From Catholic World News
Writing for the Washington Post, Father C. J McCloskey refers to Cardinal John Henry Newman as a “revolutionary prophet.” But if liberal Catholics take comfort in that characterization, and think this column will place Cardinal Newman in their intellectual camp, they will be sorely disappointed with the quotation from Newman that appears later in the piece:
Liberalism in religion is the doctrine that there is no positive truth in religion, but that one creed is as good as another...it is inconsistent with any recognition of any religion as true... revealed religion is not a truth but a sentiment and a taste; not an objective fact, not miraculous, and it is the right of each individual to make it say just what strikes his fancy.
