This was the moment when Cardinal Semeraro, prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, read before the Pope the life and works of Saint John Henry Newman.
Afterward, Pope Leo XIV pronounced this formula in Latin, officially granting him the title of ‘Doctor of the Church.’
LATIN FORMULA
Nos, vota plurimorum Fratrum in Episcopatu multorumque christifidelium totius orbis explentes, de Dicasterii de Causis Sanctorum consulto, certa scientia ac matura deliberatione deque apostolicæ potestatis plenitudine Sanctum Ioannem Henricum Newman Ecclesiæ Universalis Doctorem declaramus. In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
