Today is the eighteenth anniversary of the death of the great Anglican theologian — believed by many to have been the greatest Anglican theologian of the last century — Eric Mascall. In Eric Lionel Mascall as Anglican Patrimony , my friend William Tighe offers a tribute to his friend, with a brief biography and a reflection on how Mascall might have responded to Benedict’s offer of an ordinariate for Anglicans who want to become Catholics. Bill adds another story in the comments.
