Our 20th Anniversary: 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of CUA Magazine, which was first published in the early months of 1989, when it replaced a much shorter alumni magazine called Envoy. Monsignor William A. Kerr, who served as publisher of the first issue of CUA Magazine, wrote the following in its pages: “Significant research takes place at CUA, and we see CUA Magazine as an extension of the university’s teaching mission. And so we launch this new venture, hoping it will stir your imagination [and] offer you insights into current and critical issues. … The intent is to keep ‘you and us’ in close touch.”
In Memoriam
Cardinal Avery Dulles, S.J., a professor of
theology at Catholic University from 1974 to 1988, passed away on Dec. 12, 2008, at the age of 90. A kind and generous teacher and an internationally known author of 22 books, he was one of the few priests in recent centuries to be elevated to the position of cardinal without being a bishop.
