Jean Porter this Fall at Villanova

Patrick asked us, here, to save the date.

Joseph T. McCullen Symposium on Catholic Social Thought and Law
Symposium on Jean Porter, Ministers of the Law: A Natural Law Theory of Legal Authority (Eerdmans, 2010)
Villanova University School of Law
October 22, 2010

Jean Porter is one of the most acclaimed scholars of natural law of her generation.  The Symposium will surely be outstanding.

Given how controversial the issue is, and the relevance of the issue to to Catholic legal theory, I thought that MOJers would be interested in reading an essay Jean published in Commonweal on February 8, 2002:  "Is the Embryo a Person?  Arguing with the Catholic Traditions".
