Can We Talk?
Discussion, Dialogue and Debate in the Catholic Church
Leon Lowenstein Center|12th Floor Lounge |113 West 60th Street |New York City

Disagreement is an old story among Catholics; the church’s record in handling it is decidedly mixed. The combination of an educated laity and modern means of communication has complicated the picture. The panel will look at:

• What is the place of disagreement, dialogue and debate in today’s Church?
• How should disagreement and criticism be conducted?
• How important is frank public discussion? What are the costs of
   avoiding or repressing it?
• If not Catholic forums, what forums will provide people with ideas and information about Catholicism?

Join us for this discussion organized by the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture, moderated by co-director Peter Steinfels.

Panelists will include:
Bishop Joseph Sullivan | Brooklyn Diocese
Leslie Tentler, Ph.D. | Professor of History, Catholic University of America
Rev. Joseph Koterski, S.J. | Professor of Philosophy, Fordham University
Geoffrey Boisi | Chairman and Senior Partner, Roundtable Investment Partners LLC
