Vale Reverend Emeritus Professor Francis Moloney AM FAHA SDB 1940 – 2025

Francis was elected to the Academy in 1990 as a much-published and eminent New Testament scholar of international repute. He held a Licentiate in Theology from the Salesian Pontifical Institute (Rome), and a Licence in Sacred Scripture from the Pontifical Biblical Institute (Rome).

Deeply imbued with the Salesian spirit, for Francis theological education was about the growth of the whole person, intellect, body and spirit, on the way to the fulness of life offered by the Gospel.

We extend our sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. He will be greatly missed.

An obituary is being prepared by Emeritus Professor Brendan Byrne SJ FAHA and will be available in due course.
