Edward Idris Cassidy
Edward Idris Cassidy AC was an Australian prelate of the Catholic Church who was president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity from 1989 to 2001. He headed the Commission of the Holy See for Religious Relations with the Jews. He spent most of his career in the diplomatic service of the Holy See both in Rome and overseas. He was made a cardinal in 1991.
"If the teaching of the Magisterium of the Church is seen simply as the laying down of laws, and not as the logical and often inevitable consequence of our faith, those who find themselves in these difficult pastoral situations will naturally see the Church as uncaring."
"I didnt miss much because I was having wonderful new experiences. I didn’t get home much because we went by boat back then. I found that I could fit in very well wherever I was."
