Bishop Christopher Butler, a participant in Vatican II and prolific author, expressed this aggiornamento, as John XXIII had called it, in a way that would become more evident during Francis' papacy.

The freedom we enjoy in our government extends also to our ordinary life.

REMARKS ON THE CAREER OF RUTILIUS PUDENS CRISPINUS by Danuta Okon Studia Europaea Gnesnensia 2012 accessed 2 May 2015 During the Siege, the forces of Maximinus sent envoys to the city promising them mercy if they surrendered. Herodian records: > Fearing that the people, convinced by these lying promises, might choose > peace instead of war and throw open the gates, Crispinus ran along the > parapet, pleading with the Aquileians to hold out bravely and offer stout > resistance; he begged them not to break faith with the Senate and the Roman > people, but to win a place in history as the saviors and defenders of all > Italy. He warned them not to trust the promises of a tyrant, a liar, and a > hypocrite, and not to surrender to certain destruction, lulled by soft > words, when they could put their trust in the always unpredictable outcome > of war. Often, he continued, few have prevailed over many and those who > appeared to be weaker have overcome those assumed to be stronger.

Murray never married, instead devoting her life to her work, and for this reason, Hutton drew comparisons between her and two other prominent female British scholars of the period, Jane Harrison and Jessie Weston. Murray's biographer Kathleen L. Sheppard stated that she was deeply committed to public outreach, particularly when it came to Egyptology, and that as such she "wanted to change the means by which the public obtained knowledge about Egypt's history: she wished to throw open the doors to the scientific laboratory and invite the public in". She considered travel to be one of her favourite activities, although due to restraints on her time and finances she was unable to do this regularly; her salary remained small and the revenue from her books was meagre. Raised a devout Christian by her mother, Murray had initially become a Sunday School teacher to preach the faith, but after entering the academic profession she rejected religion, gaining a reputation among other members of the Folklore Society as a noted sceptic and a rationalist.
