What Do We See When We See? A Kevin Seasoltz Omnibus
Introduction Robert Kevin Seasoltz was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on December 29, 1930. Educated as a diocesan priest in the Johnstown diocese, he pursued a doctorate in canon law at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, focusing on liturgical law. This was the starting point for his falling in love with all things related to liturgy: texts, ritual, and liturgical spaces. In 1960 he professed vows at Saint Anselm’s Abbey in Washington, DC, an English Benedictine monastery and in the spring of 1988 he transferred his monastic stability to Saint John’s Abbey. Beginning in 1976, Father Kevin taught for years in the summer program at the School of Theology and Seminary in Collegeville, and after his transfer to Saint John’s Abbey, he taught courses that focused largely on sacramental and liturgical theology. As importantly, he became editor of Worship magazine in 1987, which furthered his own scholarship and sharpened his awareness of trends in liturgical thinking.
