Biographical Note Michael P. Foley
holds a doctorate in Catholic systematic theology and is an associate
professor of Patristics in the Great Texts Program at Baylor University.
Before coming to Baylor, he taught at Boston College and the University of
Notre Dame. Foley has published
over 100 essays and reviews ranging from scholarly articles in peer-reviewed
journals to popular or pastoral pieces in First
Things, The Latin Mass, and The Wall Street Journal. His interests include theology, liturgy,
political philosophy, film, and popular culture. Foley has edited or
authored several books including Frank Sheed’s
classic translation of St. Augustine’s Confessions
(Hackett, 2006), Why Do Catholics
Eat Fish on Friday? The Catholic Origin to Just About Everything (Palgrave
Macmillan, 2005), and Wedding Rites: A
Complete Guide to Traditional Vows, Music, Ceremonies, Blessings, and
Interfaith Services (Eerdmans, 2008). Foley has also
appeared on numerous radio programs as well as several Eternal Word
Television Network programs, including “EWTN Live”
with Fr. Mitch Pacwa and “Bookmark” with Doug Kreck. A southern
California native of Irish and French Canadian descent, Michael Foley now
lives happily in unjustly defamed Waco, Texas, with his wife Alexandra and
their six children. He is the Master of Ceremonies at his local parish for
the celebration of the extraordinary form of the Roman rite (aka the
Tridentine rite or traditional Latin Mass) and wishes he had more time for
fishing, reading, and classic cars. |
