May the Lord help you to become a society in which everyone, each according to their respective responsibilities, works ever more fully to serve the common good rather than private interests, bridging the gap between the privileged and the disadvantaged. May there be greater room for freedom, and may the dignity of the human person always be safeguarded.

In making today’s announcement Pope Leo XIV says St. John Henry Newman is being made a Doctor of the Church for his decisive contributions to “the renewal of theology and to the understanding of the development of Christian doctrine.”
