Newman’s influence is not relegated to the English-speaking world only; rather, it can be seen in the Spanish-speaking world as well. 

Lingard remarked upon Newman’s career several times in his correspondence, usually with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity.   

As an archivist, I was incredibly excited by the platform and conceptualization of access that NINS was creating, showing a forward-thinking vision that was almost unheard of at the time. 

The book Telling Stories that Matter: Memoirs & Essays is comprised of O’Connell’s late-in-life memoirs of how he became interested in the academic study of history, as well as some of his shorter essays and book reviews. 

Just last month, on February 20th, Pope Francis declared that the nineteenth-century Passionist priest, Fr. Ignatius Spencer, would be known as the Venerable Ignatius Spencer.

In 1875 John Baptist Purcell wrote to Newman that some in the United States were opposed to a pamphlet he published in a Catholic Liverpool paper.
