“The truth is the path
to the real human
good. May our culture
recognize this that
we may remain free.”
Fr. Dominic Legge, O.P.

The PFIC’s Thomistic Institute is
bringing Truth to the peripheries!
Thanks to your continued support,
Dominicans are teaming up with
some of America’s finest young minds
to bring the dialogue of faith and
reason to our nation’s centers of
learning. This spring, PFIC professors
are slated to give lectures at
Hillsdale College’s Kirby Center for
Faith & Reason - Volume III, Issue I
The premier talk of the Thomistic
Institute’s exciting expansion was
delivered by Fr. Dominic Legge, O.P.
Entitled “Who Am I to Judge? Politics
and the Problem of Moral Relativism,”
Father Legge’s lecture exposed the
roots of our cultural skittishness when
it comes to admitting right and wrong.
Relativism, said Legge, defies basic
logic and everyday practical experience.
He pointed to monumental truthseekers such as John Paul II and Martin
Luther King Jr., leaders who taught
us that commitment to the truth about
men and women—regardless of time
period or popular social conventions—
is the only path to the real human good.
With your help, PFIC faculty members
like Fr. Legge are sustaining this
dialogue with our country’s future
leaders and training Dominican Friars,
other religious, and laypeople to do
the same.
