:::Thank you for your consideration. Many scholars have described him as essentially "Catholic in his heart, and Conservative in his brain", to paraphrase. So perhaps a description of being a man whose practicality and sentimentality were aligned, and whose views have gained acceptance from many modern Conservatives.
