About
What is the
Newman Academy?
The Newman Academy is a space for Christian thought inspired by the teaching of Cardinal Newman, developed by Saint John Society in collaboration with the Asociación Amigos de Newman in Argentina.
Faith + Reason
We want to reclaim reason as an ally of the Christian faith. We are proud of the intellectual heritage of Christianity, and we believe that Cardinal Newman was a master at transmitting that heritage to the world of students.
We continue its mission by illuminating the proposed topics through videos, writings, and personal contact of some of the Fellows with those who request it.
We seek to facilitate access to a space of thought in which you can train yourself and receive answers to your intellectual questions.
- Cor ad cor loquitur
We have experience that it is through personal, living, heart-to-heart influence (cor ad cor) that the light of the Christian faith and its reasonableness are most effectively transmitted.
That is why the mere dissemination of ideas is not enough, but rather personal contact and sincere dialogue so that the truth takes root within each person and transforms the world.
FROM SHADOWS AND IMAGES TO THE TRUTH
“Ex umbris et imaginibus in veritatem”
Newman’s entire life was a progressive advancement of his fundamental intuitions, from his first conversion at the age of 15 to the development of a living and articulate Christian thought, which continues to be studied throughout the world, and which finally led him to his Catholic faith. We believe that deepening the rational foundations of faith does not imply sacrificing reason, but on the contrary gaining a mental center from which to incorporate everything that is true, beautiful and good.
We want to help you follow a similar path!
The Saint John Society is an apostolic community inspired by the public life of Jesus, totally dedicated to the announcement of his message.
The first and fundamental certainty that animates the Society of Saint John is that Christ and the New Life that He offers is the first and most profound factor of change and transformation of the person, of his environment and of the world.
The Asociación Amigos de Newman was founded in 1990, on the occasion of the Centenary of the death of Cardinal John Henry Newman. They disseminate, through the Newmaniana magazine, Conferences and Seminars, workshops and other activities, translations of sermons and original content, the thought of Saint John Henry Newman.
