America's Greatest Catholic Intellectuals

The Gregorian Institute at Benedictine College in Kansas conducted a survey to identify the ten greatest intellectuals in American Catholicism for their Catholic Hall of Fame, and the list of those from "the world of ideas and academic scholarship" includes an MOJ blogger:

1. Orestes Brownson (1803–1876)
2. John Courtney Murray (1904-1967)
3. John Senior (1923-1999)
4. Avery Dulles (1918-2008)
5. James Schall (1928-)
6. Ralph McInerny (1929-2010)
7. Richard John Neuhaus (1936-2009)
8. Mary Ann Glendon (1938-)
9. George Weigel (1951-)
10. Robert P. George (1955-)

They note that future categories will include fiction authors (Flannery O'Connor, e.g.) and bishops, but my offhand additions (heavy on philosophy) would be Alasdair MacIntyre (not an American by birth--neither was Neuhaus--but he has spent the last 40 years or so in posts in US universities), John Tracy Ellis, Nicholas Rescher, John Zahm, and Bas van Fraassen.
