- You have become, in recent years, a distinguished translator. How did this come about?
- Some say that to translate is to betray: Traduttore, traditore! It’s a provocative charge, but could it be that where there is smoke there is fire?
- Is the art of translating a kind of interpretation? Does it involve compromises
- You are an Eastern Catholic and teach in an Eastern Catholic seminary, Ss. Cyril and Methodius. What do Western Catholics especially need to know about the Eastern Catholic heritage? How does it serve the Universal Church?
- Do you have any distinctive challenges in presenting Thomism to Eastern Catholics?
- How are you working to resolve the tension between Thomism and the Ressourcement of the Nouvelle Théologie?
- Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange has been dubbed “the sacred monster of Thomism.” Your recent translations of his books are Thomistic Common Sense: The Philosophy of Being and the Development of Doctrine, The Order of Things: The Realism of the Principle of Finality, Philosophizing in Faith, Essays on the Beginning and End of Wisdom, and The Sense of Mystery: Clarity and Obscurity in the Intellectual Life. What is your own assessment of Garrigou-Lagrange?
- Some speak of Jacques Maritain as the single most influential Thomist of the last century. You are active in the American Maritain Association. Where do you see the spirit of Maritain active today?
- Maritain was deeply engaged in the politics of his time. Does Thomism offer a foundation for constructive politics?
- What are some of your current projects?
