SUMMARY:The Salvific Power of the Inner Life of Christ: The Witness of the Ecumenical Councils
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Registration for in-person attendance is not required\, but requested. Contact us with any questions. Note the time for this event has been changed from 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. This event is cosponsored by the Harvard Catholic Forum. \nStandard accounts of salvation in both East and West typically do not include a consideration of how Christ’s inner life-his thoughts\, feelings\, and intentions- are salvific. Such an omission is inconsistent with the witness of both the Scriptures and the ecumenical councils. \nIn affirming the necessity for human salvation of Christ’s human mind and will\, the ecumenical councils implicitly affirmed the salvific value of Christ’s inner life without providing a description of its inner contents. On the basis of Scripture and both Eastern and Western traditions\, such a description can be summarized by the notion of Christ’s saving “doxological contrition”. \nFr. Anatolios will also lead a master class for students and faculty on Friday\, October 22 on The Doctrine of Salvation in Nicholas Cabasilas’s The Life in Christ. \n\n\nThis convening is open to all invitees regardless of vaccination status and\, because of ongoing health risks\, particularly to the unvaccinated\, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing\, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional.

SUMMARY:Conversation on "The Rage of Innocence"
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Presented by the Loyola University Chicago School of Law and the Catholic Criminal Justice Reform Network. Cosponsored by the Catholic Lawyers Guild of Chicago. \nA discussion of The Rage of Innocence: How America Criminalizes Black Youth with author and Professor Kris Henning in conversation with Pulitzer Prize winning author of Locking Up Our Own\, Professor James Forman\, Jr. \nIn January 2019\, Pope Francis told the detainees at a Panamanian youth prison: “You are part of [God’s] family; you have a lot to share with others.”  A fruitful society\, he said\, “is able to generate processes of inclusion and integration\, of caring and trying to create opportunities and alternatives that can offer new possibilities to the young\, to build a future through community\, education and employment. Such a community is healthy.”  Unfortunately\, our communities fail to offer a healthy\, inclusive\, and caring environment for court-involved youth–particularly youth of color–as Professor Kris Henning dramatically reveals. \nIn a searing and clear indictment of the juvenile and criminal legal system\, Kris Henning draws on her 25 years of representing young people accused of crimes to show the day-to-day brutalities endured by Black youth growing up under constant surveillance and persistent threat of physical and psychological abuse by police. Join Profs. Henning and Forman in a discussion of her critical and timely new book.

SUMMARY:A Life in Service of the Truth: The Legacy of Fr. Paul Mankowski\, SJ
DESCRIPTION:Fr. Paul Mankowski (1953 – 2020) was a brilliant essayist\, a singular wit\, and a devoted son of the Church. Born in South Bend\, Indiana\, he put himself through the University of Chicago while working summers in a steel mill. Called to a vocation with the Society of Jesus\, Fr. Paul entered the novitiate in 1976 before studying Classics at Oxford and Semitic languages at Harvard. \nThough lacking all instincts for self-promotion\, Fr. Paul quickly gained a reputation for his erudition and his razor-sharp intellect.  He suffered greatly for his loyalty to the Church before finding a home at the Lumen Christi Institute at the University of Chicago. Having returned to his alma mater\, he served as a fulcrum of intellectual and spiritual formation for countless students. In passing away unexpectedly on September 3\, 2020\, Fr. Paul Mankowski left a legacy of principled and courageous allegiance to the Church and her tradition of integrated intellectual and spiritual life. \nThis event will celebrate the life and legacy of Fr. Paul Mankowski through a conversation with Professor Gary Anderson (University of Notre Dame)\, who will comment on Fr. Paul’s work as a scholar. and Fr. Kevin Flannery\, SJ ( Pontifical Gregorian University)\, who will reflect on Fr. Paul’s life as a Jesuit (with Fr. Paul’s letters as a point of departure).

SUMMARY:Conscience and Human Rights in Thomas Aquinas and Some Predecessors
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Registration is required. Contact us with any questions. Note the time for this event has been changed from 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. \nIn discussions of the history of the philosophy of human rights\, typically a distinction is made between theories that understand rights as objective and those that understand them as subjective (or\, to use a more contemporary term\, more “personalistic”).  This talk relates this issue to the history of reflection\, especially by Christian thinkers leading up to the thirteenth century\, regarding conscience.  It argues ultimately that Thomas Aquinas’s understanding of conscience\, influenced as it is by Aristotle\, entails an understanding of human rights that is primarily objective.  It concludes with a few remarks about the advantages of such an understanding. \n\nThis convening is open to all invitees regardless of vaccination status and\, because of ongoing health risks\, particularly to the unvaccinated\, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing\, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19\, particularly for those unvaccinated.
