On October 16, Fr. James Martin and 11 other individuals received Sapientia et Doctrina awards from Fordham University’s Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education. Fr. Martin spoke at the celebration about the role of humor as a sign of faith. Fr. Martin said, “We’ve all met Catholics who seem to think that being religious means being deadly serious… But of course, when you’re deadly serious, you’re seriously dead.” For more information about the Sapientia et Doctrina celebration, visit Fordham University’s eNewsroom.
