(1) Some sources say that he left the Society because of his distaste for the doctrine of Fr. Francisco Suárez, S.J., noted theologian of the 16th century; and others say that he was expelled because of his eccentricity.
Birth. February 21, 1801, London, England. The eldest of the six children of John Newman (ca.1767-1824), a banker, of a family from Cambridgeshire, and Jemina Foundrinier (1772-1836), a descendent of the Huguenots who migrated from France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.

With the Assize sermon on "National Apostasy" by John Keble, on July 14, 1833, the Oxford Movement was born. The religious opinions and principles of the Movement toward High Church principles in opposition to liberalizing and evangelical tendencies and emphasizing the principles of primitive and patristic Christianity as well as the historic and catholic character of the church, were given in a series of 90 papers called the Tracts for the Times, published in Oxford from 1833 to 1841. Newman became the leader of the Tractarian Movement, as it was also known. Resigned from St. Mary's in 1843.

The most famous and illustrious English convert, his life and thought are well documented through 21,000 of his personal letters that have survived as well as the 40 books that he published.

Exposed in the Oratory of St. Philip of Edgbaston; and buried, on the following day, in the small secluded cemetery at the Oratory House, Rednal, near Birmingham; in the same tomb with Father Ambrose St. John (+ 1875), according to his wishes. A plaque commemorates him in the church of S. Giorgio in Velabro, his deaconry (2).

Pope John Paul II signed the document acknowledging he practiced the Christian virtues in a heroic degree and declared him Venerable, January 22, 1991. At the beginning of 2008, in preparation for his beatification, the Vatican requested that his remains be transferred to the chapel of the Oratory of Birmingham and placed in a marble sarcophagus so that the faithful can venerate them more easily (3). On July 3, 2009, the pope authorized the publication of the decree of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints concerning a miracle attributed to his intercession. In a ceremony celebrated on September 19, 2010, in Birmingham, England, Pope Benedict XVI declared him a blessed. On February 12, 2019, Pope Francis authorized the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints to promulgate the decree of his canonization. On Monday July 1, 2019, took place the Ordiary Public Consistory for the Voting on his Cause of Canonization.
