St. Pius V Lay Dominican Pro-Chapter

As a Thomist (at heart if not in fact!) I cannot in good conscience mention the Carmelites without mentioning the Dominicans. Here is a link to the St. Pius V Lay Dominican Pro-Chapter which meets at Mount de Sales in Catonsville. They have a regular schedule of lectures on tap. The next speaker is April 19th:

Free lecture: "Truth, Truths, and Contemplation" will be presented by Rev. Kurt Pritzl, O.P., Ph.D., the Dean of the School of Philosophy at The Catholic University of America. The talk will focus on our ability to know the truth through an intellect fundamentally contemplative in nature. It will consider how contemplation approaches Truth (not the "truths" of moral relativism) in a large and comprehensive sense through the consideration of particular truths and what is claimed to be true. The talk will also reflect on the Dominican mission to contemplate and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Please join us on Saturday, April 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at Mount de Sales Academy in Catonsville, MD. The lecture will be followed by a reception with light fare.
