Despite the criticism, the mood of the gathering was one of elation over what England's John Cardinal Heenan described as the "tolerance and charity" of the bishops. The prevailing sentiment of the synod was so clearly in favor of reforms that it seemed unlikely that the Pope could long avoid implementing them. But no one challenged the Pontiff's supreme authority, or his right to delay acting upon or even to ignore what the prelates recommended...
...Most Reverend and Right Honorable Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury and Primate of All England, is hardly used to such epithets as "traitor" and "betrayer of Protestantism." But the ecumenical-minded Archbishop, 63, accepted an unprecedented invitation from John Cardinal Heenan, 63, to speak at London's Roman Catholic Westminster Cathedral.

"He spoke in a new language, but has not used any tricks which would embarrass those who will come later. This is authentic art, and it will be admired so long as men cherish beauty...
...staggering blow to the whole church." Guardian Columnist Geoffrey Moorhouse also saw it in those terms. "For Catholicism," he wrote, "it is a blow as bitter as the one Anglicans sustained 100 years ago when John Henry Newman departed for Rome." Davis' friend and superior, John Cardinal Heenan of Westminster, said only that he would pray "that God will guide him in all his undertakings...
