The legacy of John Henry Cardinal Newman.

Why didn’t he ... join a religious order like the Jesuits?

He didn't have a high enough diversity score?

**But many more Oratories owe their foundation directly or indirectly to the influence of Newman’s house, particularly the Oratories in Germany, Austria, the United States, Canada and South Africa. In a very real way Newman can be said to be the modern refounder of the Oratory. He showed in the house he founded in Birmingham how St Philip’s sixteenth century community life of prayer and practical charity can be reinterpreted and lived in the modern world.**

I had no idea about the extent of Cardinal Newman’s reach with the Oratorians.

The Oratarains are one of the models and inspirations for the Society of the Holy Trinity.
