From Villonova to Vatican: Alma floats Mater. It teaches 1 US pope

Wilnoova: When President of Villnoova University, Rev. Peter Donohue, a theater, was close to graduation as a student, a future was not far in the Pope Campus, studying two grade mathematics under it. The church bells lasted for hours at the Augstinian School near Philadelphia after the 1977 alumni cardinal Robert Prevost, the first pope from the United States was chosen from the United States in the history of the Catholic Church. Rev John Lidan spent 10 years living with the Pope while living on a mission in Peru. But in 1977, Lidan Wilnova also had a student commission speaker for his art and science class. He tried to give an uplift speech, focusing on overcoming the apathy. “I am sure he doesn’t miss that speech, it’s so years ago,” Lidon said with a laugh. “But, it just shows you how the grace of God works.” The school on the suburban main line near Philadelphia won the championship in 1985, 2016 and 2018, reaching the summit of the men’s college basketball three times. But celebrating a pope in his rank was truly unprecedented. A billboard in Philadelphia showed the Pope with a tagline: “From the main line to the divine line,” and the hashtag #wildcattoshepherd. Internet memes converted Pope’s Roman points V into Willanova’s logo and prophecies said that New York Nix and its Wilnoova-Laden lineup is a divine path for this year’s title. The Augustinian priests are making rounds on the National TV circuit on the campus. “We lose it,” a senior Paigie Murray of Villnoova, “, who met the leader of the world, who is now known in Rome last year as purity Pope Leo XIV. “Just shouting and cheering and crying and we know that we met him. He was quite humble and took enough care about a group of gangli college students that he wanted to say the month with us and now it is the person who is our Pope. I mean that it means the world. ,Donohue stated that Prevost had maintained his relations with Wilnoova with Donohue in decades and Pope was on the premises at an indefinite time at the end of the Vietnam war in the mid -1970s, while the Catholic Church was also in a state of change. According to the Wilnoovan Archives, the campus was gearing up for the 1977 spring graduation, thousands of balloons were issued with the aim of addressing thousands of balloons to the World Hunger, including floats, a carnival and marching band.Advertisement for cassette tape and a “college disco splash party” flew stories in the college newspaper. Donohue said that Prevost graduated from Vilnova with Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 1977 and received an honorary doctor, an honorary doctor from Mansari, to the Honorary Doctor of Humanities, Honor Cosa, from the university in 2014. Prevost hosted the Vilnova officials in Rome that year. Donohue said that the Pope is a Vilnoova basketball fan. And Donohue has noticed that whenever he or university sends messages, they can check who opens them, and the Pope does each time. Donohue said with laughter, “Someone sent me a lesson, one of the presidents of another school, said,” Three basketball championships and a pope. Do you have to win? ” Donohue said with laughter. “This is just different. It has definitely given us a lot of publicity.” Rev. Rob Hagan, who has long been serving as Chaplin of the Athletics Department of Wilnoova, spent his second year of a spiritual training boot camp to become an Augustinian 27 years ago. It was in Rasine, Wisconsin, a place where through its regional leadership positions will visit new people like the prevost hagan. He is now a former provincial in the Augustinian province of St. Thomas, Villnova. “I saw him as a patron. You did not have to be very long in his presence, before you understand how exceptionally bright he is,” said Hagan. “And yet, together with a real heat and approach.” Lidon, who lives with the Pope in Peru, said he is an excellent singer, prefers to cook and adopted Alinj Lima as his football team. Even when both of them participated in Vilnova, the Pope was a model of what a “future priest wanted,” Lidon said, who is now posted in Chicago. “He was always a very bright person, but a humble person, one you can easily talk about anything, a person is very dedicated to his faith,” Lidan said. Professor says that Privost never lost the rustic touch ‘Kevin Hughes, Professor in a Professor, a Professor, a professor, said on Thursday that he and many people who were in his office, when they heard the news, could hear the news because they could not believe in advance – an American – an American. Hughes described the prevost as a very soft soul and someone who knows how to associate with people. “When you are talking to him, he pays you full attention to you,” he said. “I think he is a very intelligent person. I think he has read very well. But he never loses a rustic touch.” 69 -year -old Prevost, Augustinian is a member of the religious order and was a former general or leader. St. Augustine was ordered in the 13th century as a community of “Mendicant” Frears dedicated to poverty, service and publicity. The requirements and ethos of the order have been detected by Hippo’s fifth -century St. Augustine, one of the religious and devotional veterans of early Christianity. Villnova is one of the two Catholic, Augustinian higher educational institutions in the US, according to its website. Inspired by the teachings of Wilnoova St. Augustine, it lies in the values of truth, unity and love. Villnova was established in 1842 and is an environment in which students learn to think seriously, act kind and succeed while serving others. Around 6,700 undergraduate and 3,100 graduates and law students are nominated at the university. Other notable people participating in Wilnoova include former first Lady Jill Biden, actor Bradley Cooper, Recording Artists Jim Crow and Toby Keith, and Basketball Stars such as Jalen Brunson, Josh Heart and Miral Bridge of the Nax. But for a Catholic University, there was nothing from teaching a pope. Donohue said, “I think the kind of emphasis on Vilnova gives an emphasis in the context of the community and construction community.” “I think he will have a lot that is that. This is the part that he is, it is part of his life as an Augustinian.”
