NC News Service Jesuit Father Bernard J. F. Lonergan, 79, one of the 20th c~ntury's leading Catholic theo logians, died Nov. 26 at the Jes uit infirmary in Pickering. On tario. . Among Father Lonergan's many books and hundreds of articles, he was most noted for his 1957 work, "Insight: A Study of Human Understanding," and . his 1972 volume, "Method in' Theology." "There is no doubt in my mind that he is the, greatest Catholic theologian' North America has ever produced," said Father David Tracy of the University of Chicago's School of Divinity, perhaps the 'best known of Father Lonergan's students. Mo~e than 200 doctoral dis sertations have been written on Father Lonergan's thought, two international symposiums have been held on him, and an acad emic newsletter and a theolo gical journal are devoted to Lon ergan studies. There' are also more than a dozen centers for Lonergan studies in countries ranging from Canada' and the United States to Australia, Italy, the Philippines and Ireland.' ·Bernard Lonergan was born Dec. 17, 1904, in ,Buckingham, Quebec. He entered the Cana dian province of the Society of Jesus at Guelph, Ontario, in 1922 and was ordained in 1936. His doctoral dissertation, a study on grace and freedom in St. Thomas Aguinas, is consider: ed by some theological master piece that marked the definitive end to a longstanding theological conflict between Jesuits and Dominicans on the relation be tween grace and freedom. . From 1940 to 1953 Father Lon ergan taught philosophy and theology at Jesuit schools in Canada, then was a faculty member of the Gregorian Uni versity in Rome until 1965, when illness forced him to return to Regis College, Toronto, as re search professor of theology. He was named a Companion of the Order of Canada, his na tion's highest civic honor. Among other honors were 17 honorary doctoral degrees and several major awards for achievement in philosophy. He was StHlman professor of Roman Catholic theology at Har vard University in 1971-72. In 1975 he. joined Boston College as distinguished visiting professor of theology. An operation to remove a cancerous Jung in 1965 had forced him to leave teaching in Rome, and a colostomy in 1982, also because of cancer, forced him to retire from Boston Col lege in the spring of 1983. Father Lonergan and Jesuit Father Karl Rahner, who also died this year; were frequently and inevitably compared, as each worked on fundamental ques tions of a new theological syn thesis, drawing deeply from the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas but going beyond his classical framework into the framework of the modern sciences and his toriCal consciousness.

THE FASCINATING STORY
OF THE
JO(JRNEY OF CHRIST MEDAL?
a
"1984 JOURNEYS INC. ACTUAL SIZE
It all started with a very special trip to the Holy Land. Our mission was to retrace the Journey that Christ made two thousand years ago. We traveled to old and wondrous places such as Bethlehem. Jerusalem, Jericho, Cana, NazaretH and Galilee. Along the way we gathered earth. sand and stone .from the roads and footpaths. As this was done, we ex· perienced a strange, thrilling and jubilant feeling knowing that it was possible that perhaps a particle of earth, a small stone or a grain of sand that had been collected had been touched by the physical footsteps of Jesus so long ago. That was quite a feeling ~ a feeling that you can now experience for yourself. You see, the footsteps on the face of each Journey of Christ Medal have been Hlled with a special glazing mixture containing the earth. sand and stone that was collected. This unique feature along with the symbolic de· sign acts as a constant reminder. of the Jour ney that Ch~ist made for all of us. .
THE SPECIAL DESIGN AND WHAT IT MEANS The unitying Christian symbol of the cross is strongly evident on the face of each medal. Footsteps are superimposed on the cross to symbolize the eternal impact that Jesus made on earth as He journeyed about teaching and healing. As an Added Feeture an engraved map which retraces the Journey of Christ appears on the back of each me~al.
GEN(JINE HOL Y LAND EARTH AND SAND We have taken particular care to document the authenticity of the Holy Land earth and sand used to fill the footsteps on the face of the Journey of Christ Medal.
