In a recently posted article on St. John Henry Newman (See: [*St. John Henry Newman's Elevation as Doctor of the Church Seen as a Gift for Our Times*](https://www.ncregister.com/news/pentin-newman-doctor-providential)) , Fr. [Ignatius] Harrison who commented on five key teachings of the Saint only briefly addresses Newman's thoughts on the importance of the laity and their role in the Church: "that the laity is not supplementary' but crucial to the very foundation of the Church, and that he wanted an informed, and well-educated laity for the Church's mission.'" QUESTION: Can anyone expand in more detail St. John Henry Newman's teaching on the importance of the laity and their role in the Catholic Church? Primary references are appreciated. Thank you.

According to St. John Henry Newman (in his essay on Conscience): However, [*Papal Encyclicals Online*](https://www.papalencyclicals.net/councils/ecum12-2.htm#25) , says nothing of the sort. Unlike previous Councils, the proceedings were not formally recorded. Hence, we must rely on other sources which provide accounts from observers of the Council. Question: Can someone produce evidence that the Fourth Lateran Council promulgated what Newman indicates on conscience?

In his essay "*The Syllabus*" (which refers to the *Syllabus of Errors* attributable to Pope Bl. Pius IX.), St. John Henry Newman writes: The above is taken from pg. 105 of [*Newman's Letter to the Duke of Norfolk*](https://ia904704.us.archive.org/10/items/a678635200newmuoft/a678635200newmuoft.pdf) QUESTION: What does the line in Greek translates into, and which Greek Tragedy is St. John Newman alluding to? Here's the OCR of the Greek text (in Unicode UTF-8): οὔπωε τὰν Διὸς ἁρμονίαν θνατῶν παρεξίασι βουλαί.

[*Fr. Frederick William Faber*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_William_Faber) became a member of the Oxford Movement under the leadership of St. John Henry Newman et al. in the 1830s. Many of its members, as a result of the condemnations levied upon the group by the Church of England at the time, lost their status at Oxford (e.g., William G. Ward) and/or became Catholics---such as Ward, Newman and Faber (the latter two, of whom, had also previously taken Anglican orders.) Though Faber lived a relatively short life (49 years), he was a prolific writer and a zealous supporter of the Catholic Church. His writings, *e.g.*, [*The Precious Blood*](https://ia802701.us.archive.org/23/items/ThePreciousBlood/ThePreciousBlood_text.pdf) deal with topics most apropos to the confusion the Church is now suffering in the form of many clerics who promote ``gospels'' different from the *only one* preached by the Apostles. QUESTION: Has the cause for Sainthood of Fr. Frederick William Faber ever been formally proposed by someone (a group) devoted to the effort?
