Massachusetts Deacon Healed by Newman


A miracle in Massachusetts means Cardinal John Henry Newman is one step closer to sainthood. London’s Daily Telegraph reports Vatican consulters have approved a miraculous healing of a 69-year-old Marshfield, Massachusetts Catholic Deacon who was suffering from a severe disorder of the spine. The disease caused him to be “bent double.” After praying to Cardinal Newman, the deacon was healed. Pope Benedict XVI can now name Newman a Blessed. There is no word on when or where that will take place. Newman was an Anglican scholar who converted to Catholicism in the 19th century.
