Abstract
What is your central interest in Catholic Theology?
Jesuit Paul Fitzgerald explains his focus in his study of Catholic Theology. He is interested in the lived faith of the laity of Church, as much as the work and thought of great thinkers. He is particularly invested in looking at the Church’s current situation in light of the sexual abuse crisis, and how both Church hierarchy and the faithful are reacting to it.
