Renewing the ‘Catholic Life of the Mind’
George Weigel pays tribute to the Dominicans
Posted by The Dominican Friars on January 13, 2009
Scholar, news commentator and papal biographer George Weigel paid tribute to the Province of St. Joseph Sept. 30 in a talk celebrating the achievements of the Dominican House of Studies (DHS). referring to the DHS as “an intellectual reactor core that is essential to authentic Catholic renewal,” he argued that such renewal is essential, especially at a time when it seems that “the culture has lost its mind.”
