About this title

About the Author:

Vincent Ferrer Blehl, S. J., has been engaged in Newman research since 1957 and has published many books and articles on Newman. A former professor and chairman of the English Department of Fordham University, in 1980 he became chairman of the Historical Committee set up to examine Newman’s life, virtues, and reputation for sanctity. This committee completed its findings in 1986, when Father Blehl became Postulator of the Cause for the Canonization of John Henry Newman. He drew up the case for Newman’s holiness, which was unanimously approved by the Committee of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, so that Pope John Paul II, in January 1991, declared Newman a fit candidate for canonization.
