SUMMARY:Friends in Heaven: Edmund Campion and the Martyrs of England & Wales
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. This event will be held online through Zoom (registration required) and live-streamed to YouTube. This event is co-presented with the Bollandist Society and America Media. \n“The expense is reckoned\, the enterprise is begun; it is of God; it cannot be withstood.” With these bold words Edmund Campion\, SJ\, communicated to Her Majesty’s Privy Council in 1581 the Catholic plan to restore the faith in England.  On December 1\, the Church celebrates Campion and his fellow martyrs of England and Wales.  They did not succeed in restoring the faith\, but they did carry out one of the most dangerous and fascinating clandestine missions in the history of the Church.  “Friends in Heaven” explores the origin\, activities\, and ultimate demise of these men\, as well as the lay Catholics who aided them\, in the Elizabethan age\, and concludes with a brief discussion of how they came to be canonized. \n\nPresented on the feast day of St. Edmund Campion\, this event continues our event series on the saints\, examining the lives of the martyrs of England and Wales. \nPrevious events in this series: \n\n“Venerating the Saints: An Ancient Tradition Actual Today” with Fr. John O’Malley\, S.J.

SUMMARY:Food Insecurity in the U.S.: Insights from Catholic Social Thought and Economics
DESCRIPTION:7:00 PM CST / 8:00 PM EST\nFree and open to the public. The event will be held online over Zoom and will be livestreamed on YouTube. This event is co-presented with the Catholic Research Economists Discussion Organization (CREDO)\, and is co-sponsored by America Media\, Catholic Charities USA\, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago\, the Center for Social Concerns at the University of Notre Dame\, the Department of Justice\, Peace and Human Development for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops\, and the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities (LEO). \nFood insecurity has become a leading indicator of well-being in the U.S. due to the tens of millions of food insecure Americans and the accordant negative physical and mental health outcomes and higher health care costs.  Its importance has become even more stark during COVID-19\, as rates are predicted to rise by almost 50% in 2020 in comparison to 2019.  Join us for a discussion of food insecurity in the context of Catholic Social Thought with a panel comprised of a theologian\, Margaret Pfeil (University of Notre Dame)\, and of economists Bruce Weber (Oregon State)\, and Craig Gundersen (University of Illinois)\, moderated by economist Chris Barrett (Cornell). \n\nAdditional reading on food insecurity and work of our cosponsor\, Catholic Charities: https://www.catholiccharitiesusa.org/story/as-food-insecurity-rises-pantries-work-overtime-to-meet-the-growing-need/

SUMMARY:A Catholic Life in the Secular University: A Conversation with George Dennis O'Brien
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by Commonweal Magazine\, and the Sheil Catholic Center at Northwestern University. This event is presented by the Lumen Christi Institute Forum on the Church in Higher Education as part of its Liberal Arts Colloquium.\nJohn F. Kennedy once quipped that a Catholic would be president of the United States before a Catholic would be president of Harvard. As the Catholic president of two secular universities\, Dennis O’Brien was a trailblazer. In this interview\, O’Brien discusses his long career in higher education as a Catholic\, a philosopher\, and an administrator\, with reflections on the past\, present\, and future of American higher education. \nO’Brien was raised in a south-side Chicago parish in the 1930s and 1940s. Educated at Yale\, he came to the University of Chicago to write a PhD on Hegel. He was appointed president of Bucknell in 1976 and the University of Rochester in 1984. O’Brien’s varied career offers a fascinating window onto the history of American higher education in the twentieth century. Philosopher and fellow Hegelian Mark Alznauer will conduct this interview\, focusing on higher education both Catholic and secular\, as well as O’Brien’s experiences growing up in Chicago and attending the University of Chicago.

SUMMARY:Is there a Catholic Vote? An Evangelical Vote? Religion\, Polls and Presidential Elections
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nFree and open to the public. This event will be held online through Zoom (registration required) and YouTube live-stream. This event is cosponsored by America Media and the Institute for Human Ecology. \nThe 2020 presidential race seemed to highlight the central role of religion in the electorate. Democrats spent heavily on campaign ads emphasizing Joe Biden’s Roman Catholicism. President Trump has spent the past four years courting Evangelicals and conservative Catholics. But is there really a religious vote? In this panel\, experts will examine the relationship between religion\, polls\, and presidential elections.
