Quotes about Louis Aleman The cardinal showed heroic courage in tending the plague-stricken. He was also a diligent promoter of the decree passed by the council in favour of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady. His violent action at Basle seems to have resulted from an earnest desire for the reform of the Church, and having made his submission to Nicholas V, he is believed to have done penance for his former disloyal and schismatical conduct. He died shortly after in the odour of sanctity. His private life had always been a penitential one. Herbert Thurston, Bl. Louis Allemand (1913) Catholic Encyclopedia There is not in the history of heroism a figure more forlorn and pathetic than that of the President of the Council of Basel.
