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.

Like Mother Theresa? Brother Andre? I know they are not mentioned in the Bible so you probably missed them.

We always have: St. Francis of Assisi, the Cure of Ars, Solanus Casey, St. Bernadette, Ceferino Giménez Malla, and others. Bumpkins all.
