Cardinal Newman on the path to sainthood?

This is great:

The Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman, 1801-1890, the best-known English churchman of the 19th century, may be beatified later this year according to the Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome.

Last month Cardinal José Saraiva Martins said that he hoped that the beatification of Cardinal Newman, founder of the English Congregation of the Oratory of St Philip Neri, would happen this year.

Fr Paul Chavasse, the Provost of the Birmingham Oratory in Edgbaston, where Newman spent much of his Catholic life, said: “We are much encouraged that Cardinal Martins has indicated that the beatification of our founder Cardinal Newman might take place later this year.”
