(1/3/10)  On January 28, 2010, Archbishop J. Michael Miller of the Vancouver Archdiocese will deliver the annual Aquinas Lecture at the University of St. Thomas (Houston, Tex.) Center for Thomistic Studies.  In a lecture titled, “The Church’s ‘Common Doctor’: Thomas Aquinas and the Contemporary Catholic University,” Archbishop Miller will discuss the “encouragement that is found in recent papal documents, including those of Benedict XVI, for the study of St. Thomas Aquinas in seminaries and universities” and the importance of such study at this “critical juncture in the history of Catholic universities in North America and worldwide.”  Archbishop Miller, who served as the president of the University of St. Thomas for six years, was appointed by Pope John Paul II in 2003 as the Secretary of the Vatican Congregation for Catholic Education and served through 2007.  Source: University of St. Thomas
