In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Rev. Phillip J. Brown, P.S.S. on Teaching Canon Law in Seminary (November 3, 2023) The Seminary Journal is a journal of opinion, research, and praxis in the field of seminary education and formation for priesthood within the Roman Catholic tradition.In the Spring of 2021, the faculty of the School of Theology at St. Mary’s Seminary & University in Roland Park, Baltimore decided to embark on a common faculty writing project in collaboration with Seminary Journal. The project was coordinated by Fr. Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R. The purpose of this effort on the part of the faculty was to encourage its members in light of the new Ratio Fundamentalis from Rome (2016) and the sixth edition of the Program for Priestly Formation (approved 2019) to delve more deeply into the various academic disciplines offered at the seminary, with an eye to how those disciplines should be taught in a Catholic seminary. It was also hoped that such a project would encourage closer collaboration among the faculty, with the hope of seeing how those disciplines relate to one another and how classroom pedagogy has an impact on the con-tent being both conveyed and received. Another hope was to offer the wider seminary community in the United States and beyond insights into how classroom pedagogy might impact the integration of the various dimensions of priestly formation.
