But is it possible that the source of human creativity is simply beyond our comprehension?

"It's not unusual at Newman to talk about religious vocations at the lunch table or to find people sitting in the Chapel in their pajamas at 3 a.m.," says Johnson, who was raised Catholic. St. John's has a national reputation for turning out priests and nuns. Since 1997, it has sent 69 men and 14 women to the seminary or convent...
