John Henry Newman is now, officially, a Saint. I have some reverence in my heart for him, as I am also a converted Anglican. I received a brief introduction to him via a video series a while back, and there is only one thing that I remember from it.
In St. John Henry Newman’s life, he pursued what he called a “Middle Way”. He wanted Anglicanism to be a balance between Roman Catholics and Protestants. He converted when he realized that Truth is binary.
“Is this claim true?” It can only be yes or no. There is no middle way. When it comes to Truth, no compromise can be considered true. The evil one wants us to compromise with him. Meet in the middle.
Truth is uncompromising. There is no middle way.
