The Sanctuary Lamp will burn this week for…
In Memory of Ruth Warden
Dear Family in Christ, I want to clarify that my thesis was NOT for a doctorate degree. It was to complete a Licentiate in Sacred Theology (STL) at BC. Besides the eight courses in the desired field of study (moral theology in my case), there is also the thesis of 90 pages in the area of concentration. My topic was Genetic Editing with CRISPR/Cas 9: a Scientific, Ethical and Pastoral Approach. It is good to be done!!! Once again… thank you! Peace, Fr. José
