Pope Francis would have enjoyed Seattle Archbishop Raymond
Hunthausen, when he moved out of the bishop’s mansion, when he drove his
sprawling diocese in an old VW bug, and when he preached a guileless
Gospel.
The problem for Hunthausen came in that he embodied the reformist Second Vatican Council at a time (the 1980′s) when icy, careerist authoritarians were reasserting top-down control of the Roman Catholic Church.
