Lectures
mark 1,650th anniversary of St. Augustine's birth
The Rev. Robert F. Drinan, S.J., priest, lawyer and former congressman
from
 Massachusetts,
visited Villanova University to give a lecture on Sept.21 in the Connelly
Center. The purpose of Fr. Drinan's visit was to discuss the importance of
Catholic Social Teaching, especially economic justice, in the upcoming
election.
Sponsored by the Center for Peace and Justice Education, this event
is one in a series of lectures that promotes awareness to the issues
pertaining to Catholic Social Thought in the upcoming election. Fr. Drinan
was met with opposition from various non-University affiliated pro-life
organizations from the Philadelphia area claiming that he was an abortion
advocate during and after his term in congress. Fr. Drinan refused to
discuss this issue in depth during his lecture and told his audience that
"no one issue, abortion or war, should take place, precedence in this
election." |
