Fr. Romanus Cessario, O.P. Speaks at Notre Dame
Theologian delivers the annual Aquinas Lecture


Fr. Cessario's lecture, entitled "Scholarship and Sanctity: Lessons Aquinas Teaches Priests and Seminarians," explored the modern tendency to prefer the pursuit knowledge for its usefulness over the pursuit of the truth for its own sake. In the tradition of St. Thomas, he called for seminaries to return to their monastic roots and urged priests and seminarians to hone their professional skills by living lives of prayer, study, and asceticism.

Fr. Cessario is a professor of Systematic Theology at St. John's Seminary in Brighton, Mass. and serves as a senior editor of the popular Magnificat prayer booklet. He is also the author of several books, including The Moral Virtues and Theological Ethics, The Godly Image: Christ and Salvation in Catholic Thought from Anselm to Aquinas, and Introduction to Moral Theology.
