The University of Dallas is honored
to have Cardinal Francis Arinze
speak on "Interreligious Dialogue
and Evangelization" at the second
annual John Paul II Theology Lecture on
April 14.
In his position as the Prefect of
the Congregation of Divine Worship
and the Discipline of Sacraments,
Cardinal Arinze advises the Pope on
the sacraments and the liturgy, which
are essential embodiments of the faith
of the Church. According to Dr. Lowery,
Cardinal Arinze has helped "to curb the
excesses of Vatican II and defend its
liturgical developments."
Cardinal Arinze comes to UD
with the rich experience of a long life
dedicated to intellectual studies, the
Church, and its people on a global
scale. "From a war-torn country, Cardinal
Arinze has seen everything—the ravages
of war and poverty—and has participated
in extraordinary corporal works of mercy.
Even more, he is a profound theologian
and teacher of philosophy," Lowery
said. Cardinal Arinze was also one of

the principal advisors to the late Pope,
John Paul II.
Born in Nigeria, Francis Arinze
became the youngest Roman Catholic
bishop in the world when he was
ordained at the age of thirty-two in
1965. After becoming Archbishop in his
diocese in Nigeria, the Nigeria-Biafra
war broke out and Arinze had to flee his
city three years. Although he was then a
refugee himself, he supervised one of the
"most effective and efficient distributions
of relief materials" to the refugees and
displaced people. Fie garnered respect
from all factions in the country by taking
care to keep the Church separate from
the political conflict. Not only could
Arinze make do with few resources, but
also, he helped people of all cultures
and religions in his country, over 50%
of which is non-christian. Pope John
Paul II was impressed with his leadership
abilities and appointed him to the
"Pontifical Council for Interreligious
Dialogue," later naming him one of
the youngest Archibishops to become
Cardinal, in 1985.
Besides his duties as Prefect at the
Vatican, Cardinal Arinze also actively
