It's time that Catholics rediscover Father Henry James Coleridge, a giant of English Catholic history. This is his initial obituary in The Month review, ‘of which he was practically the founder.’
These words are perfectly true, and an apt tribute for a writer (it seems to me) who humbly and patiently leads his grateful readers to join him on the same devout quest:
"Father Coleridge succeeded in bringing out elements of intelligent estimate of Our Lord’s Life which do not lie on the surface, but form an illuminating background to the pictures drawn for us by each of the four Evangelists."
