FEATURED ARTICLES/INTERVIEWS
The writer Chiara Basso interviewed me for an article which appeared in the Italian Jesuit magazine Jesus. I've just learned that it caught the attention of someone inside the Vatican, as it was used at a meeting of an association called "Il Cortile dei Gentili", which was created by Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi and is dedicated to developing an open dialog with the secular community. I've appended my English translation to the original article--just follow the link and scroll past the Italian to the English.
