A native New Yorker, Dr. Lopez is a senior fellow at the National Review Institute where she directs the Center for Religion, Culture, and Civil Society. She is also religion editor of National Review magazine, a nationally syndicated columnist with Andrews McMeel Universal, and author of A Year with the Mystics: Visionary Wisdom for Daily Living. Kathryn has received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from CUA. She speaks frequently on faith in public life, virtue, prayer, and religious freedom.
