Newman Against the Liberals

Ven. John Henry Newman died this day, August 11, 1890.

In 1978, Michael Davies brought out Newman Against the Liberals: 25 Classic Sermons, his selection from the cardinal's Parochial and Plain Sermons that refute "liberal" religious positions — that is, positions that deny the divine revelation, the supernatural, and the dogmatic in religion.

Here follow these sermons at Newman Reader.
