Robert Kennedy speaks at Syracuse University’s inaugural Joseph and Amelia Borgognoni Lecture in Catholic Theology and Religion in Society. She discussed the slow rate of change coming to the Catholic Church. She also advocated that it’s wrong to legislate something that you can’t get people to do morally. She also warned against the dangers of self-righteousness (in the Church).
