Converts to Rome
To be a Christian is to be a convert. The
word “convert” applies equally to cradle-born Catholics and to those who become
Catholics as adults. The Catholic Church is the divinely established framework
of the program of a conversion, which Christ presented as a thorough change of
mind and heart (metanoia). While for a cradle-born Catholic the implementation
of that program is usually a gradual process, for converts it contains a
momentous act as they vote, so to speak, with their feet, on behalf of Truth, by
joining the Church as the One True Fold, the Sole Ark of Salvation, to recall
hallowed phrases dear to John Henry Newman, easily the greatest convert during
the nineteenth century. The three quotations on the inside back cover come from
three eminent English converts. What they state contains more theological truth
than scores of volumes of the “new” ecclesiology which contains no calls for
conversions.
The list of notable converts as given in this book is far
from complete. The Introduction explains the norms of selection and contains an
appeal for further information about such who should have been included here.

Converts From Britain and Ireland in the 19th Century
The nineteenth century was a great period in
the history of Britain and Ireland for conversions to the Catholic Church. Most
of these converts came from Anglicanism, but they represented a wide range of
interests and expertise. There were poets (for example, Hopkins, Dowson and
Patmore), artists (Beardsley), men of law (Arnold and Hope-Scott), architects (Pugin
and Scott), clergymen (Faber, Manning, Martindale and Newman) and
representatives from many other trades and vocations. Some were eminent even
before their “move to Rome,” others almost completely unknown. Some found fame
on their conversion, others suffered greatly for their zeal for the one true
fold of Christ. Some came into the Church relatively early in life, whilst
others entered at the final hour, even whilst on their death bed.
The aim of this book is to summarize their lives and explain
(by reference to quotations from their writings) why they entered the Catholic
Church.
This volume is a companion to the author’s earlier book,
Converts to Rome: A Guide to Notable converts from Britain and Ireland during
the Twentieth Century, also published by Real View Books.

Apologetics as Meant by Newman
The gist of apologetics as Newman meant it, lies in a vivid awareness of the enormity of sin as an offense against a most holy God. In this book the author first analyzes the Grammar of Assent and then presents Newman’s ideas on the four Notes of the Church, doctrinal development, Church and Culture and Catholic universities-all of them presented with no apologies whatsoever.

Anglican Difficulties
Based on lectures he delivered in 1850, Newman's book argues that Anglo-Catholics, who take seriously their Catholic aspirations, have no choice but to join Rome. It has been called "prophetic" for our times.

The One True Fold: Newman and His Converts
A fascinating glimpse of the most prominent convert of our time and thse who followed him. Now that the Church has officially recognized the heroic character of his virtues, it is not daring to say that his conversion was truly a heroic act in the moral sense.

Neo-Arianism as Foreseen by Newman
Newman's first major book, The Arians, presents the Arians dispute as a moral contestation about the pivotal Christian doctrine, the Incarnation of the Son of God, the Savior of mankind. Fr. Jaki deals with the making and contents of The Arians and its reception or rather shameful slighting and neglect.

JUSTIFICATION as Argued by Newman
Though not always an easy reading, the Lectures on Justification were much disputed and mostly opposed by Anglicans. On reading the Lectures he had to reconsider at almost every step the notion Anglicanism inherited from Luther about merit as belonging solely to Christ. Newman argued, and always with an eye on Luther, on behalf of real sanctification through grace and sacraments and it was not difficult to see that the Lectures were an unwitting plea in support of Rome’s stance on the subject.
