dublin, described the late Cardinal as “one of the most important intellectuals, writers, and theologians of the 19th Century”.
He said he was especially remembered in Ireland for his role in founding the Catholic University at 86 St Stephen’s Green, Dublin, which opened its doors to students in 1854.
Cardinal Newman served as the university’s first rector arriving five years after the end of the Great Famine and remaining here until 1858, a total of four years.
Significant openings for Catholics in the UK to be educated to degree level were created by the passage of Catholic Emancipation in 1829.
A statement from UCD highlights Cardinal Newman’s role in establishing a medical school in the capital’s Cecilia Street, which later became the UCD Faculty of Medicine.
