I don't know why, but I have never been quite convinced about Newman, though many hold him to be a very saintly man. It is odd that such an influential Catholic convert has not yet been beatified. Perhaps Rome knows more than we do? There are often very good reasons for these sorts of oversights.

Although Cardinal Newman was highly regarded by many, his personal life, from what l have been told, may be the answer why he hasn't been beatified.
