In memory of Avery Cardinal Dulles

Avery Cardinal Dulles has passed away. Requiescat in pace.

A couple of years ago, I had the chance to meet him. I asked him a question about “the privileged place of Anglicanism” in the documents of Vatican II, and he was quick to remind me that the Orthodoxy held that place and the Lutherans were quickly replacing Anglicans as the most “Catholic” Protestants.

He was sharp.
