San Carlo

My colleague here at NCR, and fellow Nutmegger, Rev. Richard McBrien has beat me to the punch with a fine commentary in Saint Charles Borromeo, and the profound influence he had on Angelo Roncalli, the future Pope John XXIII, who edited the "acta" of Borromeo's apostolic visitations of his archdiocese. The great reformer of Trent directly influenced the great reformer of Vatican II - heaven forfend. Do I discern a hermeneutic of reform?!!!
