"I am Academic Dean and Professor of Spiritual Theology at Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans. I also teach at the Institute for Priestly Formation in Omaha each summer. My favorite theologian is Father of the Church St. Ignatius of Antioch (108 a.d.). Why? 80+ years old @ the time of his martyrdom, writes his 7 impassioned and theologically dense letters with the voice of the apostles still ‘ringing in his ears,’ has divine wisdom born of suffering, and is, to the end, in love with God and his people unto folly."
