SUMMARY:Catholic Reform: The Council of Trent and the Catholic Enlightenment
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures. \nAbout Ulrich Lehner’s recent book The Catholic Enlightenment: \n“Whoever needs an act of faith to elucidate an event that can be explained by reason is a fool\, and unworthy of reasonable thought.” This line\, spoken by the notorious 18th-century libertine Giacomo Casanova\, illustrates a deeply entrenched perception of religion\, as prevalent today as it was hundreds of years ago. It is the sentiment behind the narrative that Catholic beliefs were incompatible with the Enlightenment ideals. Catholics\, many claim\, are superstitious and traditional\, opposed to democracy and gender equality\, and hostile to science. It may come as a surprise\, then\, to learn that Casanova himself was a Catholic. In The Catholic Enlightenment\, Ulrich L. Lehner points to such figures as representatives of a long-overlooked thread of a reform-minded Catholicism\, which engaged Enlightenment ideals with as much fervor and intellectual gravity as anyone. Their story opens new pathways for understanding how faith and modernity can interact in our own time. \nLehner begins two hundred years before the Enlightenment\, when the Protestant Reformation destroyed the hegemony Catholicism had enjoyed for centuries. During this time the Catholic Church instituted several reforms\, such as better education for pastors\, more liberal ideas about the roles of women\, and an emphasis on human freedom as a critical feature of theology. These actions formed the foundation of the Enlightenment’s belief in individual freedom. While giants like Spinoza\, Locke\, and Voltaire became some of the most influential voices of the time\, Catholic Enlighteners were right alongside them. They denounced fanaticism\, superstition\, and prejudice as irreconcilable with the Enlightenment agenda. \nIn 1789\, the French Revolution dealt a devastating blow to their cause\, disillusioning many Catholics against the idea of modernization. Popes accumulated ever more power and the Catholic Enlightenment was snuffed out. It was not until the Second Vatican Council in 1962 that questions of Catholicism’s compatibility with modernity would be broached again. \nTo view photos of Lehner’s lecture\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nYou can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music.

SUMMARY:Schola Antiqua Concert: Music in Secret
DESCRIPTION:British organist and Renaissance music historian Naomi Gregory leads the women of Schola Antiqua in a wide-ranging program of music from medieval and early modern convents. “Music in Secret” offers some of the earliest known polyphony associated with nuns from the anonymous 1543 collection of printed partbooks Musica quinque vocum. In addition to plainchant sung from a recently unveiled source at the Art Institute of Chicago\, Schola Antiqua’s program will include the music of Sulpitia Cesis\, a nun from the northern Italian city of Modena. Gregory will also perform keyboard works linked to Italian convents. Guest viola da gamba player Cora Swenson Lee will provide accompaniment with Gregory. The program is generously sponsored by the Lumen Christi Institute. \nSchola Antiqua will perform the same concert on Friday\, October 20 at Rockefeller Memorial Chapel. \nTo view photos of the concert\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page.

SUMMARY:The Power of the Sacred: An Alternative to the Narrative of Disenchantment
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public \nCosponsored by the John U. Nef Committee on Social Thought \n\n\nDisenchantment is one of the key concepts in the self-understanding of “modernity.” It was introduced by Max Weber\, but its precise meaning in his writings and in the discourse of modernity is quite controversial. This lecture is based on a new book in which Hans Joas traces this concept through Weber’s writings\, criticizes it in fundamental respects\, and develops an alternative understanding of the connections between the history of power and the processes of sacralization.

SUMMARY:Master Class on "Saint Thomas Aquinas on the Metaphysics of Evil"
DESCRIPTION:Registration Required. Open to current students and faculty. Copies of the readings will be provided. \nTo view photos of the master class\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nSaint Thomas Aquinas’s general conception of evil is very well known\, and very simple.  Evil\, he holds\, is nothing other than privation of due good.  This conception has sometimes been criticized\, as not adequate to our experience of evil or to certain types of evil.  It is also connected with other controversial positions of his\, such as that no one directly intends evil.  And it is not easy to square with his own view that evil can specify moral acts and habits. \nIn order to evaluate Thomas’s conception of evil\, and also in order to understand fully his treatment of specific forms of evil such as sin and vice\, we need to study his fundamental\, metaphysical account of the nature and causes of evil.  His most complete presentation of the account is in two Quaestiones of the First Part of the Summa theologiae.  The seminar will consist mainly in working through these passages and discussing the questions that arise. \nPrimary Readings \n\nThomas Aquinas\, Summa theologiae\, I\, qq. 48-49.  Please bring this to the seminar.  The Latin version is of course recommended\, but not required.  PDFs of an English translation\, and of the optional readings\, will be provided for the participants via a web link.\n\nOptional Background and Secondary Readings \n\nThomas Aquinas\, Summa theologiae\, I\, q. 5.\nStephen L. Brock\, “Dead Ends\, Bad Form: the Positivity of Evil in the Summa theologiae\,” in The Critical Guide to the Summa Theologiae\, Cambridge University Press [forthcoming].\nLawrence Dewan\, O.P.\, “St. Thomas and the First Cause of Moral Evil\,” in Lawrence Dewan\, O.P.\, Wisdom\, Law\, and Virtue: Essays in Thomistic Ethics\, Fordham University Press\, New York 2007\, Chapter 11\, pp. 186-96 (with notes on pp. 546-7).\nJohn F.
