A miserable day. The cold-thing has come back this week with a vengeance, and I've barely been holding it together for work. I croaked and wheezed my way through my classes yesterday, and have spent the time since in a stupor in-between bouts of coughing out my lungs. It's an effort just to hold my head up at times. I certainly couldn't do our ( Read more... )

I received a kind of cool compliment today, particularly in light of my recent embarrassing moment of being asked to watch my language while I teach (a bit too casually Irish-American for some tastes, I'm afraid!). The Chair, Assistant Chair, and Director of Undergraduate Theology have asked me to lead a discussion for undergraduate Theology ( Read more... )

So we had a public discussion on the question "Was Luther a Heretic?" and this was in ( Read more... )

Today was the Theological Event of the Year at Marquette University, the annual Père Marquette Lecture, with this year's guest being Dr. Dr. Otto Hermann Pesch, flown fresh over from Deutschland. I'll have occasion to work with him later this week, too. Oh, man, the Luther/Aquinas stuff starts at 10am, I think. Less than six hours. I don't ( Read more... )

The theological event of the year at Marquette is tomorrow, when Marquette honours the retirement of one of our own--my advisor, Fr. David Coffey--with giving this year's Père Marquette Lecture. It's a series with considerable history, and it's a nice capstone for Fr. Coffey's career. Given the timing, I'm glad that they hadn't gone after a ( Read more... )
