SUMMARY:Early Modern Catholic Social Teaching and World Order
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Cosponsored by the Center for Latin American Studies\, the Early Modern and Mediterranean Worlds Workshop\, and the Ethics Club at the Divinity School. \nWestern distrust in liberal internationalism offers an opportunity for renewed theological reflection on the moral foundations of world order. After the Second World War\, transitional popes and Thomistic philosophers articulated a Christian vision of supranational society to quicken the support of universal human rights. Their personalist global ethic outlines the contribution of sixteenth-century Spanish theologians who promoted a conception of world order that affirmed the basic rights of believers and nonbelievers against the violent excesses of colonial expansion in el Nuevo Mundo. \nThe turn to early modern Catholic social teaching among Spanish theologians associated with the School of Salamanca represents an effort to break out of the Westphalian world system that dominates modern thinking about international relations. This lecture retrieves early modern Spanish theological voices to expose the colonialist underbelly of Westphalian rights discourse\, typified by Thomas Hobbes and John Locke\, and its radical domestication of the Church and human nature. Going beyond Westphalia and its anarchical view of global society enables a reconsideration of the Church’s moral witness of world order anew and the ongoing struggle for justice among dispossessed peoples besieged by aggressive forms of neocolonialism. \nOn April 6\, David Lantigua also led a Master Class on “Bishop Bartolomé de las Casas\, OP: Christian Faith and Amerindian Rights.” \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:Master Class on "Bishop Bartolomé de las Casas\, OP: Christian Faith and Amerindian Rights"
DESCRIPTION:Open to current university students and faculty. A link to the readings will be provided for registrants. \nThis class offers an in-depth overview of the life and writings of the irrepressible friar Bishop Bartolomé de las Casas\, O.P. (1484-1566)\, identified by friend and foe as the “Protector of the Indians.” Since youth\, Las Casas was intimately bound to the old and new worlds of Europe and the Indies\, traversing the Atlantic at least a half dozen times during his life. He was a Renaissance churchman par excellence\, inhabiting the various duties and roles of missionary preacher\, theologian\, bishop\, historian\, political philosopher\, and canon lawyer. Incredibly\, his legal advocacy and literary output was wholly dedicated to accounting for the injustices perpetrated by Spaniards against the native peoples of the Indies while defending their freedom and rights against European political domination and religious coercion to the faith. \nIn order to facilitate class discussion\, each session will focus on a distinct yet interrelated theme that generally corresponds to two phases of the friar’s life: before his appointment to the episcopate of Chiapa in New Spain (1484-1543) and after (1544-1566). Session I chiefly considers the transformation of Las Casas from priest-encomendero to a Dominican theorist and practitioner of peaceful evangelization. Session II focuses on his advocacy on behalf of Amerindian rights as bishop of Chiapa in the New World and back in Spain. \nREQUIRED READINGS \nBartolomé de las Casas\, The Only Way\, eds. Helen Rand Parish and Francis Patrick Sullivan (Paulist Press\, 1992)\, pp. 63-84; 112-116; 120-125 \n—–. Indian Freedom\, ed. Francis Patrick Sullivan\, S.J. (Sheed and Ward\, 1995)\, selections \nSUGGESTED READINGS \nGustavo Gutiérrez\, Las Casas: In Search of the Poor of Jesus Christ (Orbis Books\, 1993)\, trans. Robert Barr\, pp. 363-395 \nDavid Lantigua\, “Faith\, Liberty\, and the Defense of the Poor: Bishop Las Casas in the History of Human Rights\,” in Christianity and Freedom: Historical Perspectives\, eds. Timothy Shah and Allen Hertzke (Cambridge Press\, 2016)\, pp. 176-202 \nOn April 5\, David Lantigua gave a lecture on “Early Modern Catholic Social Thought and World Order.”

SUMMARY:Perseverance in the Parish? Religious Attitudes from a Black Catholic Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Cosponsored by Catholic Theological Union and the Ethics Club at the Divinity School. \nDo African-American Catholics perceive or experience aspects of racial intolerance and marginalization in their parishes? Does racial marginalization in the Church compel African-American Catholics to disengage and leave their parish? Darren Davis’ provocative new book\, Perseverance in the Parish? Religious Attitudes from a Black Catholic Perspective\, examines data from the first national survey of African American Catholics. He finds that African-American respondents\, though small in number\, are among the strongest religious identifiers in the Church. In contrast to narratives that stress the “double consciousness” of African-American Catholic churchgoers\, Davis suggests that the contemporary experiences and perspectives of black Catholics do not support this framework for understanding faith in the African-American Catholic community. His lecture will deal with the results of his survey and its implications for conversations about marginalization and racial bias in the Church. \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:"Behold How Good and How Pleasant": A Memorial Concert for Theodore C. Karp
DESCRIPTION:$25 General / $10 Students \nSchola Antiqua celebrates the life and contributions of musicologist and Northwestern University professor emeritus Theodore “Ted” C. Karp (1926-2015) with a program of music that reflects the wide-ranging areas of early music study that he touched in his fruitful career. One of the titans of plainchant scholarship\, Karp can be found in debates about the genre in its early and late stages. The ensemble explores not only plainsong but also other areas of Karp’s investigations from music of the troubadours to some of the earliest surviving polyphony in western music history. The program concludes with a full performance of Orlande de Lassus’s sonorous Prophetiae Sibyllarum. \nSchola Antiqua of Chicago also performed the same concert on Saturday\, April 14 at 8:00pm at Rockefeller Memorial Chapel at the University of Chicago. \nTo view photos of the April 14 performance\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page.

SUMMARY:The Future of Liberalism: Relativism Confronts St. Augustine
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Cosponsored by the Theology Club at the Divinity School. \nThe future of political liberalism is a topic much discussed in recent scholarly books and popular journals. This lecture will integrate the recent argument of Patrick Deneen in Why Liberalism Failed\, beginning where the book leaves off by addressing the following question: If it is true\, as many have argued\, that liberalism has become morally corroded\, then can reasonable people still make a case for our continued cooperation with it? Discussing thinkers like Richard Rorty and John Rawls\, this lecture will critically examine efforts to ground contemporary liberalism in relativist views of goodness and truth. These views will be brought into dialogue with St Augustine’s reflections on Rome. It will thereby develop a perspective on how Catholics should coexist with liberalism\, which retains value as a political framework. \nProfessor Fields also led a master class seminar on “Karl Rahner’s Distinctive Theology of the Symbol” on Saturday\, April 21. \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:Master Class on "Karl Rahner’s Distinctive Theology of the Symbol"
DESCRIPTION:Open to current university students and faculty. A link to the readings will be provided for registrants. \nIn an era of outstanding theologians who made the teachings of the second Vatican Council possible\, Karl Rahner (1904-84) stands out as a titan.  A German Jesuit\, he studied under Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) in Freiburg (among others).  He taught on the faculties of Innsbruck\, Munich\, and Münster; served as a peritus at the Council and as a member of the International Theological Commission.  His chief works include Spirit in the World (1957)\, a study of Thomas Aquinas’s theory of knowledge; Hearer of the Word (1941)\, which seeks to justify humanity’s natural ability to receive and assent to a divine revelation; Foundations of Christian Faith (1976)\, a systematic exposition of Catholic belief and practice; and the renowned Theological Investigations (1954-84)\, sixteen volumes on a wide range of topics written over the course of his career. \nAs a systematic theologian\, Rahner understood his role as using some criterion according to which the revealed doctrines of Christianity could be shown to be coherent\, even while they remain mysteries not fully comprehensible to reason.  His distinctive criterion is called the Realsymbol.  Our Master Class will study what it is\, how Rahner develops it\, and how he uses it better to understand the realities that we know both by reason and by faith. \nREADINGS \nKarl Rahner\, SJ\, “The Theology of the Symbol\,” in Theological Investigations (TI)\, vol. 4\, 221-52; “Oneness and Threefoldness of God in Discussion with Islam\,” TI 18\, 105-21; “On the Theology of the Incarnation\,” TI 4\, 105-20. [23 vols\, various places\, publishers\, and dates; originally Schriften zur Theologie (Einsiedeln: Benzinger\, 1954-84)]. \nStephen Fields\, SJ\, “Realsymbol as Sacramental\,” in Being As Symbol: On the Origins and Development of Karl Rahner’s Metaphysics (Washington\, DC: Georgetown University Press\, 2001)\, 38-54. \nSCHEDULE \n9:30am   Coffee & Pastries\n10:00am   Session I\n11:25am   Break\n11:35am   Session II\n1:00pm   Lunch \nProfessor Fields also gave a lecture on “The Future of Liberalism: Relativism Confronts St. Augustine” on Thursday\, April 19.
