English Cardinal on path to sainthood after 'miracle'
An American clergyman whose recovery from a spinal condition could lead to Cardinal John Henry Newman becoming England’s first non-martyr saint since the Reformation told yesterday of his amazement when his prayers were answered.
Deacon Jack Sullivan, from the US archdiocese of Boston, Massachusetts, described the moment in 2000 when the “agony” had left him and he had been able to walk, to the “utter amazement” of medical staff, after he prayed to the late Cardinal.
