The Dominicans at Oxford are organising a colloqium dedicated to one of the great 20th century thinkers and writers of their Order, Fr Garrigou-Lagrange.
The Colloquium will be taking up the relationship of Garrigou-Lagrange's thinking to some other influential 20th century thinkers. I would be fascinated to attend this day but unfortunately my parish commitments prevent me - but I will be most interested to read the papers if, as I expect, they are subsequently published. If you are a student of Catholic theology, this would be a day well spent. Here is the information:

I once was told about a cleric who was on a train or plane reading a work by Garrigou-Lagrange. The Man next to him seeing it was in French, asked the cleric what it was about, the cleric told him, Grace. His seat partner responded; when it comes to women, those French can really teach a few things.
Dear Father:
I cannot seem to get to the PDF file about the conference. Is the link broken?
Dear Father:
Thank you for posting this! The link to the PDF file does not seem to be working. Is there another link?
Just checked the pdf link, Father and it is working. Sometimes if it loads very slowly it is better to right-click and "save link as" to get the pdf.
