Apologia Pro Vita Sua (A Defence of One's Own Life), John Henry Newman's defense of his religious beliefs, was published in 1864 in response to Charles Kingsley of the Church of England after Newman quit his position as the Anglican vicar of St. Mary's, Oxford. From 1833 to 1841 there was friction in the Church of England which culminated in Newman's 1845 resignation as an Anglican vicar and his conversion to Roman Catholicism.

San Pietro fu l'apostolo chiamato da Gesù a essere il primo papa con le parole: "Tu sei Pietro e su questa pietra fonderò la mia Chiesa". Divenne, insieme a san Paolo, fondatore della Roma cristiana stabilizzando la prima comunità di cristiani e testimoniando con il martirio la sua fedeltà a Cristo. Ma Pietro fu prima di tutto un uomo chiamato da Gesù a seguirlo dicendogli "Tu sei Simone il figlio di Giovanni; ti chiamerai Cefa, Pietro". Da semplice pescatore, Pietro divenne pescatore di anime. Fu tra i più intraprendenti e certamente il più impulsivo degli apostoli, sicuramente l'apostolo più vicino a Cristo.

Writer, preacher, counselor, educator, pastor of souls: all of these descriptions and more have been aptly applied to John Henry Newman (1801-1890).

His trust in God and his willingness to seek the truth eventually convinced him to seek ordination as a Catholic priest.
