Pope Benedict celebrated Mass in Birmingham today. At the Mass John Henry Newman was beatified.
Pope Benedict began his sermon by referring to the sacrifice made by the people of Britain in defeating nazi Germany. It was a moving and poignant introduction to his words. He spoke about how the writings of Newman are relevant for the teaching of faith today and how Newman saw the importance of the link between faith and reason.
He concluded by referring to Newman the priest, who cared for the sick and the old and how they turned out in large numbers to attend his funeral.
