A great Notre Dame moment

Certainly, there have been few such moments on the football field this season.  But, on Friday morning, at the Center for Ethics & Culture's (wonderful) Fall Conference, "The Summons of Freedom," I attended a very interesting panel on Maritain, Murray, Pope Pius XII, and religious freedom.  The papers presented were all very enlightening.  During the Q & A, while we were talking and thinking about Murray, my esteemed colleague Bob Rodes shared an intervention.  (Here is a paper I did, a few years ago, on Bob's church-state work.)  Then, it hit me:  "We are talking about Murray, with a legal scholar whom Murray cited in 'We Hold These Truths'!" 

Very cool.
