Prof. Leo O'Donovan, priest and former rector of Georgetown University in Washington DC, about the time he spent as a student in Münster and about Pope Francis It was at the invitation of the Center for German-American Educational History, headed by Prof. Jürgen Overhoff, that Prof. Leo J. O'Donovan , 81, returned to Münster University for a few days. Norbert Robers took the opportunity to talk to O'Donovan, a priest and the former rector of Georgetown University in Washington DC, about the time he spent as a student in Münster, about Pope Francis, and about the differences between German and American universities. You were a student at Münster University more than 40 years ago. What do you still recall today about that time? It was a very important phase in my life. It was a time in which I matured. But it was also an outstanding time theologically speaking. It was during these years that I began my development towards becoming a theologian and priest.
