Robert Moynihan to speak on modernism and the crisis of the Catholic Church

The Society is pleased to sponsor a talk by Dr. Robert Moynihan, editor and publisher of Inside the Vatican magazine, on Sunday May 4 at 6:30 pm at the New Canaan Library, 151 Main Street, New Canaan, CT. Dr. Moynihan’s talk is entitled: “Modernism and the Crisis of the Catholic Church.”

The talk will address the ongoing battle between Church tradition and political correctness, Pope Benedict’s vision for the Church, and the need for spiritual, not secular solutions to the Church’s problems. He will discuss Pope Benedict’s quote: “I am convinced that the crisis in the Church that we are experiencing today is, to a large extent, due to the disintegration of the liturgy.”

Dr. Moyihan holds a Ph.D from Yale University as well as degrees from Gregorian University in Rome and Harvard College. He taught at both Yale and Colgate University, was formerly Editor of Catholic World Report and was a Vatican correspondent for Time Magazine and the National Catholic Register. He has been a Vatican affairs analyst for CNN since 1995.
