I have a few more profiles of brothers studying with the Legion here in Rome.
The Sure Steady Support
As I have mentioned before, I am the chief librarian. One of my biggest helpers help here is quite the opposite of me. He is a man of quiet and reserve. If we had an award for which brother lives silence the best, he would win hands down.
There are a whole bunch of jobs in a library that are very repetitive. He happily and consistently does all of these. While I am here, responding to 101 requests, he is putting the books that were dropped off or sticking new labels on the books.
I think how we work together shows how different personalities help each other to achieve an end that is beyond one or the other alone.
Il Dottore
There, right before the professor, sits the one student who has studied most. He has a medical degree and a doctorate in something I can’t quite understand regarding the frontiers of medicine. (Personally, I was more interested in physics and didn’t like the thought of cutting up dead animals suspended in formaldehyde so I never got so far in biology.)
He even had to delay his entry date to the Legion to finish his doctorate.
Now, along with our full class schedule, he teaches some course on bioethics to some of the younger brothers and works regarding neuro-bioethics. For the uninitiated, that means ethics about technology that changing how the brain operates.
I am sure this will help people. Maybe by the time we are ordained together I will understand it.
