...convert had a hard row to hoe. He tried to found a Catholic university in Dublin, and was thwarted; was promised a bishopric, which never came; was asked to make a translation of the Bible, and the plans fell through. But when Charles Kingsley, famed author of Westward Ho!, attacked him, calling him Jesuitical, Newman's series of replies (the Apologia pro vita sua) not only demolished Kingsley but reestablished Newman's reputation as the most important religious figure in England. He wrote the Apologia in seven weeks, sometimes working for 22 hours at a stretch. Says Biographer...
