CATHOLIC PRESS ASSOCIATION AWARD WINNER: POPULAR PRESENTATION OF THE FAITH (2ND PLACE)
“If you were accused of being Catholic, is there enough evidence to convict you?”
That’s a question Fr. Rick Malloy poses to his undergraduate students as well as to people in the pews. But he does more than challenge them: Fr. Rick clarifies what their faith really means, how it has the power to set them free, and how they can be a leaven in society and culture.
Fr. Malloy speaks to all Catholics who are neither ideologically “left” nor “right” but simply seeking to understand and live the gospel in a messy world of confusion, violence, and excess. He brings to life a Catholicism that does justice and a faith that forgives. He brings a positive and enthusiastic point of view that is more needed than ever.
Richard G. Malloy, S.J. is vice president for university mission and ministry at the University of Scranton. He has served as interim director of campus ministry at Saint Joseph’s University, Philadelphia, and as a priest in the inner city, on a Native American reservation, and among Catholics in New Jersey, South Dakota, Alaska, Kentucky, New Mexico, and Chile. His essays have appeared in The New York Times, The Huffington Post, America, U.S. Catholic, and The Catholic Star Herald for which he won a Catholic Press Award.
