Letters: The Newman line that inspired me to convert

Newman inspired me to come home

SIR – John Owen writes (Letters, October 25) that St John Henry Newman’s “greatest miracle has been the conversion of the thousands of people who have been brought into the Catholic Church as a result of his writings and explanations of the faith”. He is quite correct and I am one of those thousands.

I read about the then Blessed Cardinal Newman in April 2017 and saw that the Roman Catholic communion is the Church of the Apostles, and that there is only one Church which can be seen to stretch back in an unbroken line to the Apostles and to Christ himself. I was inspired by one particular Newman quotation: “Catholicism is a deep matter, you cannot take it up in a teacup.”
