Rick Snizek, executive editor of the Rhode Island Catholic, has posted a profile of me related to my being awarded a Lumen Gentium award for communication of the Catholic faith:

Katz says that being honored with the award makes him feel as if he has to redouble his efforts to deserve it.

“While I have written quite a bit that has been explicitly Catholic, I’ve tended to see my vocation as a more subtle evangelism,” he says. “In our place and time, many people are entirely unmoored from our Christian roots, and the secular culture has taught them to be suspicious of the religious presentation. Articulating the beautiful logic and practical wisdom of a worldview rooted in Catholic belief and tradition can be the force of revelation in such an environment.”

The dinner and award ceremony — also highlighting the activities of others, whom I’d concede are much more deserving than I am — is next week and, apparently, sold out.
