Pope Benedict on Happiness, Truth and Tolerance

Dr. Christopher Kaczor
Loyola Marymount University

In what ways can relativism, or a denial of truth, undermine both happiness and tolerance? Drawing on research in philosophy, theology, and psychology, Dr. Kaczor will address the self-defeating nature of relativistic denials of truth, as well as the ways in which his meeting with the future pope changed his life. Dr. Kaczor is Professor of Philosophy at Loyola Marymount University, a Fulbright Scholar and the author/editor of nine books.

Don’t miss it if you can!
