Conference: Catholic Perspectives on Religious Liberty at Georgetown
I'll be participating in a conference next Thursday, September 13 -- "Catholic Perspectives on Religious Liberty" -- organized by Tom Farr and hosted by the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University Law Center. The keynote speaker is Cardinal Donald Wuerl and the balance of the conference is organized in 3 fairly conversational panels, each of which is devoted to a separate topic. If you are able to come, please stop by and say hi. More details here.

In order for Catholic Scholars, who are called to challenge the issues of the Day in light of our Catholic Faith, to end up with different perspectives on what The Catholic Church proposes to be true, some Catholic scholars must be ascending to The Truth, while other Catholic scholars are descending from The Truth, simultaneously. A Catholic scholar who professes to be Catholic, being already converted, is called to ascent to The Truth, thus a Catholic conference on Catholic perspectives would never serve to debate The Truth, but rather would serve to help explain and define The Truth in light of the challenges of the Day. A Catholic Conference would be a conference that begins and ends with The Word of God.
If it is true that there are members of the hierarchy and laity of The Catholic Church who believe The Truth is up for debate, no doubt, it is through a false spirit of ecumenism,
and not through the Wisdom of The Holy Spirit. To ascent to The Truth can never be devisive, which is why we know there is no division in The One Body of Christ.
