THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM
“Without in any way neglecting the acquisition of useful knowledge, a Catholic University is distinguished by its free search for the whole jruth about nature, man and God. The present age is in urgent need of this kind of disinterested service, namely of proclaiming the meaning of truth, that fundamental value without which freedom, justice and human dignity are extinguished.’’ — Pope John Paul II, Ex Corde Ecclesiae
The aim of the Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture’s sixth annual fall conference is to bring together a large number of respected scholars representing all the main academic fields, from Catholic, non-Catholic, and secular institutions, to discuss a broad range of issues relating to the way in which the Catholic university as a whole, as well as the particular disciplines which comprise it, can best respond to Pope John Paul M's call for a renewal of Catholic institutions of higher learning. Speakers include J. Philip Gleason, Helen Alvare, Fr. John Jenkins, and Alasdair Mclntire.
