Cardinal Dulles joins his Godfather, Father Christopher Huntington, my dear friend, in our Lord's embrace. I am grateful for knowing Avery and we've all been blessed by his richness of faith and humility.
May God bless him abundantly always,
Mark Joseph Williams

One of the many great things about Cardinal Dulles was that as a convert from Protestantism, he remained caring and lucid in his arguments in favor of his converstion, never belittling other religions. He was a model of Roman Catholic apologetics as well as a graceful, reflective priest with a healthy sense of humor. He was and is a real role model for his faith.

As pastor of St. Mary's in Auburn at the time of his becoming a Cardinal on February 21, 2001, I remember how warmly the people of Auburn felt toward Cardinal Dulles, their native son. May he rest in peace!

To the family of Avery Cardinal Dulles and his fellow Jesuits:
I, too, mourn the death of Cardinal Dulles and extend my deepest sympathy to you all. I have been an admirer, a friend, and pen pal of Cardinal Dulles for some time. In February, 2006, I mailed him 8 books on Auburn, NY and Cayuga County. I received several personally written responses from him, which I cherish.

He suffered grave injuries as a young Naval Officer in World War II. An American hero; an intellectual icon.
