Daniel Patrick Horan OFM (born 1983) is an American Franciscan friar, Catholic priest, theologian, and author. He is currently the director of the Center for Spirituality and professor of Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Theology at Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana.[2][3] He previously held the Duns Scotus Chair of Spirituality at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. He is a columnist for National Catholic Reporter.[4]

Early life and education

Horan was born on November 15, 1983, in Pensacola, Florida. He studied theology (in the School of Arts and Sciences) and journalism (in the Jandoli School of Journalism) at St. Bonaventure University,[5] and studied in the Master of Arts in systematic theology and Master of Divinity programs at the Washington Theological Union.[6] He earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in systematic theology from Boston College.[1]

Career

Horan taught in the Department of Religious Studies at Siena College in Loudonville, New York, and summer courses in the Department of Theology at St. Bonaventure University, the School of Theology and Ministry at Boston College, and at Catholic Theological Union. He serves on the Board of Trustees of St. Bonaventure University[5] and the Board of Regents of Franciscan School of Theology. He previously served several terms on the International Thomas Merton Society Board of Directors[7] and is a former columnist at America.[8][9]

Horan has written on Franciscan theology, philosophy, and spirituality[10] as well as given lectures and delivered academic papers (around the United States, Canada, and Europe) on the theological and social significance of the work of Thomas Merton.[11] He has also given workshops and delivered lectures on the intersection of the millennial generation and spirituality.[12] His current work focuses on postmodern thought and the use of medieval Franciscan thinkers like John Duns Scotus as well as the authentic retrieval of their thought for contemporary theological inquiry; the life, work and thought of Thomas Merton; and contemporary systematic and constructive theologies.[13]

Horan is known for leading retreats.[9]

Controversy

Horan is an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ people on various social media platforms.[14] He has spoken publicly on matters that is against the U.S. Bishops Doctrine Committee statement on the Catholic conception of the human person.[15] Horan persists in his belief despite the fact that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has declared that the importance and the meaning of sexual difference, as a reality deeply inscribed in man and woman, needs to be noted. [16] In addition, Horan has denied the teaching of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Catechism of the Catholic Church that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered and can in no case be approved of."[17] [18] [19]
