SUMMARY:Symposium on "Catholicism and Democracy"
DESCRIPTION:Listen to the symposium as a podcast episode. 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 symposium\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nFree and open to the public. Persons with disabilities who may need assistance should contact us at 773-955-5887 or by email. Copies of the book will be available for sale by the Seminary Coop Bookstore at the event. \nABOUT THE BOOK \nLooking at leading philosophers and political theologians—among them Joseph de Maistre\, Alexis de Tocqueville\, and Charles Péguy—Perreau-Saussine shows how the Church redefined its relationship to the state in the long wake of the French Revolution. \nDisenfranchised by the fall of the monarchy\, the church in France at first embraced that most conservative of ideologies\, “ultramontanism” (an emphasis on the central role of the papacy). Catholics whose church had lost its national status henceforth looked to the papacy for spiritual authority. Perreau-Saussine argues that this move paradoxically combined a fundamental repudiation of the liberal political order with an implicit acknowledgment of one of its core principles\, the autonomy of the church from the state. However\, as Perreau-Saussine shows\, in the context of twentieth-century totalitarianism\, the Catholic Church retrieved elements of its Gallican heritage and came to embrace another liberal (and Gallican) principle\, the autonomy of the state from the church\, for the sake of its corollary\, freedom of religion. Perreau-Saussine concludes that Catholics came to terms with liberal democracy\, though not without abiding concerns about the potential of that system to compromise freedom of religion in the pursuit of other goals. \n\n\n\n“Many people think that the reconciliation of the Catholic Church and liberal democracy consummated at Vatican II represents a sudden shift. Perreau-Saussine shows to the contrary that it has deep roots in the history of the church\, and in particular in the Gallicanism of ancien regime France. Even Vatican I can be seen as a stage on this long march. This rich and fascinating book sheds much light on what this reconciliation means—and what it couldn’t mean.”—Charles Taylor\, professor emeritus\, McGill University\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The modest title of this erudite and thoughtful book belies its actual achievement. It makes an important contribution to understanding a topic that seems likely to occupy thinking people in the West for some time to come: the general relation between politics and religion in the modern world.”—Raymond Geuss\, author of Philosophy and Real Politics\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Catholicism and Democracy is a wonderfully fresh interpretation of the fascinating and tortuous path of Catholic political theology over the last two hundred years. With its strong narrative\, this original book required me to turn the historical frame upside down and look at issues in a new way.”—F. Russell Hittinger\, University of Tulsa\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Catholicism and Democracy looks at some of the ironies and paradoxes inherent in the relationship of the Catholic Church to modern politics. Deftly weaving together political history and literary interpretations of that history\, Perreau-Saussine tells an important story with persuasion and brilliant insight.”—James B. Murphy\, Dartmouth College

SUMMARY:Master Class on Romano Guardini's "The End of the Modern World"
DESCRIPTION:To view photos of the master class\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nOpen to current students and faculty. Copies of the book will be provided for registrants. \nRomano Guardini (1885-1968)—Italian-born German priest—was one of the greatest Catholic minds of the 20th century. He helped shape Catholic theology between the two world wars and after\, as well as the thinking of many non-Catholics of the period. He contributed to the Liturgical Movement and influenced the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. His legacy continues to be felt through Pope Benedict\, who studied with him\, and Pope Francis\, who researched Guardini’s work as part of his graduate study. In the classic work The End of the Modern World Guardini presents a historical\, philosophical\, and theological inquiry into the nature of the modern age. \nBackground on Fr. Romano Guardini’s importance can be found HERE. \nSCHEDULE \n9:30am   Coffee & Pastries\n10:00am   Session I\n11:25am   Break\n11:35am   Session II\n1:00pm   End\, Optional Lunch

SUMMARY:The Preferential Option for the Poor Today
DESCRIPTION:One of the most important ideas in Catholic Social Teaching of the last half century is the “preferential option for the poor.” It is a phrase that describes the Church’s ethical positions in the world\, but it also conveys important theological notions about God. Though utilized across a range of magisterial texts of recent memory\, the idea finds its most substantial development from theologians on Latin American soil. It is no wonder then that the preferential option is a crucial idea that runs through the encyclicals of Pope Francis. \nThis seminar will elaborate an understanding of the phrase\, “preferential option for the poor\,” describe how it developed historically\, and suggest ways that it remains central to Catholic faith today. In particular\, it will focus on two Latin American figures who have powerfully given meaning to this phrase in their teaching and their lives: Fr. Gustavo Gutiérrez\, OP (Peru) and St. Óscar Romero (El Salvador). \nThrough a study of their writing and lived example of these important Latin American witnesses\, participants will be encouraged to reflect on how their legacies and the preferential option represent an important resource for U.S. Latinx Catholics. \nREADINGS \nGustavo Gutiérrez\, “Liberation Theology for the Twenty First Century\,” in Romero’s Legacy: The Call to Peace and Justice\, Pilar Hogan Closkey and John P. Hogan\, eds. (Lanham\, Md: Rowman & Littlefield\, 2007)\, p. 45-59. \nÓscar A. Romero\, “The Church’s Mission Today\,” a selection from his 2nd pastoral letter\, The Church\, the Body of Christ in History\, in Voice of the Voiceless: The Four Pastoral Letters and Other Statements (Maryknoll\, NY: Orbis Books\, 1985)\, p. 65-75. \n— \nThis event is part of a series on the Hispanic Catholic experience\, made possible by a generous grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute.

SUMMARY:The Life and Legacy of Saint Oscar Romero
DESCRIPTION:Listen to the address as a podcast episode. 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 talk\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nThis program was made possible in part by a grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \nJoin us for a luncheon talk on the recently canonized Óscar Romero. Since his death in 1980\, the world is still absorbing the witness of Óscar Romero\, the Archbishop of San Salvador\, martyred for his commitment to the poor and social justice. Prof. Lee will consider how Romero’s witness challenges Christians in the U.S. to reimagine a robust Christian spirituality that is at once a mystical encounter with God and a prophetic engagement in the struggle for justice. He will also reflect on the implications of the archbishop’s recognition as a martyr and on the model of holiness he offers for the wider Church today. \nProf. Lee also participated in a panel discussion of his book later that afternoon at the University of Chicago.

SUMMARY:Symposium on "Revolutionary Saint: The Theological Legacy of Oscar Romero"
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Theology Club at the University of Chicago Divinity School and Orbis Books. This program was made possible in part by a grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \nJoin us for a symposium of the recent book Revolutionary Saint: The Theological Legacy of Óscar Romero (Orbis Books\, 2018) by Michael Lee. Copies of the book will be available for sale by the Seminary Coop Bookstore at the event. \nAbout the book \nMany years after his death in 1980\, the world is still absorbing the witness of Óscar Romero\, the archbishop of San Salvador\, martyred for his commitment to the poor and social justice. In this work\, Michael E. Lee offers a profound reflection on the theological implications of Romero’s life and ministry. \nDrawing on Romero’s biography as well as his homilies and other writings\, Lee considers specifically how Romero’s witness challenges Christians in the U.S. to reimagine a robust Christian spirituality that is at once a mystical encounter with God and a prophetic engagement in the struggle for justice. In light of Romero’s beatification and canonization\, Lee reflects on the implications of the archbishop’s recognition as a martyr and on the model of holiness he offers for the wider Church today. \nProf. Lee also gave a luncheon talk in downtown Chicago earlier on the 11th on “The Life and Legacy of Saint Oscar Romero.”

SUMMARY:On Bones and Genomes: What Can Science Tell Us About Being Human?
DESCRIPTION:To view photos of the conversation\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nFree and open to the public. Part of the Lumen Christi Institute’s “Science and Religion: A Dialogue of Cultures” project generously supported by the John Templeton Foundation. \nPresented by the Veritas Forum at the University of Chicago\, the Martin Marty Center\, Cana\, Cru\, the Graduate Christian Fellowship\, Holy Trinity Church\, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship\, Living Hope Church\, the Lumen Christi Institute\, the Program on Medicine and Religion\, and the Zygon Center for Religion and Science. \nRecent advances in science and technology have made great strides in addressing some of our deepest questions about being human. These advances help us to have a better understanding of who we are\, where we came from\, and what humanity’s place in nature might be. But are there limits to what science can tell us about being human? And does religious belief have anything to contribute to answering such questions? Join us for a conversation between two world-class professors as they discuss what makes us human.
