(1801-1890) English Roman Catholic theologian. While still an Anglican, he wrote a series of Tracts for the Times, which gave their name to the Tractarian Movement (subsequently called the Oxford Movement) for the revival of Catholicism. He became a Catholic 1845 and was made a cardinal 1879. In 1864 his autobiography, Apologia pro vita sua, was published.
Newman, born in London, was ordained in the Church of England in 1824, and in 1827 became vicar of St Mary’s, Oxford.
