The second pillar of Newman’s intellectual and spiritual quest was historical research. He researched on his Church’s past not as an uninvolved observer, but as a living intelligence with a sincere commitment to personal knowledge of the truth. He did not want to make hasty decisions, but to mature his own response. In his historical studies, we can also see his personal system in action: real assent, real words, method of personation, certitude and conscience.
