| Review of Romanus Cessario, O.P., A Short History of Thomism
(Washington, D.C.: Catholic University Press, 2005), The Thomist, forthcoming. This
review of a spiffy little book contains a few remarks at the end about
the future of Thomism. "Angels and Demons." Faith Essentials (Online Journal of the Association of Students at Catholic Colleges), January 2005. "Christian Faith as a Way of Life." This essay appears in William E. Mann, ed., The Blackwell Guide to Philosophy of Religion (Oxford: Blackwell Publishing Co., 2004). "One Way to Understand the Significance of Blessed Josemaría Escrivá." This short paper was delivered in June 2002 at a conference entitled "The Teaching of Blessed Josemaría Escrivá: Implications for a New Milennium," and was given as a comment on a paper entitled "Work: A Path to Holiness" by Janne Haaland Matlary of the University of Oslo. The conference was held just three months before the canonization of the founder of Opus Dei. "The Church and Art." This is a brief commentary on paragraphs 2, 12, and 13 of Pope John Paul II's Letter to Artists. It appeared in the Summer 2002 issue of Logos, the journal of the Catholic Studies Program of the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. Review of John Kavanaugh, SJ, Who Count as Persons? -- a review that appeared in the January-February 2002 issue of the Houston Catholic Worker. "Good News, Your Soul Hasn't Died Quite Yet" -- a paper I read at a plenary session of the 2001 meeting of the American Catholic Philosophical Association. I link it here because of its relevance to faith/reason issues. "Fides et Ratio: A 'Radical' Vision of Intellectual Inquiry" -- a slightly revised version of a paper I read at the American Maritain Society Meetings in October 2000. (This version was delivered as the 2002 Edith Stein lecture at the Franciscan University of Steubenville.) There is some overlap with "Whose Standards of Excellence?" in the discussion of modernism and Nietzscheanism, but this paper begins with an exposition of Pope John Paul's conception of inquiry and also includes a section on pragmatism. "Whose Standards of Excellence? Secularity and the Mission of the University" --an earlier version of this paper was presented to a conference on "Faith and Reason and a University's Stated Purposes," sponsored by the American Public Philosophy Institute, March 1999. The paper still needs work, and so comments are welcome. The Church in the 21st Century, Catholic Dossier (November-December 1998).

Missing the Message of Ex Corde Ecclesiae, National Catholic Register, March 15-21, 1998. A Vision of the Church in the 21st Century (1996): On November 13, 1996 I participated in a Common Ground discussion. (Sadly and ironically, this was the very night during which Cardinal Bernadin died.) Each of the panelists prepared a brief (seven-minute) talk on the Church in the 21st century. Here's mine. A Problem with Undergraduate Education at Notre Dame (1996). Church Tradition and the Catholic University: A Response (1995): In the Fall of 1995 I was invited by the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars to give a reply to a paper by Fr. Robert Sokolowski entitled "Church Tradition and the Catholic University". On Being a Catholic University: Some Thoughts on our Present Predicament (1993): In the Fall of 1993 I addressed a group known as the Conversation on the Catholic Character of Notre Dame. My remarks were a comment on an paper by Lawrence Cunningham of the Theology Department on the meanings of the term 'Catholic'. |
