You’ve quite simply have to read this. It’s a wonderful wonderful wonderful story. I normally put links on the Reader but I was afraid that not enough people would see it so here it is.
Here’s the intro to the piece but you’ve got to check it out:
A renowned English Catholic writer, Stratford Caldecott, is in the last stages of his battle with prostate cancer, which he was diagnosed with in late 2011.
Caldecott, the GK Chesterton Research Fellow at St. Benet’s Hall, Oxford, has served prolifically in the Catholic publication industry for decades, both as a writer and editor, serving on the editorial board of the International Theological Journal, Communio, as well as T&T Clark publications, the Catholic Truth Society, as co-editor for Magnificat UK, and also his own literary journal, Second Spring. He received an honorary doctorate in Theology from the JPii Institute in Washington, DC.
I have met him and his family on occasion, and they are quite simply good, faithful Catholics. For this reason, while I was aware of his illness, I was rather amazed to hear of the latest turn of events as they unfolded.
