Not everyone agrees that Newman was such a conservative guy (see here).

A church whose poster children are top-heavy intellectuals (especially with such low views of the Bible) is simply not everyone's natural home. Let me know when Catholics start bragging about their bumpkins.

Why was my first reply to this thread deleted? It's not a caucused thread.

As I said in that earlier deleted post, here are some articles by Catholics who don't think the super-intellectual, "the Bible is full of obiter dicta" Cardinal Newman was such hot stuff.
