This is how retired radical Vancouver Island Bishop Remi De Roo, 92, is being described by St. Mark’s College on the UBC campus, which is hosting his talk Thursday evening:
Bishop Remi J. De Roo is the last surviving bishop to have participated in all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council, which spanned 1962 to 1965.”
“A self-described “pilgrim” of the Council in the years since its closing, he has kept alive its goal of aggiornamento – the renewal of the Church as it relates with the world.”

Well-travelled De Roo has taken his lumps for championing the reforms and ecumenicism of Vatican II, including from Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict. Both suppressed many of the progressive ideals of Vatican II.
De Roo, who remains active, is much more in tune with the latest pope, Francis, who seems to have a more open, less-doctrinaire and more progressive streak (while staying true to core church traditions).
