21Reovirus protein σ1: From cell attachment to protein oligomerization and folding mechanismsBioessays 16 (3): 199-206. 1994.The reovirus cell attachment protein σ1 is a lollipopshaped structure with the fibrous tail anchored to the virion. Since it interacts with the cell receptor, σ1 is a major determinant of reovirus infectivity and tissue tropism. Studies on its structure‐function relationships have been facilitated by the fact that protein σ1 produced in any expression system is capable of binding to cell receptors. The use of site‐specific and deletion mutants has led to the identification and characterization o…Read more

19The Eucharist and the Ministerial Priesthood a Reply to Kenneth Collins and Jerry WallsPerichoresis 18 (5): 3-19. 2020.In chapters 9 and 10 of their book Roman but Not Catholic, Kenneth Collins and Jerry Walls criticize the Roman Catholic positions on the Eucharist as a sacrifice and on the ministerial priesthood. I reply to their historical and theological objections, and defend the belief that the Eucharistic sacrifice, the Mass, is a re-presentation, or making present, of Jesus’s redemptive sacrifice on Calvary, and a key component in God’s incarnational strategy for redeeming us.

10Back to 'Things in Themselves': A Phenomenological Foundation for Classical Realism (review)Review of Metaphysics 42 (4): 852-852. 1989.Seifert explains here the distinctiveness of the method of phenomenology and, above all, seeks to reclaim the method from the idealists and for classical realism.

6Making Men Moral: Civil Liberties and Public Morality (review)Review of Metaphysics 50 (4): 891-892. 1997.Robert George of Princeton University challenges the fundamental dogma of contemporary political philosophy, namely, that it is wrong to "legislate morality." George's positive argument for morals legislation is in the tradition of Aristotle and Aquinas. "The idea that public morality is a public good, and that immoral acts--even between consenting adults--can therefore do public harm, has not been refuted by liberal critics of the central tradition". Chapter 1 defends this, arguing that a healt…Read more
