"Anger at removal of Newman’s remains"

The story:

THE VATICAN’S decision to remove the earthly remains of Cardinal John Henry Newman from his grave in Rednal, Worcestershire, to a new grave at Birmingham Oratory, has aroused the wrath of campaigners who believe it to be a betrayal of the Cardinal’s last wishes — to be buried alongside his lifelong friend, who, like him, joined the Roman Cathol­ic Church, the Revd Ambrose St John.

They shared a grave and memorial stone at Rednal. Cardinal Newman wrote shortly before his death in 1890 — and had twice earlier insisted — “I wish, with all my heart, to be buried in Fr Ambrose St John’s grave — and I give this as my last, my imperative will. . . This I confirm and insist on.” (UK Church Times)

Oh please. Cardinal Newman, as a faithful son of the Church, would joyfully accept the ecclesiastical requirement to transfer his remains. After all - he has an official canonization to gain from it.

Let's remember - it's your eternal resting place that matters most.
