Lecture on Speaking Truth in a Culture of Denial

Dominican University’s Siena Center presents a lecture on "Speaking Truth in a Culture of Denial" on Thursday, February 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Priory Campus, 7200 W. Division Street, River Forest. Reverend Donald Cozzens, a priest of the diocese of Cleveland, OH, will discuss the current crisis in the Catholic Church and how it offers possibilities for a renewed and revitalized Church.

Rev. Cozzens is the author of three books highlighting contemporary challenges faced by the Catholic Church in the United States. The Changing Face of the Priesthood: A Reflection on the Priest’s Crisis of Soul was published in 2000. Sacred Silence: Denial and Crisis in the Church was published in 2002. His most recent book, Faith That Dares to Speak, was published in 2004.

A visiting member of the faculty of John Carroll University, where he teaches religious studies, and the former rector of Saint Mary Seminary and Graduate School of Theology in Cleveland, OH, Rev. Cozzens is a nationally recognized speaker and an advocate for reform in the Catholic Church. He has been credited for encouraging lay Catholics to challenge the Church to embrace transparency in its decisions and accountability for its actions.

This program is offered in collaboration with the Chicago affiliates of Voice of the Faithful. Admission is $5.00. For more information, please call the Siena Center at (708) 714-9105.

Dominican University established the Siena Center to engage the critical issues of church and society in the light of faith and scholarship. The center was named for St. Catherine of Siena, a 14th-century laywoman who worked untiringly for the reform of the church and justice in the world. Her passionate devotion to the central issues of church and society inspires the work of the center in its schedule of lectures, symposia, workshops, retreats, research and seminars.
