Questions on the Catholic Imagination(s): A Work in Progress

 
 

An Oral History Project Conducted by John Robert Lewis Scholar Henry Sullivan

 

Project Description

What creates the unlikely pairing of Cardinal Timothy Dolan and artist Andres Serrano? One answer is “the Catholic imagination” – a deep-rooted sensibility shaped by the symbols, images, and rites that incarnate Catholicism’s beliefs and traditions. But does a distinctive Catholic imagination exist? Or are there varieties of Catholic imaginations? In an original documentary in production, Henry Sullivan explores these questions with a cast of believers and artists that includes Cardinal Dolan and Andres Serrano along with Julia Yost of First Things, Angela O’Donnell of Fordham University, and others.
