As promised! Here's the YouTube link to my Toth-Lonergan Lecture, delivered last Thursday, April 16 at Seton Hall University. Contains even more references to Mister Rogers than you might expect! youtu.be/sI1Ap_KQuks?si…

From “the love of God poured into our hearts by the gift of the Holy Spirit” to cooperation with God’s plan “not to do away with the evils of the human race through power, but to convert those same evils into a supreme good according to the just & mysterious law of the cross.”

Now that the semester is over, I'm available again for podcasts and shorter writings, especially related to Christological Dogmatics. I was turning down many shorter opportunities for a while.

This is a lecture I gave a couple weeks ago called “Finding a Path in the Dark: Lonergan’s Guidance for Getting Oriented in a Disorienting World.” It’s not overly technical or academic; I tried to write it ‘person-to-person’. I hope it’s helpful: youtu.be/sI1Ap_KQuks

@David_Mahfood One way of thinking about what Lonergan means by method (in distinction from, say, Gadamer) is that methods refine the knowledge-generating part of practices into its own deliberate practice.

If you want to help support my work on Lonergan at Seton Hall, today is the first of 2 "Giving Days" here. You can select the Center for Catholic Studies in general or select "other" and write in The Lonergan Institute: givecampus.com/s/n8w18w

Truth presents itself as a reality that precedes human beings. It challenges us and calls us out of ourselves. This is why truth can be sought with trust. Faith does not shut itself off from this search, but purifies it of self-sufficiency and opens it to a fullness towards which reason strives, even if it cannot fully embrace it. #ApostolicJourney #EquatorialGuinea vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@glennbutner I was happy with it and the folks there seemed to enjoy it too, so a success all around I figure.

@JonathanRHeaps How did it go?

Tomorrow!

@David_Mahfood I seem to recall a very awkward Nobel Prize acceptance speech…

But I will refer you to another practitioner, who will be in your area indefinitely, and he will be able to address all your medical questions. And I will remain in contact, if you shoot me a quick text.

@David_Mahfood I thought for sure Annie was not going to take my name for feminist reasons, but to my surprise she said that he maiden name was just another man’s name and she was starting a new family with me and so decided to take mine after all. I… did not care one way or the other

@David_Mahfood Not only that, but—as Daniel Tiger taught us—you can feel 2 feelings at the same time & that’s okay; there’s stuff my wife does that has always bothered me, but as time went by, now I feel *both* annoyance *and* affection at the same time, bc it’s just part of her, who I love.

If you're in the area, you're invited to com to my Toth-Lonergan Lecture on April 16 at @SetonHall. If you can't make it in person, it won't be streamed, but it will be recorded:

We've got proofs! We've got proofs!

I'm pleased to have signed a contract with Zondervan to write the book "Thinking Theologically About Money" as part of a new series. Coming to you ~2030.

@David_Mahfood Better to ask “who *should* decide? And why?”

@FrParrish @SetonHall @stephengadubato We’re office-mates as it happens!

@JonathanRHeaps @SetonHall @stephengadubato check him out, great stuffs
