SUMMARY:Spring Non-Credit Course on the Sacraments
DESCRIPTION:6:00 Dinner | 6:30 Lecture\n\nIntended for current students and faculty. Others interested in attending please contact info@lumenchristi.org. Registrants are free to attend as many sessions as they choose. \nREGISTER HERE \nJesus’ words and actions during his hidden life and public ministry were already salvific\, for they anticipated the power of his Paschal mystery. They announced and prepared what he was going to give the Church when all was accomplished. The mysteries of Christ’s life are the foundations of what he would henceforth dispense in the sacraments\, through the ministers of his Church\, for “what was visible in our Savior has passed over into his mysteries.”\n— from the Catechism of the Catholic Church\, #1115\, quoting St. Leo the Great\, Sermo 74\, 2\, \nThis course will examine the doctrine\, history\, and theology of the seven sacraments\, along with a discussion of contemporary pastoral concerns. No previous knowledge of or instruction in Catholic sacramental theology is presumed. \nApril 5               The Sacrament of Penance \nApril 12             The Sacrament of Holy Orders \nApril 26             The Sacrament of Baptism \nMay 3                 The Sacrament of the Eucharist \nMay 10              The Sacrament of Confirmation \nMay 17              The Sacrament of Extreme Unction \nMay 24              The Sacrament of Matrimony

SUMMARY:Sacred Violence: The Legacy of René Girard
DESCRIPTION:A panel discussion with William Cavanaugh (DePaul University)\, Jean-Luc Marion (University of Chicago)\, and James B. Murphy (Dartmouth College) at the University of Chicago on April 7\, 2016. \nRené Girard (1923-2015) has been described as the Darwin of the human sciences for his theories of the origin of violence and religion and the imitative character of human behavior (mimesis). His books\, among them Violence and the Sacred and Things Hidden since the Foundation of the World\, span the fields of Literary Criticism\, Psychology\, Anthropology\, Sociology\, History\, Biblical Hermeneutics and Theology. While his theories have attracted many devoted disciples\, Girard has also sparked controversy for his sweeping general claims\, tendentious readings of canonical works\, and his explicitly Christian perspective. This panel discussion will consider the significance of Girard’s thought for the human sciences. \n\ncosponsored by the John U. Nef Committee on Social Thought and the Theology & Religious Ethics Workshop

SUMMARY:master class on The Morality of Exchange: Bargaining and Gift-Giving in Thomas Aquinas and Pope Benedict XVI
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nThis master class is open to graduate and undergraduate students\, including non-University of Chicago students. Space is limited and offered on a first-come\, first-served basis. Copies of the readings will be provided. \nPope Benedict’s 2009 Encyclical-Letter\, Caritas in veritate\, breaks new ground in the tradition of Catholic social teaching by explicitly calling for a new theory of economic exchange. Whereas the traditional scholastic theory of the “just price” was focused on “the principle of the equivalence in value of exchanged goods” (par. 35)\, a new theory of exchange must focus instead on “a metaphysical understanding of the relations between persons” (par. 53). True\, Thomas Aquinas pioneered this new approach to the morality of exchange when he argued that the Golden Rule must take precedence over the logic of the just price: the relation between persons must trump the relation between the goods exchanged. Caritas in veritate argues further for a new theory of exchange that combines elements of mutual gain with elements of gift-giving. Here again we see a revision of traditional scholastic theory in which every transaction was defined exclusively either as a unilateral gift (subject to norms of distributive justice and charity) or as a bilateral exchange (subject to norms of commutative justice). Benedict\, by contrast\, calls for a vision of economic life in which gift-giving and exchange are mixed\, so that bargains are “redolent with the spirit of gift” (par. 37) in a new “economy of gratuitousness” (par. 38). According to Benedict\, economic bargains are self-interested while gifts stem from altruistic love. I will call this sharp contrast into question by revising the traditional scholastic analysis of the just price\, which was focused on the equality of the goods exchanged and instead focus on the moral equality of the parties to an exchange. \nDiscussion Questions \n\nWhat is a just price? How is a just price related to a market price? Can the government impose a just price on goods?\nIs economic exchange inherently self-interested? Is there a place for love in the marketplace?\nWhat is a gift? Do all gifts involve exchange? Why do bribes often take the form of gifts? Why do people often resent receiving “charity”?\nWhat does Benedict mean by “an economy of gratuitousness”?\nWhat matters most for justice? Equality of the commodities exchanged or the equality of the parties to an exchange?\n\nReadings: \n\nThomas Aquinas on Justice in Buying and Selling.\nEncyclical Letter of Benedict XVI: Caritas in Veritate\nJames Bernard Murphy: The Morality of Bargaining (Journal of Business Ethics 2011 (100: 79-88).g

SUMMARY:Interpreting Pope Francis: Evangelization and the Family
DESCRIPTION:cosponsored by the Theology and Religious Ethics Workshop \nThis lecture will address the potential changes in the Catholic Church’s approach to marriage and family life to result from the Extraordinary Synod on the Family convened by Pope Francis this month.

SUMMARY:Sin as Self-Sabotage: Saint Augustine on Ravishing One's Own Ruin
DESCRIPTION:When St. Augustine innocuously yet infamously stole some pears in his youth\, he confessed that he did it simply because he was in love with his own ruin.  Have you ever looked at your sins as the way you destroy that which you do not like about yourself?  Fr. Meconi’s talk will draw from this Augustinian insight that sin is really a form of self-sabotage\, a way of keeping ourselves away from an intimacy and a love we all know we in no way deserve.

SUMMARY:Reception for A Godly Humanism: Clarifying the Hope That Lies Within
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reception to celebrate the recently released book A Godly Humanism: Clarifying the Hope that Lies Within (CUA Press\, 2015) by the late Francis Cardinal George\, O.M.I. on the one-year anniversary of his passing. \n\n\nFinished by Francis Cardinal George\, O.M.I. nine days before his death\, A Godly Humanismoffers an account of the Catholic intellectual life by one of the most gifted thinkers to serve as bishop in the American Church. It draws on figures such as St. Augustine\, St. Thomas Aquinas\, St. John Paul II\, and Pope Benedict XVI to express a vision of the Church as a communion built around the relationship of God to human beings and of human beings to one another. The book provides a starting point for the interpretation of “Pope Francis’s Magisterium [as] evidence of another horizon having been opened more clearly for believers.”

SUMMARY:The Inquisition: What Really Happened?
DESCRIPTION:The Inquisition is a subject of much cultural fascination\, invoking images of book burnings and gruesome executions. Yet these were only a small part of the activities of a vast and complex organization\, involved in many subtler aspects of society\, from the regulation of prostitution and homosexuality\, to the development of copyright\, to prescribing differences between elite and lower class education.  This panel of experts on the history of the Inquisition will discuss the realities behind the myths about this vast effort at information control\, torn between many different goals and powers\, and staffed by members who were often scholars or scientists themselves.
