Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Preface to About Bishop Butler
- There is yet no full biography of Bishop Butler, in spite of his leading role in the Second Vatican Council and his place as England’s pre-eminent theologian of the twentieth century. However, several authors have written about him and they and their publishers have kindly allowed us to reproduce their work on this website. In addition, other shorter memoirs have been made available by people who knew Bishop Butler in various aspects of his life. We are grateful to the writers who have made their memoirs available. Sister Anne Flood, whose warm ‘Personal Memoir‘ is available, is an American Sister of Charity. Her PhD thesis was on Butler’s ecclesial thought and her bibliography of Butler’s writings is the most complete available. She has kindly made this major work available for this website. John Hayes offers an equally warm, almost domestic, tribute to the man he knew at St Edmund’s College, Ware in Hertfordshire. Hayes would frequently serve Mass for the Bishop in his private chapel. In addition, there are extracts from the tributes and obituaries in the section ‘In Memoriam’.
