To Be Perfect Is to Have Changed Often: The Development of John Henry Newman's Ecclesiological Outlook, 1845-1877

By Ryan J. Marr

This study traces John Henry Newman's view of the church during the Catholic period of his life. The author argues that Newman's ecclesiological perspective transitioned from emphasizing the authority of the pope and bishops to incorporating active roles for theologians and the lay faithful as a counterbalance to the ruling office of the church.
