" In light of Ignatius' 'Two Standards' and 'The Mystries Done From The Garden To The House Of Annas', at any moment we can be Judas or Peter, a Christian life can be a fine line."

Liberation Theology: "Jesuit Priest In Revolution"
Father Fernando Cardenal from Nicaragua will visit the campus to give a lecture titled, "Jesuit Priest in Revolution." After joining the priesthood, Cardenal lived in Medellin, Colombia where he was inspired to serve the poor. Returning to Nicaragua in 1970, Cardenal was recruited by the Sandinista Front for National Liberation and became a minister of education. Under his leadership, the country's literacy rate rose from 49 to 87 percent.
Cardenal is now the director of the organization Fe y Alegria (Faith and Happiness.) His lecture will be delivered in Spanish with English translations to follow
I am not a Jesuit, nor am I a cleric. I spent about 5 years under the spiritual direction of a Jesuit, 3 of those years in a weekly directed retreat in everyday life. The profound impact that the Society and the Excercises had upon my life, resulted in me, trying to deal with that impact in some way by sharing my view of Jesus Christ with others. My intention is to pull together Jesuitical and Catholic subjects that interest me. I was born on the feast day of St. Paul Miki, S.J.. I am the father of three small children and an infant, I am married to a great wife.
