608 NEWMAN, JOHN HENRY. 



NEW MEXICO. 



dices that had hitherto prevented his country- 

 men from doing Newman justice. The motto 

 that he prefixed to it, Cor ad cor loquitur, was 

 singularly realized. Newman had at last reached 

 the heart of England. The "Apologia" came 

 out in seven parts between April 21 and June 2, 

 and the interest increased with each succeeding 

 number. Clerks were seen studying it as they 

 went to their offices in the morning, and preachers 

 made it the topic of their sermons. 



When the Vatican Council opened in 1869 

 Newman was one of the eminent theologians in- 

 vited to Rome to advise with the Holy See and 

 draw up the schemata which the fathers were to 

 consider. Though he declined, he paid close at- 

 tention to the proceedings of the Council. Like 

 many other Roman Catholic dignitaries, he 

 doubted the expediency of a definition of the 

 doctrine of Papal infallibility; but he had be- 

 lieved and taught the doctrine itself long before 

 the Council assembled, and when it was defined 

 he accepted it without hesitation. The great 

 oratorian being now regarded by all parties as 

 one of the glories of contemporaiy England, it 

 was considered that the time had arrived for a 

 formal recognition of his genius and virtue. No 

 one, then, was surprised when Trinity College 

 offered him an honorary fellowship in 1877, 

 although he was the first Catholic to obtain 

 this distinction since the Reformation. His re- 

 turn to Oxford, after an absence of more than 

 thirty years, was in the nature of a triumph. He 

 was the guest of the President of Trinity and 

 was received by all the members of the uni- 

 versity corporation as a master. 



Modest and simple amid all the honors show- 

 ered upon him, Newman hesitated long before 

 accepting the dignity of the purple in 1879. For 

 some weeks a paragraph in the " Times " headed 

 " Cardinal or not Cardinal " created almost as 

 much excitement as that which attended the ap- 

 pearance of the " Apologia." To take away every 

 pretext for a refusal, Leo XIII dispensed him 

 from the obligation of residing at Rome, a re- 

 quirement demanded from cardinals who are not 

 bishops. He arrived in Rome on April 24, 1879. 

 His health was much affected during his stay in 

 the city. The formal announcement of his crea- 

 tion as cardinal deacon was brought to him on 

 May 12 at the Palazzo del Pigna, where he was 

 the center of a brilliant throng of American and 

 English Catholics and of high dignitaries, lay 

 and ecclesiastical. The address that he delivered 

 on the occasion excited universal admiration. 

 " It was," wrote Dr. Pusey, " a beautiful speech, 

 the old John Henry Newman speaking out the 

 truth, yet not wounding a single heart." He was 

 assigned the Church of San Georgio as his title, 

 and thus became the Cardinal of St. George. He 

 returned by slow stages, and reached Edgbaston 

 on July 1. He continued to govern his monas- 

 tery and direct the school he had founded as in 

 the past, at the same time regularly making his 

 own bed and setting his sleeping-room in order 

 every morning after rising at 5 A. M. Cardinal 

 Newman passed away peacefully, surrounded by 

 his spiritual children. 



His works comprise more than 40 volumes, 

 ranging through all the forms of literature.

 Popular Protestantism" (1837); "Letter to J.
