Fellowship of Catholic Scholars Conference: Truth in Private and Public Life

Washington, D.C. – Senior Fellow Dr. Matthew Walz attended the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars (FCS) convention  at The Catholic University of America. Dr. Walz serves on the Board of the FCS. He participated in the Board meeting, chaired a plenary session, and moderated a session of panel presentations.

The theme of this year’s convention was “Truth in Private and Public Life. Truth and truth-telling are central features of Christian life. Christians are called to be witnesses to the truth; the mission of the Church is to share the truth; and Christians worship a God who is Truth. The conference explored the Christian orientation to truth: what norms of truth should govern our communication and inquiries? In what ways should our political lives be governed by and for truth? And how can the Church strive more effectively to communicate truth, both doctrinal and moral? Panels and keynote addresses covered these and related topics.
