Hello, Newman?

Hello, Newman? 2019-10-14T16:35:08-04:00

I’ve seen a number of people online refer to the newly canonized saint as “St. Newman.”

No.  That would be this guy.

I’m pretty sure they mean this one.

Just to be clear: we don’t refer to others as “St. Seton,” “St. Cabrini” or “St. Vianney.”

He’s “St. John Henry Newman.”

That is all. Carry on.
