The Active or Contemplative Life

Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon on his life as a learner.

On February 6, 2023, Fr. Pat met online with Gary W. Jenkins, PhD, Director of the St. Basil Center for Orthodox Thought and Culture at Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania, and host of the podcast “The Path to the Academy”. The two engaged in a fascinating conversation about Fr. Pat’s past as a Trappist monk and as a student in Rome, as well as his interactions with some of the most brilliant minds of the 20th century (and a few nefarious ones thrown in).
