Winter Weather Closings: Whenever MIT closes, or whenever the roads are unsafe for Fr. Moloney to make it into campus, it is likely that Mass or other activities will be cancelled. To receive notice that Mass is cancelled, it is important that everyone subscribe to TCCM at mit.edu, our main mailing list. To add yourself to the list go to:  http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccm.

Please keep the members of the TCC on retreat this weekend in your prayers.

Just War Theory, Catholic Ethics, and the STEM Career: A lot of researchers get their funding from sources, such as the Department of Defense or the Saudi government, with which they might have moral disagreements. Joseph Capizzi, Professor of Theology at the Catholic University of America, will give a talk explaining the principles the Catholic Church has worked out for deciding when it is “cooperating in evil” to work with or benefit from the immoral actions of others. He will also talk about how the theory that some wars can be just affects the analysis for working with the DoD. Friday, Feb. 22, at 5:30 PM in 3-270.
