Feb 13 - Dr William A. Borst on "The Shroud of Bernardin"

Credo of the Catholic Laity is proud to welcome to our lectern Wm. A. Borst Ph.D., Professor of History at St. Louis University.

Dr. Borst writes the monthly newsletter for the Cardinal Mindszenty Foundation. He became involved in the Prolife movement in 1986 and is a board member of Birthright St. Louis, he has also held several offices in the St. Louis Archdiocesan Prolife committee. His talk will focus on the late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin’s comments when he advanced the notion that Catholic Politicians should not be judged solely or even primarily by their positions on abortion. Abortion was merely one strand in the Catholic seamless garment regarding the defense of life.

Dr. Borst has had a varied and interesting professional life. In addition to teaching history at a number of St. Louis colleges and universities he developed a passion for baseball . He has written many articles and had a number of media appearances regarding this subject. This year marks his 20th anniversary on radio station WGNU where he is a talk show host. His commentaries require him to delve deeply into world events and American culture.

In addition to his many articles he has written a number of books. His most recent The Scorpion and the Frog: A natural Conspiracy, examines secret societies and their negative influence on American social and cultural history. Books will be available at the forum.
