Perhaps of interest to Commonwealers in the New York area: Fordham University will be kicking off the new school year with a panel discussion of Pope Francis's pontificate. The panelists are three distinguished theologians (but they're letting me come too).

More importantly, we'll be welcoming Rachel Zoll, religion reporter for the AP, to keep us in line.

More information about "Six Months of Pope Francis" and RSVP online HERE.

Monday, September 9. 5:30 PM. Lincoln Center campus.
