New Hunthausen bio depicts Seattle prelate as Francis before Francis (Crux)

While the Vatican placed Hunthausen under investigation for matters related to liturgy and doctrine, he had garnered a reputation for his calls for unilateral nuclear disarmament at the height of the Cold War - a position that put him at odds with President Ronald Reagan. Some have speculated that Reagan’s close relationship with Pope John Paul II motivated the Vatican’s crackdown against Hunthausen.

In his new biography, A Disarming Spirit: The Life of Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen, Frank Fromherz explores that history and analyzes what made Hunthausen one of the most storied churchmen of the 20th century...


A truly inspiring figure.

Edited to add: While unsuccessfully searching for this book on Amazon, I found an older biography:

A Still and Quiet Conscience: The Archbishop Who Challenged a Pope, a President, and a Church by John A. McCoy
