Due to the funeral of our friend, supporter, and Episcopal Moderator His Eminence Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I. taking place on Thursday, we will unfortunately have to cancel the event with Giuseppe Mazzotta on “Dante’s Theology of the Future.”
If you have already paid a registration fee, you will be refunded in the coming days. We also plan to reschedule the event for sometime in the near future.
…so did I strive with this new mystery:
I yearned to know how could our image fit
into that circle, how could it conform;
but my own wings could not take me so high-
then a great flash of understanding struck
my mind, and suddenly its wish was granted.
At this point power failed high fantasy
but, like a wheel in perfect balance turning,
I felt my will and my desire impelled
by the Love that moves the sun and the other stars.
– Dante, The Divine Comedy: Paradise, Canto XXXIII, trans. Mark Musa
