Kellogg Faculty Fellow David Lantigua has been featured in the article “A Vision For a Globalized College of Cardinals” in The Tablet.
In the article, Lantigua discusses the late Pope Francis’ deliberate appointment of non-European cardinals and more specifically those from the global-south.
“That’s the present, that’s the future and that’s where he thinks we need to have more of that perspective on the life of faith and the life of the Church from that periphery.” Lantigua also adds that the Church is growing at a much faster rate in the Global South than in Europe.
Lantigua notes that Pope Francis’ appointments aligned with this emphasis on reform, which was globalizing the Church.
Lantigua is an associate professor of moral theology and christian ethics, specializing in late scholastic moral and political thought and its place within the broader Catholic social tradition.
