For all his attributes he will be remembered most of all for his steadfast love and defence of the Faith.<br /><br />It's disappointing that his great efforts in the field of ecumenism was not recalled. Without his efforts we would not be in the position we are today.<br /><br />The Churches have a lot to thank him for. If it were not for him we would still be squabbling over insignificant matters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-40888134307052282742011-09-05T18:30:25.596+01:002011-09-05T18:30:25.596+01:00I very much agree with Augustinius.I very much agree with Augustinius.Disbelievernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-21697983077433228092011-09-05T18:16:34.983+01:002011-09-05T18:16:34.983+01:00Whilst Bishop Ambrose was to a large extent a libe...Whilst Bishop Ambrose was to a large extent a liberal charismatic, we have to be pleased that it was he who allowed our regular Tridentine Masses. I too wonder which names were being blocked. Who knows had we had an Opus Dei or conservative bishop our diocese might be in a better state.David O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023042558615821880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-53707717043256280622011-09-05T14:40:19.334+01:002011-09-05T14:40:19.334+01:00I'd find it hard to believe that the late Arch...I'd find it hard to believe that the late Archbishop Couve de Murville was in the same stable as his then confreres in Westminster and Liverpool on this, or indeed, any other, matter. But who knows. <br /><br />It would be interesting, I suppose, to speculate on who they might have been trying to block!Augustinusnoreply@blogger.com
