A Press Release at 12:00 noon today confirms that the Holy Father will personally perform the Beatification of John Henry Cardinal Newman during his visit to the UK later this year.Apparently it will take place during a Mass in the Archdiocese of Birmingham on Sunday 19th September.
I think that the Holy Father's decision will be welcomed by all English Catholics, and must highlight not only his personal devotion to Cardinal Newman, but also his fatherly concern for England and its Catholics.
