SUMMARY:Master Class on "Bishop Bartolomé de las Casas\, OP: Christian Faith and Amerindian Rights"
DESCRIPTION:Open to current university students and faculty. A link to the readings will be provided for registrants. \nThis class offers an in-depth overview of the life and writings of the irrepressible friar Bishop Bartolomé de las Casas\, O.P. (1484-1566)\, identified by friend and foe as the “Protector of the Indians.” Since youth\, Las Casas was intimately bound to the old and new worlds of Europe and the Indies\, traversing the Atlantic at least a half dozen times during his life. He was a Renaissance churchman par excellence\, inhabiting the various duties and roles of missionary preacher\, theologian\, bishop\, historian\, political philosopher\, and canon lawyer. Incredibly\, his legal advocacy and literary output was wholly dedicated to accounting for the injustices perpetrated by Spaniards against the native peoples of the Indies while defending their freedom and rights against European political domination and religious coercion to the faith. \nIn order to facilitate class discussion\, each session will focus on a distinct yet interrelated theme that generally corresponds to two phases of the friar’s life: before his appointment to the episcopate of Chiapa in New Spain (1484-1543) and after (1544-1566). Session I chiefly considers the transformation of Las Casas from priest-encomendero to a Dominican theorist and practitioner of peaceful evangelization. Session II focuses on his advocacy on behalf of Amerindian rights as bishop of Chiapa in the New World and back in Spain. \nREQUIRED READINGS \nBartolomé de las Casas\, The Only Way\, eds. Helen Rand Parish and Francis Patrick Sullivan (Paulist Press\, 1992)\, pp. 63-84; 112-116; 120-125 \n—–. Indian Freedom\, ed. Francis Patrick Sullivan\, S.J.
