4. The Roman Catholics (Modernization of Catholic Church)
In fact. until recently Roman Catholic Church has been predominantly negative towards the modern world. But with Pope John XXIII the key word became 'modernization', bring the Roman Catholic Church into the twentieth century.
(1) John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
1) He was born in 1801 into an Evangelical family. He studied at Oxford and in 1822 because a Fellow of Oriel College. He died in 1890.
2) He was deeply influenced by various Calvinist writings and underwent an evangelical conversion. And his Evangelical convictions were undermined.
3) He experienced a drift towards Liberalism. Then he received a strong impulse in a different direction, from John Keble, who pointed him to the early Church Fathers and this influenced his thinking in a Catholic direction (Evangelism - Liberalism - Catholicism).
4) He challenged the fixed, unchangeable doctrine of Christianity, both Protestantism and Catholicism. He insisted that Changes came because doctrine develops and such growth or development over the age; the unsystematic doctrine of the Bible needs to be ordered and arrange; there is the need to react to false teaching; new ages pose new questions which demand new answers, therefore change and development are inevitable.
5) He gives seven tests of a faithful development of doctrine. These include a continuity of basic principle throughout the development. a logical sequence from one doctrine to another and the test of time. He use all of these tests to defend Rome Catholic development in doctrine.
6) He was the most leader of the Oxford movement, which was a kind of Ultramontanism (cf. Romanticism) against the Catholic Church. By this Oxford movement many students converted to the Catholic Church, and One hundred pastors of Anglican Church was transferred to that church.
7) He, in a sense, was the greatest reformer of Roman Catholic Church, thus it has been claimed, with tongue in cheek, that in the long run it was the Roman Catholic Church which was converted to Newman, not vice versa.
