Reflections upon Installation of Edward Foley, Capuchin as Duns Scotus Professor of Spirituality
11 Oct 2009
First, I would like to squelch any rumors about my having to borrow a Capuchin habit for today’s event. Yes, this is my solemn profession habit from 1972; it is admittedly in pristine condition, and although not quite saving it for this moment, I did want to be part of the brown wave that ripples across CTU today; furthermore, since the religious barb of the mendicants was both a choir robe as well as at the origin of the academic gown, it seems fitting in this conjunction of prayer and scholarship to don the capuche.
