| DETAILS: | Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl, archbishop of Washington and chancellor of The Catholic University of America, will present a lecture titled, "Why a 'New Evangelization' Now?" The event is hosted by the CUA Knights of Columbus and D.C. State Council of the Knights of Columbus. In his lecture, Cardinal Wuerl will explore Pope Benedict XVI's call to the Church to "repropose" the belief in Christ and his Gospel for a hearing among those who are convinced that they already know the faith and it holds no interest for them. This "new evangelization" comes in the context of modern society and Western culture that are strongly influenced by secularism, materialism, and individualism. Cardinal Wuerl was elevated to the College of Cardinals in 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI. He has been a Knight of Columbus since 1978. From 1980 through 1982 he was the chaplain for the Pennsylvania Council of the Knights of Columbus. For more information, call 301-229-5164. |
