Wikipedia description:
Thomas d'Esterre Roberts (7 March 1893 – 28 February 1976) was an English Jesuit prelate who served as Archbishop of Bombay from 1937 to 1950; in 1946, he left his Indian auxiliary bishop effectively in charge. In 1950 he was appointed titular Archbishop of Sugdaea. He was rector of St Francis Xavier Church, Liverpool, from 1935 to 1937. After leaving Bombay, he dedicated himself to lecturing, writing, and the promotion of debate on controversial issues. He gained him a reputation in some Catholic circles as a "rogue bishop" or a "maverick". Although others applauded his challenging insights, the controversy surrounding him obscured the significance of his work in Bombay.
