Ecclesiology was so important during my seminary formation that it was one of only two courses that ran for two semesters. The name of our lecturer was ‘‘Anton-Henn”. Only once it began did we discover that Anton-Henn was supposed to be a double-act. Fr Anton was a Jesuit who theoretically taught part one, but the second semester began and still there was no sign of Fr Henn. Speculation about his status proliferated. Was Anton-Henn perhaps like Jekyll and Hyde, really the same person? One day during a lecture a friend handed me a portrait he had been doodling. The head and likeness of Fr Anton were perched above the body of a large chicken dressed in a clerical collar and labelled ‘‘Anton the Henn’’.
