	Opus Dei - News - University of the Holy Cross grants first three honorary doctorates
		The first one receiving an honorary degree was Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, archbishop of Milan, who dedicated his "lectio" to the topic, "The Encyclical Veritatis Splendor Today: the relation between truth and freedom." "Our times are especially menaced by the temptation to rob human freedom of its essential and constitutive relation to truth," said the cardinal.
		In his presentation, which he decided to entitle, "Confessions of a Canon Lawyer," he covered his own academic itinerary, originating from two fundamental concepts: that of "legal relation" as the foundation of the canonical system and that of the canonical code understood as a system of legal relations governed by the principle of justice.
		The three new doctors "honoris causa," besides having contributed in distinct ways to the development of the University of the Holy Cross, have lent in the course of their careers, with an authentic "university" spirit, a loyal service to truth.
