What is Catholic Culture? – A Catholic Vision of Culture in the 21st Century | West Suburban Catholic Culture Series
Ruth Lake Country Club 6200 South Madison Street, Hinsdale, ILJennifer Martin, University of Notre Dame
Western culture owes a great deal to Christianity, but Christianity does not require any culture, as a culture, to be built with Christian materials. This does not reflect a weakness or defect in Christianity. It is a consequence of its genius. Christianity can and should inform every human undertaking. In this series, we’ll explore various arenas where human existence is played out and discover how Christianity can transform them. Our point of departure is Remi Brague's reflection "From What is Left Over," which takes as its inspiration Pope Benedict's "The Roots of European Culture."
