Project director George Weigel delivers dozens of lectures every year to Catholic, ecumenical, and interreligious audiences across the United States, in Europe, and in Latin America.In October 2002, for example, Weigel delivered the Center’s William E. Simon Lecture on “Moral Clarity in a Time of War;” the lecture, which developed material first explored in the Catholic University of America Law School’s Pope John XXIII Lecture (which Weigel had delivered in March 2002), subsequently appeared as an essay in First Things. The lecture has been circulated widely in the White House, the Department of Defense, and the Vatican. In June 2002, Weigel delivered the annual Alexis de Tocqueville Lecture at the Portuguese Catholic University in Lisbon. He lectured frequently on The Courage To be Catholic in the fall of 2002, including engagements at Catholic University and Boston College. In February 2003, Weigel will lecture in London, Oxford, and Manchester, England, in conjunction with the U.K. publication of The Truth of Catholicism, and will speak in Warsaw and Kraków, Poland, at the time of Truth’s Polish publication.

George Weigel is also a frequent guest speaker at  Legatus chapters around the United States. Over the past two years, he has spoken to Legatus groups in Morristown, New Jersey; Chicago; Philadelphia; Denver; New Orleans; Portland, Oregon; Seattle; Palm Springs; Omaha; Des Moines; and St. Louis. Numerous Legatus engagements are scheduled for 2003, which will also see Weigel lecturing at Princeton University, Williams College, the University of St. Thomas in the Twin Cities, Columbia University, and Villanova University. In addition Weigel is currently scheduled to give lectures for the Archdioceses of Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and San Francisco and the Dioceses of Buffalo, Charleston, Peoria, Pembroke (Ontario), and Rockford.

In her first months as the project’s Junior Fellow, Jeranne Heffernan gave lectures at the Minnesota Catholic Conference, Pepperdine University, Princeton University, and the American Political Science Association. Her schedule for 2003 includes lectures at Baylor University, the Midwest Political Science Association, and the University of Chicago Divinity School.
