Garvey Remi Brague Remi Brague, professor emeritus at the Sorbonne and Romano Guardini Chair at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, will give a lecture, “There is No Such Thing as a Secular Society,” at 5 p.m. Thursday (Oct. 11) in the Hesburgh Library’s Carey Auditorium at the University of Notre Dame. The lecture, sponsored by Notre Dame’s Nanovic Institute for European Studies, is free and open to the public. Brague’s visit to campus will include a meeting with Rev. Brian Daley, S.J., Notre Dame’s Catherine F. Huisking Professor of Theology, a fellow recipient of the prestigious 2012 Ratzinger Prize, which has been nicknamed the “Nobel of Theology.” The two will receive the prize from Pope Benedict XVI in a ceremony Oct. 20 in Rome. Brague taught at the Sorbonne in Paris for 20 years before moving to Munich in 2002. He also has been a visiting professor at Pennsylvania State University, Boston College and Boston University. Books he has written include “Eccentric Culture,” “The Wisdom of the World,” “The Law of God,” “The Legend of the Middle Ages” and, most recently, “On the God of the Christians.” At a news conference announcing the Ratzinger Prize last month, Cardinal Camillo Ruini, president of the Ratzinger Foundation’s academic committee, praised Brague as “a true philosopher and, at the same time, a great historian of cultural thought who unites a profound and unequivocal Christian and Catholic faith to his speculative ability and historical vision.” Contact: Monica Caro, 574-631-3547, mcaro@nd.edu Posted In: International Faith Home Experts ND in the News Subscribe About Us Related September 14, 2022 Apostolic nuncio to Great Britain to deliver the 2022 Keeley Vatican Lecture July 14, 2022 Law School hosts second annual Notre Dame Religious Liberty Summit in Rome July 13, 2022 Catholic peacebuilders bring hope amid the world’s crises June 01, 2022 University of Notre Dame to establish consortium of Catholic universities to study Muslim-Christian relations January 31, 2022 New book explores the role of Catholic peacebuilders in addressing global mining issues For the Media Contact Office of Public Affairs and Communications Notre Dame News 500 Grace Hall Notre Dame, IN 46556 USA Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest © 2022 University of Notre Dame Search Mobile App News Events Visit Accessibility Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn
