Platonist- especially insofar as it asserts

are an imperfect and transitory reflection.

Summed up to be enthusiastically devoted to
his studies thus earning him a scholarship in

Oxford Movement-
"The conception which lay at its base," according tothe Royal Commission on Ecclesiastical Discipline,1906, "was that of the Holy Catholic Church as a
visible body upon earth, bound together bya spiritual but absolute unity, though divided intonational and other sections. This conception drewwith it the sense of ecclesiastical continuity, of theintimate and unbroken connection between the
primitive Church and the Church of England, and ofthe importance of the Fathers as guides andteachers

. It also tended to emphasize points
of communion between those different
branches of the Church, which recognize
the doctrine or fact of Apostolic Succession
8/6/2019 Cardinal John Henry Newman
12/22
I AM A CATHOLIC by virtue of mybelieving in a God; and if I am askedwhy I believe in a God, I answer that it isbecause I believe in myself, for I feel itimpossible to believe in my ownexistence (and of that fact I am quitesure) without believing also in theexistence of him, who lives as a
Personal, All-seeing, All-judging Being inmy conscience ... A religious mind isever marveling, and irreligious menlaugh and scoff at it because it marvels.
8/6/2019 Cardinal John Henry Newman
13/22
A religious mind is ever looking out of itself, is
ever pondering God's words, is ever "lookinginto" them with the angels, is ever realizing to
itself him on whom it depends, and who is the
center of all truth and good.
Carnal and proud minds are contented with
self; they like to remain at home; when they
hear of mysteries, they have no devout curiosity
to go and see the great sight, though it be everso little out of their way; and when it actually
falls in their path, they stumble at it.
8/6/2019 Cardinal John Henry Newman
14/22
As great then as is the differencebetween hanging upon the thought ofGod and resting in ourselves, lifting up
the heart to God, and bringing all thingsin heaven and earth down to ourselves,exalting God and exalting reason,measuring things by God's power andmeasuring them by our own ignorance,
so great is the difference between himwho believes in the Christian mysteriesand him who does not.

And were there no other reason for the
revelation of them but this gracious one, of
raising us, refining us, making us reverent,
making us expectant and devout, surely this
would be more than a sufficient one.

The central argument was that assent or
belief is arrived at not primarily through logic
or demonstration, but by the whole man

This was a response to Kingsleys Pamplet:
What, Then, Does Dr. Newman Mean?
He defended with passion from hisexperience. This contained both actions and
feelings.
Here he focuses on himself or as he said
What has gone on within me. He focuses
on his inner mind.
