St. John Henry Newman: Lover of Truth

- Friends, today is the feast day of the great nineteenth-century convert St. John Henry Newman-one of the most influential theologians since Thomas Aquinas. I invite you to watch the “Pivotal Players” episode about Newman’s life and work, and how he used his gifts as an academic and apologist to help the Church’s mission.
St. John Henry Newman, pray for us!

I am an Indian Hindu. But I love Bishop Robert Barron and St. John Henry Newman.
St. JHN, pray for us 🙏.
Just wow Bishop Barron, I was not expecting you to just release an entire episode like this for free. God bless your generosity.
@john fisher 'The Church owns the planet, and what has God done for us lately?'
It's going to be your last supper if you don't say grace with the rest of us.
Only until 31st!
@john fisher im pretty sure jeff bazos is richer....but i wish Church is faaar more richer, so she can take care for poor people even more...Catholic Church is the biggest charitable institution in the world, are you even aware of that fact?! you should learn something more about real John Fisher btw
@john fisher I'm Canadian, although i've been in American dominated net-space for so long you might not be making much of a mistake. I don't think it's an established fact that the Catholic Church is the richest organization on the planet, and arguing that the videos should be free... what am i to do with you? They _are_ free. I feel like i traded rightwing 'raid the fed' for leftwing 'raid the vatican'.
All _WE_ do nowadays is evangelize our political compass to others, and then espouse ingroup rhetoric until a protective bubble forms. _This_ is the dominant meta-reality.
I was just calling you an ungrateful bastard. 'You're not my real dad' is an understandable retort, given this.
_My_ reality is that i'm about twice the age of everyone here. I should get credits for reverse engineering 2nd hand info back to these people's teachers.
Redistribution good, centralized authority bad. Okay. I have three nails and a hammer. Back up on the cross with you. I won't have you badmouthing the pharisees any longer.
Here's how redistribution works: People have problems. People lament lack of euros. People protest until they get euros. Then people offer said euros to the people that gave them the euros, because the people with euros, and the problem solvers, are the same people.
Prayer cuts out the middleman. With no one else, other than God, present, we beg the one and only, and ask him to save.
@john fisher It is generous that this is offered for free. This video was not free to produce. There is the cost of travel, to feed and house the support crew during filming, to buy and rent the equipment to shoot the video and post-processing, to pay the salaries of the crew, etc. None of that came for free. Presumably, the Bishop is the only person who wasn't paid for his time, but he still had to travel and eat.
I presume that it was funded by the donors of Word on Fire Ministries and (this is important) the proceeds from previous customers.
Thanks for your interesting & engaging videos. We hear about people falling down the rabbit hole & being radicalized due to the algorithms of TH-cam. I began binge-watching Bishop Barron & Fulton Sheen,. At first, it was as a skeptical atheist. I attended mass for the first time on Sunday & began RCIA. A TH-cam convert? Stranger things have happened.
One small thing. The Mississippi doesn't empty into the Pacific at New Orleans. That is the Gulf of Mexico in the Atlantic.
Thats really cool to hear, I work nights and come home and watch these videos. Bishop Barron is top shelf. I hope he releases more of these type of video. The people like us on this wild web are the ones that need to hear it most
John Harrison welcome home
thank you for responding to this invitation to God
Welcome home.
Welcome Home John Harrison. God bless you.
Bishop Barron, i've got into Newman because of you. After reading Apologia pro Vita Sua and his Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, it was a joy to hear of his canonization. Thank you for introducing me to this author and for this great video. God bless you!
That's just wonderful. God bless you, Francisco!
@@BishopBarron I have the same experience. You brought Newman to me, or rather, me to Newman!
I thank God for you Bishop Barron 🙏 🙌 praise the name of Jesus forever 🙏 🙌 ❤️
Bishop Barron, your scholarly presentation of the life and works of Saint John Henry Newman is not only stimulatingly educative, but also, timingly reflective for Catholics. Both on the pivotal role of J.H.Newman's in the life of the church and his poignant conversion story. Great job & God bless.
It is great news. England has it's first saint in 50 years. St John Henry Newman pray for us and intercede for us. God bless
St. John Henry Newman, pray for us ⛪ 💕 🙏 😇 👼

Thank you so much, Bishop, for sharing this and for all your work! It is such a blessing to this new convert to the Church.
Thank you for releasing a Pivotal Players episode for free Bishop Barron! God bless you and your work!
Dear Bishop Barron, thank you so much for putting this video on TH-cam. I have, already, purchased the Pivotal Players series via amazon. As a Catholic and a Birmingham lad I am very excited for Blessed John Henry Newman’s canonisation this coming Sunday. God bless you Bishop Barron. You are and continue to be a huge inspiration to me. Cardinal Henry Newman, Pray for us. Amen 🙏
Thank you for sharing this, i pray for unity and clarity among all the sons and daughters of holy mother church.
Best regards from the mountains of south america, may god help my country in this decades long war against marxist terrorist armed groups.
My heart goes out to you. God bless and strengthen you in these most difficult and dangerous times.
That was an excellent exposition of the life of the great JOHN NEWMAN, thank you 🙏 so much for such a great piece that most of us CATHOLICS, ignored.
GOD BLESS YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
God bless you, Bishop Barron! Our holy Church needs true men of God, like you, to lead the flock, now more than ever!
Graduate of Newman University (Wichita, KS) here. I'm so excited that Cardinal Newman is going to be canonized. I hope many will see this Pivotal Players release.

Thank you, Bishop Barron.
Thank you Bishop Barron. Beautiful. Uplifting. God bless
Great video.Hopefully Blessed John Henry Newman can teach us present faithful Catholics to accept change.The faithful are called to convert everyday.
Change is hard.
Newman's acceptance of the principle for growth and change is one that endures throughout his entire religious life which this video shortly touches on at the 35 minute mark.
This principle finds expressions in Newman's theory on the development of doctrine.
Newman expresses the principle this way, to live is to change and to be perfect is to have changed often.
Newman applied this to his own life that enabled him to accept that Rome was the One True Church because she had within herself an inner power of development and growth which is the only evidence of life.
Am I cynical to think that the timing in conjunction with the Amazon synod is somewhat fortuitous? Is this a wholesale effort to prepare the Church for some big change Pope F wants to spring on us?
Great stuff, bishop Barron. I started "On the development of Christian doctrine" thanks to you.
Thank you ❤
This is great! Thank you very much Bisshop Barron and crew!
God bless Bishop Barron! Thank you for this beatifull vídeo.
A wonderful video of a man who loved Christ and his Church...both mattered and he weighed everything on it because it was worth it. I will watch this a time or two more.
Thank you father for this work, I enjoyed it so much because Newman' life is a inspiration on my faith life..
Our Jesus and Mary, teach us: Faith, Hope and Love. Ps 86:15, Lk 11:2
“Make knowledge of the Scripture your love ... Live with them, meditate on them, make them the sole object of your knowledge and inquiries.”
😇 St Jerome please pray with us
Can't thank you enough for posting this great film on YT.
I remember going through basic training and going to Mass every Sunday and before mass they’d always played Word on Fire videos with Bishop Barron and they were great! I always looked forward to Sunday’s
Thankyou Bishop Barron. God bless
He is the patron of the collage attached to the seminary that I go to. Today we had a celebration in anticipation of his canonization. We have a first class relic of his hair in the collage Chapel now. Please pray for Newman Theological Collage in Edmonton Alberta. Blessed Cardinal Newman, pray for us.
Jospeh Spiller I studied there too for 4 years.
@@hulsfamcalcan oh yeah? When was that? I just started at the sem last year.
Jospeh Spiller when it was in St. Albert. Are you diocesan? Good luck with your studies.
@@hulsfamcalcan cool. I am studying for the archdiocese, yes. Thank you so much. Are you still in the area?
amen
54:52 “Your baby has fingernails”…best tag line for pro-life ever!
Thank you for posting this episode so a poor college student like myself can forward this to other poor college students!
Well done!
Thank you! St John Henry Newman pray for us!
Thank you for posting this free video. I am troubled by John Henry Newman's life's work as you say of "finding a middle way between Prostestantism and Catholicsm". This contributed to the spirit of Vatican II which essentially denuded the Catholic Mystical experience of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, changing it from the High Alter, the priest Ad Orientum, Gregorian chant or sacred organ music to the felt banners, table instead of alter, and guitar playing pop/folk songs. A very Protestant experience rather than a very Catholic experience. I know because I was brought up in the Latin Mass with an organist in the Choir Loft up until age 17. When the church radically shifted, I left, looking for something more profound. Fortunately I came back and currently attend a Novus Ordo parish where, praise God we have a very devout and holy priest who has made changes already in his short term of four months, returning our Mass to a much more Sacred experience of devotion. He is a younger priest and like many of the younger priests, he wants to return much of what was lost since Vatican II.
Your parish sounds a lot like mine. A new younger priest was assigned eight years ago. He always says Mass Ad Orientem and in Latin at least once a week. No more altar girls, and he brought communion rails back. Several girls and women wear mantillas. People are coming from out of town, even across the state line (an hour's drive).
Thank you for appealing to the illative sense through the use of a beautiful soundtrack!
Oh my! There is our
ST. JOHN NEUMANN, ordained in 1836, in New York, New York, USA. ST JOHN NEUMANN was a student in Bohemia who longed to be a foreign missionary in the United States.
And here we hve a new ST JOHN NEWMAN?? What a wonderful thing is this?
The ST JOHN NEUMANN I know, is an EXTREMELY POWERFUL SAINT, kind and gentle. ST JOHN NEUMANN ALways gets me to pray when I don't listen to the other Saints who tell me the same thing. ST JOHN NEUMANN has removed the anguish and angst from within me. There are no longer any anxieties within me.(there should be 1,000,000 exclamation points behind that statement). ST JOHN NEUMANN has taken sorrow and sadness out of my being. He has healed deep scars.
ST JOHN NEUMANN is our most beloved Saint. His presence is always with me, as ST JOHN NEUMANN will make his presence known to you, if only you pray to him in Jesus' name (and through His most Sacred Heart and through The Immaculate Heart of our most beloved mother, The Blessed Virgin Mary). ST JOHN NEUMANN will be with you, he will make his presence in your life known to you. How could anyone not want to know their Saint is with them all the time??
Please pray to ST JOHN NEUMANN. And of course, pray to our new, ST JOHN NEWMAN!
God bless you
Thank you Bishop for making this wonderful video available to us, at the right moment ! God bless 🙏🏻😊
God bless youJohn Harrison
Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman, pray for us.
Thank you Bishop, this was inspiring to watch!
Bishop Barron l love you...
Such food for thought again! Thanks Bishop!
Appreciated... very informative and reflective! God bless us. St. John H. Newman, pray for us.
This was so kind of you to release one for free!!
I attended this evening mass here in Brompton Oratory, London. After the Benediction the priests blessed the leric of Cardinal Henry Newman
Relic?
I would love to go to the Oratories but time.
@Tom Jenkins What is wrong with the word "Mass"?
@Tom Jenkins "I'm going to church" does not equate to I am going to Mass. As a Church in this context is a building what you do in said building (while in a Catholic Context would be associated usually to Mass) is not answered. You can as a Catholic (and often if you are not) go to confession, get a book, talk to the Priest, Say a Rosary or seek Asylum. All of the actions are not the "Mass" so saying "I'm going to church" does not really help to ascertain what (in this case) Tess Chavit was doing. You might say "I am going to Mass does not mean that it would be in a Church" and this is correct but in the above comment (Tess') she says "I attended this evening mass here in Brompton Oratory, London." In this she gave the location and the action as well as the general time period meeting all the requirements for knowing what took place (approximately). This is why? ("goof balls"?)
@Tom Jenkins What are you on about I typed up the problems with not stating "Mass" instead of "going to church". Calling me a Religious KOOK does not help.
Thank you Father 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks Excellence! God bless you and yours collaborators! Greetings from an italian...from Rome!
Excellent! Thank you for posting.
God bless you and prosper with strength and peace in your good work amen thank you for presenting this good programme.
Excellent! Thank you so much Bishop Barron for this thoughtful documentary.
Love this it’s amazing !!
God Bless love from Liverpool England x
Thank you, Bishop Barron. What a beautiful, and inspiring presentation.
Thank you for posting this great video. He was a great English man, a great man. Please read his work.
Thank you very much. I shall pass it on:) Greetings from Poland:)
Congratulations on your canonization, St. John Henry Newman! Pray for us!
Thank you Bishop Barron. I enjoyed today this great Production once more. God bless you.
I’ve never been to the Birmingham Oratory but I have been to the Brompton Oratory a couple times. Beautiful!
Fintan Cummings Birmingham Oratory is a beautiful church
Beautiful presentation.
因為這部影片, 認識了一位偉大的聖者, 好好來研究一下. thanks a lot bishop Barron.
I think some of the terms enjoyed by Bishop Barron might only be of comprehension to a level beyond ordinary education. For me personally I love that he uses language at this level I would certainly appreciate more of this presentation style to uncover St. Augustine and John Henry Newman. Although Dr. Gregory Sadler's TH-cam is outputting short St. Augustine concept lectures this season.
Great. Thanks.
Godlordkingoftheunivers
Thank you Bishop Barron for this. I have heard Newman already before, but only read a few fragment of his massive works. In any case, I was just amused the way you carry yourself as the interviewer (Is it Brandon?) was asking you questions. You were like a little kid when asked questions with their usual innocence.
Pray for us!
Ora pro nobis!
Ruega por nosotros!
My gratitude 🙏
Wonderful and beautiful film.
Perhaps the foremost voice of the nineteenth century against modernism. How apropos his canonization on the coming weekend; how fitting this following the pagan desecrations of the weekend previous to it. We need Newman and Chesterton so very much.
A wonderful video.
This is great!
Dope! Thanks for the high quality production!
Considering what's going on in the Vatican RIGHT NOW, we really needed this; infallible Doctrine! No new humanism, no modernism and no paganism! Thank you, Bishop Baron.
Fantastic!
Thank you Bishop Barron for this brilliant video God Bless you and all involved in the making of all these videos 😇😇🙏🙏🙏
Bless you
A lot of the cavils among Christians in Newman's day seem anachronistic, but your discussion of his work on assent shows it to be as timely today as the entire core of the Christian message remains timely. I look forward to reading Ker's biography.
Thank you.
He references Juno 💖💖 I love it
JHN was correct that Subjectivism and sentimentalism (ie: Liberalism) are threatening classical Christianity (specifically Catholicism) from within. It is now worse than ever. St. John Henry Newman, pray for the Church.
