TWO DIMENSIONS
Following the Encyclical Fides et Ratio, of John Paul II, the WALSINGHAM PROJECT comprises two dimensions: a spiritual one and an intellectual one.
The Spiritual Dimension consists of the revitalization of the Prayer Crusade for the conversion of England, which was started by the Venerable Ignatius Spencer, a great convert from Anglicanism; and Blessed Dominic Barberi (who converted the famous John Henry Newman). Both were Passionist fathers who dedicated their lives to the conversion of England.
The Intellectual Dimension consists of the promotion of the book of Henry VIII, 'Defence of the Seven Sacraments', in order to help Anglicans and eventually Lutherans who are coming home to Rome to recover the correct perspective about the Sacraments, indulgences and papal primacy, as expounded by the founder of the Church of England, Henry VIII, prior to his falling into schism.
Henry VIII received the title of ‘Defender of the Faith’ by Pope Leo X. In the writing of the book 'Defence of the Seven Sacraments', he counted on the assistance of Saints Thomas More and John Fisher. It is a prime example of Catholic orthodoxy.
