Modernist liberal condemned by at least 260 previous Holy Pontiffs. Let's pray he made a good confession before facing the Master!

Cardinal Dulles was instrumental in my changing my course on Catholic Social Teachings from just running through encyclicals to stressing that the solution to social problems was evangelization. I am forever grateful to him for his kindness in spending a shole day with me and for his insights. May he rest in peace!

This is truly a sad day for the Church in America. The contributions of one American born Cardinal have made a global impact on the church.
