Rocco and Fr. Z are both reporting Avery Cardinal Dulles SJ has passed on to his eternal reward today. Cdl. Dulles was a towering figure in the Church in America and indeed a powerful intellectual force in the Church the world over. His work and the impact of his personna will be studied for years to come. When the Pope makes a special trip just to visit someone you know that person is truly special. Heaven’s gain is our loss.
Let us all pray for the blessed repose of his soul in the bosom of Abraham, that he may enjoy the splendor of the beatific vision.
Requiem aeternam dona ei Domine.
Et lux perpetua luceat ei.
Requiescat in pace.
Amen.
Anima eius et animae omnium fidelium defunctorum per misericordiam Dei reqiescant in pace.
Amen.
