Following an introduction at noon (Rome time) by Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos, prefect of the Congregation for Clergy, which has organized the event, theologians from around the world will offer “reflections on the past and future prospects” linked to the topic.
Professor Igor Kowalewskzy of Moscow will address “The Influence of the Mother of God in the Evangelization of the Russian Peoples.”
Professor Silvio Cajiao of Bogota, Colombia, will speak on “The Virgin of Guadalupe, Patroness of America, and Her Influence in the Conversion of Peoples.”
The conference can be followed live or recorded at www.clerus.org. Texts of the talks will be available there later.
