SUMMARY:Why Liberalism Failed
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. \nCosponsored by the John U. Nef Committee on Social Thought\, the Seminary Coop Bookstore\, and the Divinity School Theology Club. \nABOUT THE BOOK \nHas liberalism failed because it has succeeded? Of the three dominant ideologies of the twentieth century—fascism\, communism\, and liberalism—only the last remains. This has created a peculiar situation in which liberalism’s proponents tend to forget that it is an ideology and not the natural end-state of human political evolution. As Patrick Deneen argues in this provocative book\, liberalism is built on a foundation of contradictions: it trumpets equal rights while fostering incomparable material inequality; its legitimacy rests on consent\, yet it discourages civic commitments in favor of privatism; and in its pursuit of individual autonomy\, it has given rise to the most far-reaching\, comprehensive state system in human history. Here\, Deneen offers an astringent warning that the centripetal forces now at work on our political culture are not superficial flaws but inherent features of a system whose success is generating its own failure. \nYou can read recent reviews of Why Liberalism Failed in the Wall Street Journal  and the New York Times. \nProfessor Deneen also taught a master class on Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America on Friday\, February 2. \nTo view photos of the 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:The Moral Theology of Aquinas: Is it for Individuals?
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Cosponsored by the Theology Club at the Divinity School and the Hildegard of Bingen Society for Christian Thought and Culture. \nIs the moral teaching of Aquinas a purely cerebral\, speculative reflection that can hardly be correlated with practical Christian living\, or does it have a message that can be correlated with the experience and difficulties of an average individual? This lecture views the theology of Aquinas in the light of the concrete down-to earth approach focused on individuals that seems to be the basic gift of Pope Francis. It attempts to propose a reading of Aquinas that is spiritually nourishing. \nTo view photos of the lecture\, please 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. \n\nFr. Giertych also taught a master class on “Grace\, Free Choice\, and the Infused Virtues” on Friday\, February 9. \nOn Saturday\, February 10\, he joined with Notre Dame’s John C. Cavadini to lead a discussion on “The Role and Future of Theology” in the academy and the Church. View photos of that discussion.
