CULTURE MEETS CATHOLICISM:
A FRANCISCAN PERSPECTIVE
The hugely popular Heavenly Bodies exhibit currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art demonstrates how much the Catholic imagination has influenced art and culture over the course of two mil- lennia. This presentation will explore notable examples of the intersection of Culture and Catholicism from the Early Christian Era onward, and how this conversation is particularly Fran- ciscan in outlook and practice.
Speaker: Francis Greene, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus,

Lecturer, St. Francis Adult Education Program
