Professor Roberto de Mattei, Italian historian and professor, author among others of Il Concilio Vaticano II: una storia mai scritta will visit America in April. Two of his conferences will be in New York and in Washington. (By the way, if you are in or near Paris this Thursday March 13, at 8:15 p.m., Prof. de Mattei will be at a conference hosted by the Centre Saint-Paul of the Institute of the Good Shepherd-IBP, near the Sentier or Bonne Nouvelle Métro stations.)
1) NEW YORK, APRIL 4, 2014. Our longtime friends at the Society of St. Hugh of Cluny will promote a conference with Prof. de Mattei and our frequent contributor Dr. John Lamont at the Union League Club (38 East 37th Street, New York):
On Friday April 4th at 7:00 p.m. at the Union League Club in New York City, the Society of St. Hugh of Cluny will sponsor a brief conference examining postconciliar Catholicism at the end of the generation of Vatican II, featuring lectures by two outstanding Catholic scholars who are well-known for their courageous defense of traditional theological positions, Prof. Roberto de Mattei and Dr. John Lamont.
Dr. Lamont will begin the evening by addressing the problem of the rule of law in the Catholic Church — an important topic made more poignant today by the systemic failures of the abuse crisis. Prof. de Mattei's conference is on "The End of Vatican II in Historial Perspective."
All are welcome to attend; admission is free of charge. The conference will be preceded by Solemn Vespers in the Traditional Roman rite at 5:30 p.m. at Saint Patrick’s Old Cathedral in Lower Manhattan, only 15 minutes from the Union League Club by subway. For more information and detailed directions see the Society's website:
