Cardinal Saraiva Martins also revealed the beatification, latter this year, of the parents of St, Therese of Lisieux, Louis Martin and Azelia Guérin. The heroic virtues of the parents of St. Therese, who is now one of the most popular saints in the Catholic Church and a Doctor of the Church, were proclaimed on March 26, 1944.

You can read Cardinal Newman's Apologia pro vita sua here, in an online edition which includes his correspondence with Charles Kingsley. (Don't panic, everything but the title is in English.)

Kingsley doesn't come off well. This is one of the things that started me on the road to conversion.

It is well worth reading.
