St Lucy Thorson meets Pope Benedict XVI

Sr Lucy Thorson and the Pope
Canadian Sr Lucy Thorson met Pope Benedict last week during his visit to the Gregorian University in Rome.

Sr Lucy works in the Cardinal Bea Centre for Judaic Studies which is part of "Cardinal Bea" Center for Judaic Studies

The Cardinal Bea Centre for Judaic Studies is part of the ISRC (Institute for the Study of Religions and Cultures), and at the same time maintains and develops its own identity. In collaboration with the Faculties of Theology and Philosophy of the Pontifical Gregorian University, with the Pontifical Biblical Institute, with SIDIC (Service International de Documentation Judéo-Chrétienne), and with academic centres in Italy and abroad, it offers a variety of courses, lectures, conferences, and other programmes, including a specialisation in Judaic Studies, that offers a diploma and Master of Arts. Many of these initiatives are geared not only toward students and faculty of the Gregorian University, but are also addressed to a broader public.
