Henri Didon

Fr. Henri Didon was a French Dominican priest who went around giving sermons, much like I do, only  his were stirring.  He was considered somewhat modern, like me, and this got him exiled for a few years.  As a young man he had been an outstanding athlete, unlike me who is merely mediocre.  As a school principal, he introduced sports as a key component of education.  He had a friend, Pierre de Coubertin, who happened to found the modern Olympics.  Fr. Didon spoke of "faster, higher, stronger" in sports.  De Coubertin liked that and it became the official motto for the Olympics.  We Catholics are influential everywhere, when we do what we love, in spite of being exiled for a while.
