Cuthbert Butler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cuthbert Butler OSB, born Edward Butler (1858 – 1934), was a Benedictine monk of Downside Abbey in England, who gained notice as a Church historian. In 1906 he was elected the abbot of the community.[1]
Butler is known for The Vatican Council, his history of the First Vatican Council based on the correspondence of Bishop William Bernard Ullathorne, OSB, of Birmingham.[2] Gertrude Himmelfarb describes The Vatican Council as designed to support papal infallibility.[3]
He also wrote on mysticism.
