Fellow Reinhard Hütter’s main thesis is that Saint John Henry Newman, in his own context of the nineteenth century, faced the same challenges that we do today: liberalism in religion, rationalism, and the unfettered reign of private judgment in matters of religion. Newman’s engagement with these problems offers a prescient and prophetic diagnosis of where these problems lead ― consequences which have more or less come to pass ― and an alternative which is at once thoroughly Catholic and deeply relevant.
