I wonder if Maria ter Steeg put in a good word for me. At any rate, the interview went well, except it was a little rushed because the Cardinal arrived late and had an appointment immediately following our session. He was self-assured and did not hesitate to give his opinion on Henri and his publications. He is no fan of the latter, although his comments about Henri were rather positive! I prompted him to talk at some length about the changes in Dutch Roman Catholicism after the Second Vatican Council, because these changes are part of the context in which Henri decided to leave Holland for good. The Cardinal has a reputation of being rather conservative - he prefers to call it 'orthodox' - and the interview illustrates it rather well. He was quite amiable and willing to participate in the project".

His feelings about Henri's books were mixed; he thought Henri overly 'spiritualised' social problems, something he also noticed when he visited Henri in New York City somewhere in the seventies. I wish I could have talked some more with him about the climate in the Dutch Roman Church and how he had come to grips with it. He made several self deprecatory comments with respect to the interview and did not seem convinced by my assurances that his observations were very useful.

Jan is gay and my impression is that he served as a confident to Henri who discussed his struggles with homosexuality with him. In the interview, Jan brought Henri's homosexuality to the fore. He believes Henri's restlessness and fatigue were related to his sexual struggles. Going by Jan's information, there is no doubt Henri engaged in sexual encounters, with one man in particular.

In fact, Henri got his heart attack on the eve of a trip to St. Petersburg were he was to go with Jan to make a TV program featuring Rembrandt's painting of the Prodigal Son that figured so prominently in Henri's book 'The Return of the Prodigal Son'. It is rather remarkable that Jan, who comes from an ultraconservative, Protestant background, ever got interested in Henri's work, let alone became a close friend of him. Just like Ron van den Bosch, he reminded me sometimes of Henri because of the way he talked and gestured. Jan did not feel comfortable talking about Henri's homosexuality; I'm surprised he even mentioned it. Overall however, he was very cooperative and eager to give his impressions of Henri".

This is perhaps not surprising given that Jurgen wrote the first biography about Henri. He raised some intriguing and important questions. It's unfortunate we did not have enough time to pursue them."
