Prof. DeGirolami will present on this conversational topic at this time when stories of religious conflict and persecution are everyday fare in the media and peace associations are their efforts around the world in this regard. It appears that "the civilization of love", which Pope John Paul set as a challenge to the modern world, has as its foundational stone, religious liberty for all. While it is included in the 1948 U.N. document on Human Rights, millions around the world continue to be unable to exercise the right and indeed suffer for their efforts to do so. It is a complex and pervasive issue in our contemporary cultures.
Catholic universities will be particularly attentive to the poorest and to those who suffer economic, social, cultural or religious injustice. This responsibility begins within the academic community but it also finds application beyond it.
