    Director, Senior Fellow

    I am a member of the Dominican Religious Order. I specialize in Systematic Theology with a special emphasis on faith and science dialogue. I’ve collaborated with the Discovery Institute, the En Arche Foundation in Warsaw and The Society for Christian Culture in Krakow. I teach online classes on faith and science and appear as a public speaker. I have authored several books, including Catholicism and Evolution (2015), Aquinas and Evolution (2017) and Knowledge and Evolution (2021). I value Thomistic philosophy and JP II’s theological anthropology. I am interested in science and engineering.

    Senior Fellow

    I am a lay Catholic theologian with a special interest in dogmatic theology. I have served as a Director of the John Paul II Institute of Divine Mercy based in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. I explore new ways of thinking about the harmony possible between science, scripture, philosophy and theology with regard to universal and human origins. I am an editor of a volume More Than Myth?  (The Chartwell Press, 2014) – a collaborative volume of essays by scholars who find Progressive Creation and Intelligent Design theories the most fruitful way forward in unfolding the great mystery of origins.

    Associated Fellow

    I am Director of Holy Family Institute of Catholic Faith and Life. I hold a Master of Arts degree in Catholic Thought and Life from St. Meinrad School of Theology. In addition to presenting on Catholic theology, philosophy, and anthropology for over 25 years, I have been part of numerous Catholic media projects and written for publications such as Catholic Answers Magazine, Crisis Magazine, and The Catechetical Review. I am especially interested in the Catholic intellectual tradition as it bears on Catholic anthropology, the relationship between faith and reason, and the Church’s contribution to the ideas that form and drive culture. My philosophical worldview is Thomistic and Aristotelian, and I have a particular interest in the “adequate anthropology” expounded in Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body.
