We Lost Nothing Less than a Hero

Cardinal Avery Dulles died today at the age of 90. NYT obituary

I look forward to read more of his work. I am sad that I have not read much.

There is a thought provoking and inspiring quote in the article: "His task as a theologian, the Cardinal often said, was to honor diversity and dissent but ultimately to articulate the traditions of the church and to preserve Catholic unity."

I hope that we can all be open to different theological strands, appreciating and incorporating the good they have to offer, while at the same time always maintaining and promoting the unity of the Church.

Eternal rest grant to him O Lord...
