He was, we are told, a man who was easily deceived, and who was often taken advantage of by those around him. This, however, did not prevent him from being a man of great influence, and his episcopate was marked by a number of important events. - [Previous: c21.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.ray-1945.c21.6) - [Next: c21.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.ray-1945.c21.8) - [Up: c21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.ray-1945.c21) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.ray-1945.c21.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.ray-1945.c21.7) · Pramāṇa
