Fr. Bob Levis, president emeritus of the CCC, often invited the renown Thomist to speak at the annual convocation for the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy. Before ordination, I would help Fr. Bob as a seminarian by picking up speakers at the airport and taking them here and there, as well as being able to listen to their erudite lectures. As a college seminarian, I remember listening to a Thomas Aquinas symposium sponsored by the Gannon University Philosophy Dept. in which Dr. McInerny was keynote speaker. <br /><br />Like the Angelic Doctor himself, McInerny was well read on a plethora of subjects. While a true expert in Philosophy, he was also quite competent in theology, church history, liturgy, etc.<br /><br />Above all else, Ralph was a FAITHFUL SON OF THE CHURCH. He earned his mandatum the old fashioned way. He taught orthodox doctrine and he defended it. He also, like Aquinas, showed that only SOLID philosophy could be the worthy handmaiden of theology. Anything less was intellectual prostitution.Black Birettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758160681203816829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36562133.post-40012743469104706992010-01-31T12:00:41.990-05:002010-01-31T12:00:41.990-05:00He was a wonderful man and such a marvelous exampl...He was a wonderful man and such a marvelous example of a true Catholic!
