God’s revealed word is our sovereign rule of conduct; and, therefore among other reasons, is faith so principal a grace, for it is the directing power which receives the commands of Christ, and applies them to the heart.”

Beautifully said.

Even eminent theologians can be lost, in need of redemption same as the rest of us. Even respected members of the academy need to accept the Lordship of Christ. Being a professor of religion gets you no special pass and apparently promises no special insight.

Cardinal Newman certainly had a way with words. Even his strongest statements show a big, loving Grace!
