Paolo Gulisano"L'abolizione dell'uomo"C.S. LewisRiflessioni sull'educazione con particolare riferimento all'insegnamento dell'inglese negli ultimi anni delle scuole elementariAdelphi Edizioniwww.adelphi.itTraduzione di Edoardo RialtiUn grido di allarme ironico e appassionato, nella tradizione di Swift e Chesterton, contro gli esiti sinistri dell'idolatria tecnologica.L'approdo al cristianesimo, per Lewis – «un pagano convertito in un mondo di puritani apostati», come lui stesso amava definirsi –, affonda le radici in tutto quanto nella filosofia, nei miti e nella letteratura lo aveva ammaliato, quasi che Platone e le saghe nordiche, i Salmi e le avventure di Artù e Merlino fossero indissolubilmente intrecciati. Ed è a difesa dell'antica sapienza che Lewis, con queste conferenze tenute al King's College di Newcastle nel 1943 e presto divenute un caposaldo della critica alla modernità e al suo culto della tecnologia, volle lanciare una generale chiamata alle armi. Prendendo le mosse dall'innocuo paragrafo di una grammatica per le elementari, Lewis, con la chiarezza del logico aristotelico, l'umorismo polemico di Chesterton e Swift e la forza immaginativa dello scrittore di fantascienza, bracca il relativismo che serpeggia velenoso nella nostra società, nei modelli educativi, nella propaganda e nel mercato dei consumi, e delinea l'ormai ineluttabile trionfo di una sinistra distopia tecnocratica. È possibile inventare nuovi valori in nome del progresso? Che cosa accomuna scienza e magia? Quale tirannide si annida in un sistema che recide i nessi con la tradizione universale e condiziona le coscienze? E soprattutto: che cosa significa essere e restare esseri umani? Interrogativi che si sono imposti prepotentemente nell'èra digitale, ma che Lewis aveva formulato con profetica chiarezza più di ottant'anni fa.Paolo Gulisano è nato a Milano nel 1959. È medico, cultore di storia della Medicina e saggista. Ha pubblicato nel 2002 la prima monografia italiana su Chesterton: Chesterton e Belloc: apologia e profezia ed è fondatore e vicepresidente della Società Chestertoniana Italiana.

Send us a textHow does someone assent to a proposition? By a jump of intuition based on many converging pieces of evidence.
Lent precedes Easter as a season of preparation. We are encouraged to pray, give alms, and fast. We invite Christ more into our lives this time of year so as to bring about greater conversion before the great feast of Easter. This blogcast explores “Letting Christ Reign in Your Lent" from the Ad Infinitum blog, written by Erin Donn, and read by Meghan Abando.“Jesus, let there be more of you and less of me.”This is the short prayer I was once encouraged to pray as a penance by a wise, older priest. As we find ourselves at the start of Lent, these words once again come to mind, and I would like to offer them for your contemplation.The Church offers the season of Lent as an opportunity to prepare Her children well for Christ's resurrection–both at the celebration of Easter (March 31 this year) and at His Second Coming. These preparations take the form of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving; the spiritual, penitential, and charitable practices we take up and the worldly things we put down. For forty days we walk into the desert, just as Jesus did, to humbly open ourselves to temptations and more fully offer our lives to the Lord. So what does that prayer–letting there be more of Jesus and less of me–have to do with Lent? Well…everything. In the first reading at Mass on Ash Wednesday, the prophet Joel extols us: “Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the LORD, your God” with your whole hearts (Joel 2:12). The Lord does not want to see what we can do of our own strength or will during this season; He wants us to see what He can do through us and the transformation He can work within us. Lent certainly calls for a degree of testing the limits of our comfort zones. More than this, it is an invitation to leave behind our will and consider the offerings and changes that will help us become more like Christ. As you reflect on your Lenten practices, consider asking yourself: “What can I offer to Jesus? How can I make more room for Him in my life? What can I let go of that will help me on this journey?” Approaching Lent in this way necessitates an act of surrender. It requires us to focus less on the material outcomes and more on the spiritual. This might mean to not give up ice cream like you do every Lent and instead, or additionally, prayerfully consider what areas of your life you have been keeping the Lord out of. St. John Henry Newman speaks to this in a sermon for the First Sunday of Lent: “...fasting is only one branch of a large and momentous duty, the subdual of ourselves to Christ. We must surrender to Him all we have, all we are. We must keep nothing back.” This, admittedly, is a challenging invitation, but remember that we are not doing Lent on our own. We are doing it with Jesus. This act of surrender necessitates reliance. And this reliance requires humility; an admission of our own weakness and powerlessness compared to Christ's great strength. When you want to snooze your alarm and eschew the morning prayer time you've committed to, offer that to the Lord. When you are tempted to join in the office gossip, ask for Jesus' strength. Ordinary as these offerings may be, that does not mean they are easy. If we have chosen to subdue ourselves for Christ's sake, we can trust that He will provide the grace and strength we lack.As Catherine Doherty writes in Season of Mercy, “Mortification and penance are a passionate response of a man to a Passionate Lover who is God.” In humbly striving to more fully do the will of the Father, we naturally make more room for Jesus. As you surrender yourself to Him this Lent, also rely on Him. He wants us, and the attachments that bind us, to shrink away only so that His mercy and love can reign more completely.“Jesus, let there be more of you and less of me.” Author:Erin Donn serves as the parish missionary at Immaculate Conception Church in Washington, DC.

On Divine Calls, by Cardinal John Henry Newman "Such are the instances of Divine calls in Scripture, and their characteristic is this; to require instant obedience, and next to call us we know not to what; to call us on in the darkness. Faith alone can obey them. But it may be urged, How does this concern us now?… For in truth we are not called once only, but many times; all through our life Christ is calling us. He called us first in Baptism; but afterwards also; whether we obey His voice or not, He graciously calls us still. If we fall from our Baptism, He calls us to repent; if we are striving to fulfil our calling, He calls us on from grace to grace, and from holiness to holiness, while life is given us. Abraham was called from his home, Peter from his nets, Matthew from his office, Elisha from his farm, Nathanael from his retreat; we are all in course of calling, on and on, from one thing to another, having no resting place, but mounting towards our eternal rest, and obeying one command only to have another put upon us" (Sermon 2 in John Henry Newman, Parochial and Plain Sermons [London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1899], 8:22–23).

Greg introduces Jacob, a 34-year-old software engineer (working in AI), husband, and father of soon-to-be-four who's recently come into the Catholic Church after a rich intellectual and spiritual journey from evangelical Protestantism. Jacob shares how reading the early Church Fathers, St. John Henry Newman, and even deep mystical works like St. Teresa of Ávila's Interior Castle gradually broke down his skepticism and drew him forward through beauty, truth, and the living tradition of the Church. Rather than tackling a laundry list of objections, Jacob describes how encountering the fullness of historic Christianity felt like discovering a vast, living civilization he'd only glimpsed from afar. This conversational two-part series begins here, with Jacob explaining the early steps that led him to cold-call a Catholic parish and start asking questions. Part 2 coming soon!

Desde el terremoto eclesial de la Disrupción de 1843 hasta la “edad de oro” de New College en Edimburgo, veremos por qué Cunningham fue considerado un defensor de alto calibre del calvinismo confesional: un polemista temido, un eclesiólogo de principios firmes y un historiador de la doctrina que convirtió la teología histórica en disciplina apologética. Exploraremos sus dos grandes frentes de batalla. Primero, la cuestión Iglesia–Estado: cómo su defensa de la “independencia espiritual” buscó salvaguardar la soberanía de Cristo frente al erastianismo y dar base teórica a una iglesia libre. Segundo, la tensión entre dogma e historia: su choque con las tesis de John Henry Newman sobre el “desarrollo de la doctrina” y el modo en que Cunningham intentó anclar la continuidad evangélica en la Escritura y en la herencia reformada. Pero este retrato no elude la sombra. Abordaremos la controversia de los “dólares manchados de esclavitud” y el grito “Send back the money!”, cuando una campaña abolicionista denunció la contradicción de una iglesia que reclamaba libertad frente al Estado mientras aceptaba donativos vinculados a la esclavitud. La negativa a devolver esos fondos expuso los límites éticos de una ortodoxia que podía sacrificarlo todo por un principio eclesiológico, pero titubear ante una urgencia moral flagrante. Cerramos con su legado: la recepción transatlántica de sus obras (especialmente en Princeton), la relectura crítica contemporánea y la pregunta que permanece abierta para hoy: ¿cómo sostener convicciones históricas sin perder sensibilidad profética?

Cardinal St John Henry Newman is a Catholic saint who lived in the nineteenth century and was canonised in 2019. In November 2025, he was officially declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Leo XIV. This is a title held by only 38 saints in the entire history of the church, and it is given to those whose writings are of benefit to the whole church. John Henry Newman was an Anglican priest and Oxford academic who converted to Catholicism and was eventually made a cardinal. He is one of the most significant Catholic figures of the nineteenth century, known for his academic brilliance and his personal holiness.

St. John Henry Newman (1801 - 1890) - Arguably the most famous convert since St. Paul, St. John Henry Newman defined the method for discerning the difference between legitimate growth and development in the Church, as opposed to the kinds of change that are really a deviation from Tradition and a corruption. Sorting this out led him to lose his trust in the Anglican communion, and in Protestantism in general, and unite with the Catholic Church. He would eventually be a cardinal, and he has been named co-patron of Catholic education, and now there are Newman Centers on college campuses across the US and the UK.

We explore the lasting impact of the Second Vatican Council and other ecumenical councils, including Ephesus, Chalcedon, Trent, and Vatican I. We examine why St. John Henry Newman is referred to as the “Father of Vatican II” and reflect on the legacy of St. John Paul II, 20 years after his death.
Cross-posted from the Catholic Culture Podcast with Thomas V. Mirus. Paul Shrimpton assisted in the process of making St. John Henry Newman a Doctor of the Church. He joins the podcast to discuss his involvement in the process, and his new book from Word on Fire Academic, "The Most Dangerous Man in England": Newman and the Laity. During his lifetime, Newman was a controversial figure within the Catholic Church in large part due to his views on the laity and his advocacy for their role in running Catholic schools. Shrimpton's book gives us a picture of Newman's view of the laity not only through his ideas, but through his practical endeavors in the world of education, his pastoral activity, and his deep and abiding friendships with many laypeople.

Do you ever feel like your prayer is pointless? You show up, but you feel nothing, "know" nothing, and it seems like you're just talking to the void. This experience of spiritual dryness is one of the most common and difficult challenges in the spiritual life, and it's the number one reason many people stop praying altogether. In this episode, we explore the practical and profound antidote to this dryness: faith and hope. We dive into John Henry Newman's powerful distinction between "notional assent" (simply knowing and explaining facts about God) and "real assent" (letting those truths radically change how you live). This shift is the key to understanding what to do when your prayer feels empty. We discuss how this concept, combined with St. Teresa of Avila's "determined determination," responds to dryness. It's not a sign of failure or God's absence; it's a critical training ground to build a faith that isn't dependent on feelings. In this episode, you will learn: The crucial difference between "notional assent" and "real assent" and how it impacts your prayer.Why looking for God in your feelings or natural understanding is like trying to "force God into something that would make him not God."How to understand dryness as the training ground St.John of the Cross calls "naked faith."Practical ways to apply "determined determination" and use hope as the fuel to persevere, even when prayer feels pointless.

This week on Respect Life Radio, join us for an engaging conversation with Msgr. Laurence Spiteri as he explores his newly-released book Newman for Our Time: Saint, Scholar, and Doctor of the Church. He delves into the life and legacy of St. John Henry Newman—recently declared a Doctor of the Church—and draws out how Newman's call to truth, conscience, and conversion speaks powerfully into today's culture of life and dignity. Msgr. Spiteri shares, “We do not have to give up to be like Christ but have to open up our entire life and all of its aspects so Christ can take it over”. For Newman, his conversion embodies a journey that we all are called to embrace. Every step taken towards Christ, is a step towards wholeness, communion and fulfillment that leads to mission here on Earth. Tune in for a powerful look at how Newman's heart-to-heart dialogue with God and humanity continues to inspire faithful living in our time. To learn more about Msgr. Laurence and to purchase his new book visit: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/newman-for-our-time/
St. John Henry Newman (1801 - 1890) was an Anglican priest and Oxford scholar who reasoned his way into the Catholic Church, with the help of the Church fathers. He spent the first part of his life and career as a Protestant, but once a Catholic, he made a lasting and significant contribution to Catholic thought and apologetics.

The third of our “Johns” of Series 17 is only the second native-born Englishman since the 8th century to be raised by the Church to the status of Doctor of the Church. It is because of this remarkable man, and what was done by Pope Leo XIV on 1 November 2025 in Rome, that I designed Series 17 to include these three Johns: John the Evangelist, John Chrysostom, and John Henry Newman. It is one thing to be a profound thinker, even a holy thinker of the great Mysteries of God and God's way with human beings. John Henry Newman was that. But it is quite another capacity for that same person to be able to stay in close to the way human beings actually are - Pope Francis spoke of pastors being “close enough to the sheep to take on their smell” - rather than as they ought to be. John Henry Newman was this also. There is a beautiful, articulate humanity that comes through in John's writings.In order to get a sense of this about John, I have chosen to concentrate attention on his justly revered Parochial and Plain Sermons (eight volumes of them), paying close attention to perhaps four of those sermons. Welcome to the conclusion of Series 17 of The Night School.
This week on “Jesuitical,” Ashley and Zac chat with Chris Cimorelli. Chris is the director of the National Institute for Newman Studies and the editor of the Newman Studies Journal, and an expert on St. John Henry Cardinal Newman, the newest doctor of the church. Ashley, Zac and Chris talk about: - Newman's journey from Anglicanism to the Church of Rome - Newman's many (and lasting) contributions to Catholic thought - Why Catholics of every theological stripe love Newman In Signs of the Times, Ashley and Zac discuss Pope Leo's recent comments on the importance of providing pastoral care to migrants being held in detention centers throughout the United States. They also look at Barcelona's Sagrada Familia basilica becoming the world's tallest church last week. Finally, they unpack the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith's new document on the proper titles for the Virgin Mary.

Pope Leo XIV has recently formally declared St. John Henry Newman—who was canonized only in 2019 by Pope Francis—a doctor of the Catholic Church, a recognition given only to 37 other saints in Catholicism's over 2000 year history. This places Newman among great figures like St. Augustine, St. Gregory the Great, St. Jerome, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Theresa de Avila, St. Catherine of Sienna, and the Little Flower, St. Therese of Lisieux. What is the significance of giving St. John Henry Newman—an Englishman and Anglican convert to Catholicism who was born over 200 years ago—this title? What is it about Newman's approach to communicating the faith that earned him this great honor—and why now? Equally important, how can contemporary evangelists draw inspiration from his work to proclaim the Gospel in a drastically different world, religiously and morally, from Newman's 19th century Victorian England? A listener asks for advice on how to give better homilies at Mass. 00:00 | Introduction 01:26 | Bishop Barron's recent domestic travels 03:20 | Defining "Doctor of the Church" 04:55 | Distinguishing doctors from saints 05:50 | John Henry Newman's brief biography 12:18 | Understanding the development of doctrine 17:41 | Safeguards against corruption 22:33 | The wholeness of the truth 25:34 | Newman: "To live is to change" 29:28 | The "illative sense" of the mind's assent to propositions 34:10 | Difficulties vs. doubt 35:54 | How Newman speaks to England now 37:55 | Listener question: How can priests improve preparation for homilies? 39:58 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast?

John Henry Newman (1801–1890), um dos mais notáveis pensadores religiosos do século XIX, realizou uma das jornadas mais intensas e influentes entre a tradição protestante anglicana e a Igreja Católica Romana. Seu pensamento representou uma tentativa sofisticada de reconciliar tradição, autoridade e modernidade, sem abandonar o impulso da fé. No entanto, ao mesmo tempo em que oferece valiosas contribuições à reflexão sobre a continuidade da fé, Newman também representa um modelo eclesiológico que precisa ser lido criticamente à luz da escatologia bíblica, da missão profética e do sistema representativo de governo adotado pela Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia. Neste episódio, exploraremos as ideias centrais de Newman, suas intersecções com a teologia adventista e seus contrastes. Faremos isso em cinco partes: (1) Doutrina como Desenvolvimento Orgânico, (2) A Igreja como Autoridade Vivente, (3) Concílio, Magistério e Unidade, (4) A Crise da Tradição na Modernidade, (5) A Aplicação à Estrutura Representativa e Profética da IASD.

"Human philosophy was beaten from its usurped province, but not by any counter-philosophy; and unlearned Faith, establishing itself by its own inherent strength, ruled the Reason as far as its own interests were concerned, and from that time has employed it in the Church, first as a captive, then as a servant; not as an equal, and in nowise (far from it) as a patron." St. John Henry Newman's Oxford Sermons, delivered during his time as an Anglican preacher at the University of Oxford, were instrumental in shaping the Oxford Movement, which sought to revive High Church traditions within the Church of England and ultimately led to many conversions to Catholicism. In addition to the profound influence these sermons had on both Anglican and Catholic theology, they also bore a personal significance for Newman's own conversion to Catholicism years later. These fifteen sermons, though deeply interconnected in theme and insight, are not sequential in nature; rather, each stands on its own as a distinct and self-contained reflection on faith and reason. Newman lays the groundwork for themes developed in later works, such as Grammar of Assent and Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine. In this fourth sermon, Newman demonstrates how Reason oversteps its bounds when it sets itself up as the legitimate judge of religious truth, over and against childlike spiritual discernment.
