SUMMARY:Master Class on "Jacques Maritain\, Étienne Gilson\, and the Thomist Renewal in the 20th Century: Academic and Spiritual Approaches"
DESCRIPTION:Open to current university students and faculty. PDFs of the assigned readings will be provided for those who register. \nFor the Blessed Paul VI\, Jacques Maritain (1882-1973) was a master “in the art of thinking and praying”. In 1975\, Paul VI sent a letter to Etienne Gilson (1884-1978) to thank him for his whole life devoted to the search of truth and wisdom. In  “Fides et Ratio” (1998\, n.74)\, Saint John Paul II suggested Maritain and Gilson\, among other names\, as models of thinkers to reconcile philosophy and theology\, reason and the word of God. What are the lessons taught by Maritain and Gilson that could be fruitful for the Catholics of the XXI century? \nSCHEDULE \n9:30am   Coffee & tea\n10:00am   Session I\n11:25am   Break\n11:35am   Session II\n1:00pm   End\, Lunch

SUMMARY:Christian Citizenship: A Paradox?
DESCRIPTION:You can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music. \nTo view photos of the lecture\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nTo read Tardivel’s lecture in essay form in the Notre Dame McGrath Institute for Church Life’s Church Life Journal\, click here. \nYou can download the event poster here. \nFree and open to the public. Cosponsored by the France Chicago Center. \nDoes Christian faith imply a political doctrine such as a Christian political regime? Drawing on Justin\, Tertullian\, and Augustine\, Prof. Tardivel argues that even as Christian citizenship does not refer to a political doctrine\, it nonetheless demands a certain manner of living in the city\, presenting a paradox to classical political thinking. This lecture focuses on the paradox of Christian citizenship and its implications.

SUMMARY:How Catholics Can Realize the Royal Priesthood of the Laity and Rebuild a Church in Crisis
DESCRIPTION:You can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music. \nTo view photos of the address\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nTo read the published version of the address in Commonweal\, click here. \nYou can download the event poster here. \n$30 Student (with ID) / $60 General / $600 Host Committee\nRegistration includes lunch.  \nThe Church has long taught that all baptized Christians share in Christ’s royal priesthood\, and that we are “a chosen race\, a royal priesthood\, a holy nation\, God’s own people\,” who should “declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” \nThe current crisis in which the American Church finds herself lies in a failure to realize this common priestly vocation\, and has led to clericalism\, the cover-up of sexual abuse\, lack of lay discipleship\, and a dearth of vocations. Fr. Michael Sweeney\, OP\, has developed a theology of the laity that addresses this theological misunderstanding. He has applied this theology of the laity both as co-founder of the St. Catherine of Siena Institute and as the co-founder of the Lay Mission Project of the Western Dominican Province. \nFr. Sweeney will speak to the suggestion of then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger that we ought to recognize a lay office in the Church in order to promote the full participation of the laity in the Church’s mission\, with a view to enabling a real collaboration between the laity and the hierarchy. \nFr. Sweeney also participated on a panel discussion on similar topics on the afternoon of November 15.

SUMMARY:The Catholic Church in Crisis: A Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:You can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music. \nTo read Daniels’ contribution to this panel discussion in the Notre Dame McGrath Institute for Church Life’s Church Life Journal\, click here. \nTo view photos of the panel\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nYou can view and download the poster for the event here. \nFree and open to the public. Cosponsored by the Theology Club and the Catholic Students Association. \nSince questions of sexual abuse emerged in the Church\, and in other institutions\, in the 1980s\, some dioceses have (including Chicago) demonstrated leadership in dealing with the issue. After the “Spotlight” investigation by the Boston Globe\, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops established a “zero tolerance” policy toward the commission and cover-up of abuse. This panel of Catholic scholars and professionals will review the Church’s attempt to face this issue and will consider why it has reemerged in 2018\, relating that question to broader issues of clericalism and governance in the Catholic Church. \nFr. Sweeney also gave a downtown lunch address on November 15 on a related topic\, the challenge to lay Catholics to realize the fullness of their lives as Christians.

SUMMARY:Non-Credit Course on "Faith\, Crisis\, Christ"
DESCRIPTION:6:00 Dinner | 6:30 Lecture \nThis weekly non-credit course is open to current students and faculty. Registrants are free to attend as many sessions as they choose. Sessions do not presuppose previous attendance or prior knowledge of the subject. \nThe project of fides quaerens intellectum (faith seeking understanding) is not reserved to professional theologians but is the prerogative of every thinking person\, and can be especially pressing when the claims of religion—and rationality itself—are viewed with suspicion or contempt. The twentieth century and the first decades of our own have erected formidable systems of skepticism yet also brought into the field notable creativity in addressing the problems of belief. This course will make use of classic works of anglophone Christian writers concerned to demonstrate how it is that faith permits the human person to see farther and to understand the world more deeply. \nSCHEDULE \nOCT 9: G.K. Chesterton\, The Everlasting Man. \nOCT 16: J.R.R. Tolkien\, On Fairy-Stories. \nOCT 23: C.S. Lewis\, Mere Christianity. \nOCT 30: J. Budziszewski\, The Line Through the Heart. \nNOV 6: Ronald A. Knox\, The Hidden Stream & In Soft Garments. \nNOV 13: C.S. Lewis\, The Screwtape Letters. \nNOV 20: J.R.R. Tolkien\, Selected Letters.
