Frank Clooney is the central figure in the most vital and heartening theological movement of our time. He serenely overcomes the parochialisms and polarizations by opening our eyes to the wider religious world. A consummate scholar, he is at the same time engaged spiritually and existentially with every theme he takes up. He is the intellectual embodiment of Pope Francis's ideal of religious seekers and believers of all stamps moving together in joyful charity toward the Kingdom. Congratulations to him and to those who have honored him.
