A Rensselaer Newman Theology Roundtable Presentation with Guest Speaker Fr. Bernard Mulcahy, OP

With more than 400 million migrants, displaced person, refugees, and asylum seekers in the world, it's not enough to say only "Welcome the stranger" or "Follow the immigration laws." But systematic moral reflection on the challenges of mass migration is lacking.

Join us to examine the development of 20th and 21st century Catholic teaching about migration, and to identify questions about the mass movements of peoples that often go unasked. How, if at all, does the large scale of contemporary migration change and challenge our hearing of the Gospel?

Fr. Bernard Mulcahy, OP, is an Associate Professor of Theology in the postgraduate school of Theology at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio. He holds a Ph.D. in systematic theology from the Australian Catholic University, Melbourne, Australia.
