cardinal avery dulles

On October 12, Cardinal Avery Dulles went to Boston College to speak to students about the faith that the church is handing on. Born on August 24, 1918, he lived in New York and proceeded to complete his education at both Harvard and Harvard Law School. He joined the military in 1940, becoming a lieutenant. He was ordained a Cardinal even though he never became a priest, and at the age of 87 still teaches at college.
That night, Cardinal Avery Dulles spoke to a crowded lecture hall about his belief in faith remaining the same, even after previous years of conflict. His main message was to keep the church the same, and conflict will subside. By listening to Cardinal Avery Dulles, we are able to keep our faith, and pass it on to future generations of Catholics as well.
