Jean-Marie Lustiger

French Catholic cardinal (1926–2007)

In the history of literature, Jean-Marie Lustiger is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Jean-Marie Lustiger as French Catholic cardinal (1926–2007).

Jean-Marie Lustiger was born at 12th arrondissement of Paris in 1926. His recorded nationality is France. He was educated at Faculty of Arts of Paris and Catholic University of Paris.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

Jean-Marie Lustiger is described as theologian, writer and catholic deacon.

A writer's real subject usually becomes visible only across the whole body of work.

Formal recognition came in the shape of the Knight of the French Order of Academic Palms.

That the work was done from France matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Death came in 2007, at 81. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
