Talk:The Newman Society

message: J. R. R. Tolkien spoke to the Newman Society in the 1880s? This was quite an achievement for the precocious Tolkien who was not born until 1892. Fys. Ta fys aym. 14:58, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Tolkien

message: I understand from the John Henry Newman article's discussion page that there's more than one Newman Society in Oxford, and that OUNS is in dispute with a society that claims to have continuity with the historic Newman Society.  This is an interesting development, and one that's worthy of note in this article. Countersubject 15:18, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Multiple Newman Societies

message: "The Oxford University Newman Society (est. 1878) is arguably Oxford University's oldest student society,"
Can any interested editor support this statement? Both OICCU and OUMS appear to precede it. 79.73.100.28 00:19, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:BRIDESHEAD.jpg

message: In spite of what the editor with the log-in name "NewmanSociety" has claimed in his edit summary, the RCC does not call celebration according to the 1962 Roman Missal the extraordinary form, but only an extraordinary form of the Roman Rite of Mass.  There is today only one ordinary form of the Roman Rite (cf. canon 910 on the ordinary minister of Holy Communion (bishop, priest or deacon), and the variety of people to whom the term "extraordinary minister of Holy Communion" can be applied); any other form of the Roman Rite (the 1962 form, the 1961 form, the 1954 form ...) is out of the ordinary, extraordinary.
"NewmanSociety" also claimed that the Wikipedia article extraordinary form of the Roman Rite supports his view. It does not.  It says explicitly: "In the motu proprio, and in the accompanying letter that he sent to the Bishops, Pope Benedict designated the 1962 form an extraordinary form, not the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite".  The article provides quotations from these two papal documents to show what the Pope does call it.  Unless "NewmanSociety" is a sedevacantist, he must surely accept that what the Pope calls the 1962 form is what the RCC calls it.  While certain quarters have taken to calling the 1962 form the extraordinary form, that is not what the RCC calls it.
I have taken the liberty, while dealing with this matter, to raise the question whether prominence is in fact achieved when a newspaper prints one's letter to the editor.  Perhaps I am wrong in doubting whether this really is prominence. 
A kind request to "NewmanSociety": Please don't mark almost all your edits as "minor", when many seem not to be minor.  Esoglou (talk) 21:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
