Here’s a little grist for the speculation mill: a biographical article about apostolic administrator Bp. Richard Lennon in Boston’s The Pilot mentions that he studied Math at Boston College for two years before he transferred to the seminary. Does this tell us anything about him? As an old math major myself, I figure that at their best, math devotees can be patient and clear-thinking, moved more by principles than by personalities, musically inclined, and with a firm sense of conviction. (People who don’t agree will consider them stubborn and opinionated.) We shall see.
