Standing at the front of his intellectual heritage class, he doesn’t look that different from his students. Clad in jeans and a baggy sweater, he greets each of them by name as they approach. Even when they’re late. How chivalrous, you might think?

Absolutely. Although he’s not in shining armor, visiting assistant professor Craig J. N. de Paulo is every inch a knight. Twice over, in fact.

Last April, he received the Knighthood of Merit in the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St. George from His Royal Highness, Prince Don Carlos di Borbone delle Due Sicilie. And if that wasn’t enough of a mouthful, six months later the Knighthood of Magisterial Grace in the Sovereign Military Hospitaler Order of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta was conferred upon him.

“The Order of St. George and the Knights of Malta are both Catholic orders. You have to receive these knighthoods either from the Pope, who is the highest of sovereigns, or the king of a sovereign state,” explained Paulo.

Knighthoods are awarded based on merit and service. The Order of Malta, which is the oldest chivalric order, dating back to before the Crusades, is particularly service-oriented.

One of Paulo’s service projects involves working with the Hispanic community in Camden. He also is president of the St. Peter’s Institute, a center that promotes the role of religion and philosophy in classical education.

His office is lined with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves filled with volumes of history, philosophy and literature. On the wall and in display cases are medals and insignia of his offices. There are several pictures of him with the Pope. He even has his very own coat of arms.

Paulo maintains a Web site that provides more information about his titles and his work at www.cjndepaulo.com. He also has many links to intellectual heritage resources.

Craig J. N. de Paulo, visiting assistant professor of humanities, displays the insignia of a Knight of Merit of the Order of St. George, one of two knighthoods he received last year. Paulo, who is very active in community service, also is a knight in the Order of Malta, the only chivalric order to date back to before the Crusades.

Intellectual Heritage professors Patrick Messina and Dr. Craig de Paulo are both influential members of the Philadelphia chapter of the Knights of Malta, a Catholic military order dating back to the Crusades. They hosted seven guests at the Union League on Broad Street for a symposium on just-war theory and its potential applications in the Middle East.

"There can be no abandoning of just-war principles," said Avery Cardinal Dulles, the ranking member of the Catholic Church in attendance, in his opening address. "The infliction of harm has to be justified."

De Paulo, who served as moderator for the event, later spelled out the "five plus two" principles for just war as established by St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas: "legitimate authority, just cause, right intention, [striking] military targets only, and [war as] a last resort...as well as a serious possibility of success" and a measure of "proportionality," which requires that more lives would be spared by taking action than by not.
