<p><strong>The Epstein Affair, President Reif, and Catholic Doctrine about Cooperation in Evil</strong></p>
<p>The recent scandal involving MIT professors and departments taking money from Jeffrey Epstein has led some people to call for the resignation of President Reif because, as one person put it, “interactions with [Epstein] were … inexcusably immoral.” This
Monday, October 7, at 8:15 in the W11 MDR, Fr. Moloney will lead a discussion about this claim. Is <em>every</em> interaction with someone like Epstein immoral? Is it possible to live and flourish in a fallen world while never interacting with sinners? We’ll
introduce the Catholic doctrine about cooperating with evil, and use the Epstein scandal as a case study for thinking about how we should and should not relate with sinners. Pizza will be served.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) and Course in the Fundamentals of the Catholic Faith:</strong>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fr. Moloney will be offering a class in the fundamentals of the Catholic faith on Sundays @ 11:15 AM in W11/SDR. The class will cover everything from the Trinity to Church history to the Sacraments, prayer, and the moral life.
It is meant to be both a high-level introduction to the faith appropriate for interested non-Catholics, and a serious review of the faith for those who are Catholics. It is required for those in becoming Catholic, being Baptized, receiving First Communion,
or being Confirmed (who should also reach out to Fr. Moloney to set up a time to talk individually (dmoloney@mit.edu).

<p><strong>Melchizedek Group for Priestly Vocations:</strong><strong> </strong>Fr. Moloney will lead a discussion group about the nature of the priestly vocation and how to discern if God is calling you to the “order of Melchizedek” (Heb. 5:6, 7:17) using the
book To Save a Thousand Souls. We meet on Mondays 5-6PM. To attend doesn’t mean that you are thinking about entering the seminary, or even that you’re not dating. It can simply mean that you’re interested in supporting others think about the priesthood. Contact <a href="mailto:mteodros@mit.edu">mteodros@mit.edu</a> if
interested. Books are available from Father's office in W11.</p>

<p><strong>Fiat Group for Women’s Discernment:</strong>: Fr. Moloney will lead a reading and discussion group about the nature of the vocation to celibacy in religious life, and how to discern if God is calling us to be “like the angels in heaven" (Matthew
22:30). Meeting times Wednesdays at 6-7 PM. To attend doesn’t mean that you are thinking about entering the convent, or even that you’re not dating. It can simply mean that you’re interested in supporting others who are thinking about religious life. If interested, Contact <a href="mailto:gwynethj@mit.edu">gwynethj@mit.edu</a> if
