William Oddie helped me on my path to Rome
SIR – Your insightful and moving obituary (November 15) of the former Catholic Herald editor Dr William Oddie was a fitting tribute to an orthodox and influential Catholic.
Although I never had the privilege of knowing him personally, Dr Oddie was a truly inspiring personality in my spiritual journey into the Catholic Church.
During the 1990s, when I was a “young fogey” Anglo-Catholic, Dr Oddie’s literary outpourings helped determine me and many others to keep fighting for the “faith once delivered to the saints” within the communion of the Church of England.
