I began a Ph.D program at Maryvale Institute

Maryvale Institute in Birmingham, England is located at the old site where Bl. Newman first lived after his conversion to the Catholic Faith.  I am working on a research degree, a Ph.D in Catholic Studies.  The proposed title of the dissertation is something like The Role of Stabilitas in the Transmission of Tradition: An Analysis of Alasdair MacIntyre’s Ideas with Reference to Western Monasticism and applied to a Midwestern Parish 1850-2011.
