John Henry Newman yavukiye i Londres kuwa 21 Gashyantare 1801, apfira i Edgbaston kuwa 11 Kanama 1890. Ku ikubitiro yari umwangilikani, mu 1845 nibwo yahindukiriye ukwemera kwa Kiliziya Gatolika. Yiga muri kaminuza ya Oxford, nibwo yabaye Pasiteri mu Itorero Angilikani, aba icyamamare n’umwigisha ukomeye mu by’iyobokamana kubera no kwandika inyandiko nyinshi zigamije kurengera ubwigenge bw’Itorero ry’Abangilikani imbere y’ubutegetsi bw’u Bwongereza.

Ubushakashatsi bwe ku Bakurambere ba Kiliziya (les Pères de l'Église) ni bwo bwamutumye ahinduka, nyuma yo kumenya Kiliziya Gatolika ari yo irinda neza imizi y’ukwemera kwa Gikristu, bituma ayigana. Yahawe ubupadiri mu 1847, ashinga Umuryango “la Congrégation de l'Oratoire” mu Bwongereza, hanyuma ajya i Dublin gushinga kaminuza ya gikirisitu. 

Hari bamwe mu mu basaseridoti (clergé catholique britannique) batamwumvaga neza, mu gihe abo yasize mu Itorero Angilikani bamufataga nk’umuhakanyi (apostat). Kugira ngo asobanure impamvu z’ihinduka rye, yanditse igitabo Apologia Pro Vita Sua, cyamuhaye izina rikomeye.

Nk’uko Xavier Tilliette yabivuze, “ni umuntu wihariye cyane, umeze nk’Itara rya Pasika muri Kiliziya Gatolika y’ikinyejana cya 19.”
