Please - the Next Doctors of the Church.
Given their extraordinary depth of understanding, the exceptional quality of their orthodox theological works (eminens doctrina), the tremendous influence of their writings, and their proven sanctity (insignis vitae sanctitas) and intercession before God, is it not good and true that Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman and Saint John Paul II (Karol Karol Wojtyła) be acknowledged (Ecclesiae declaratio) as Doctors of the Church ?
In October of 2019, the Polish Catholic Bishops Conference formally petitioned Pope Francis to consider making Saint Pope John Paul II a Doctor of the Church in an official proclamation, in recognition of his contributions to theology, philosophy, and Catholic literature, as well as the formal documents (encyclicals, apostolic letters, bulls, motu proprio documents, homilies, and speeches) that he issued.
BURFORD, England, 22 OCT. 2008 (ZENIT) Did Cardinal John Henry Newman pick up where St. Bernard left off? Father Ian Ker thinks so; he claims that reading Cardinal Newman is like reading the great Church Fathers. The expert on Cardinal Newman and professor of theology at Oxford University shared with ZENIT how the venerable Oratorian was a pioneer in the renewal of theology, anticipated the Second Vatican Council and was a writer of great faith.
