It is interesting, fun, and informative, to read contemporary accounts of Newman's Trip to Rome.

You need to wear asbestos gloves and safety glasses, though. :shock:
Dig deeper.

Thanks for the link Soli.

I am Catholic but never knew why he was famous. I just know it's a name a popular boy's high school in Toronto. :oops: Girls would go "You studied at Cardinal Newman!" with this :love: in their eyes. It's our rival school, that's about it. We call them "Newman!" the way Sienfeld does it.

Okay, too much nonsense info there. :P
