"Xavier Rynne's" "Vatican Council II" is still in print @OrbisBooks. In reissuing this work in 1999 I asked the author, Redemptorist priest Francis X Murphy to write a new foreword in which he described how, by means of "assiduous casuistry" he maintained his anonymity.

In my father’s office there is a closet piled to the ceiling with boxes of photos. I spent hours gleaning for traces of my own life. Found only a handful of pictures of us together.

Among the many boxes of photos from Vietnam and of his life with my stepmother Patricia I was moved to discover that his primary subject—recorded in 10s of 1000s of photographs was close-ups of flowers. Just like mine. Beauty.
