SUMMARY:Partners in Charity: St. Louise de Marillac and St. Vincent de Paul
DESCRIPTION:Join us February 13 for the next event in this series on “Pledges of the Saints: the Cult of Relics in the Catholic Tradition.” \nThis event is co-presented with the Bollandist Society  \nIn this talk\, we will examine side by side the lives and legacies of two major saints of French Catholicism’s seventeenth-century golden age.  Louise de Marillac and Vincent de Paul co-founded the Daughters of Charity\, one of the most successful socially-oriented women’s congregations in the Church’s history\, when the Tridentine-era bishops were attempting to enforce strict claustration for women religious.  They also collaborated with a wide circle of lay and religious women and men of different social backgrounds in ways that transformed Christian life in and beyond France for centuries.  We will reflect on the two saints’ fruitful spiritual friendship of several decades.  We will also consider why De Marillac is far less well known than De Paul in modern times\, something that stems in part from the different trajectories their causes for sainthood took in the wake of each saint’s death\, only several months apart from the other’s\, in 1660.

SUMMARY:Laudato Si at 5-years: Towards an Ecology of Culture
DESCRIPTION:How do we develop a culture marked by an ethic of ecological awareness? In Laudato Si\, Pope Francis called for an ecological conversion to just such a culture. The ecological conversion he envisions entails more than just tinkering with technology or the economy; rather\, we must reshape our sense of culture and society. Pope Francis has asked that this year be dedicated to a reflection on the continuing importance of Laudato Si.\nHow does an ecologically aware ethic change the ways we live together\, create art\, and encounter nature? What kind of culture should we be developing to live out an ecological conversion?  How can art\, design\, and urban planning contribute to an ecology of conversion? How can we change our own lifestyles to develop an ethic of ecological awareness? How can a non-consumerist approach to the good life help save our planet? How can religion in conversation with the secular world help advance such a change in culture. \nPresented by the Collegium Institute and the Pontifical Council for Culture. Csponsored by the Lumen Christi Institute. \n\nSpeakers\n\n\nBishop Paul Tighe\n\n\nKate Soper\n\n\nMakoto Fujimura\n\n\nPhil Bess (ND)

SUMMARY:Master Class on Yves Simon on Natural Law\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Open to current graduate students. It will take place online on Zoom. Copies of the readings will be provided. Others interested in participating should contact us.\nJoin us for a master class on part II of Yves Simon’s The Tradition of Natural Law: A Philosopher’s Reflections (Fordham University Press\, 1999). \n\nABOUT THE BOOK \nThe tradition of natural law is one of the foundations of Western civilization. At its heart is the conviction that there is an objective and universal justice which transcends humanity’s particular expressions of justice. It asserts that there are certain ways of behaving which are appropriate to humanity simply by virtue of the fact that we are all human beings. Recent political debates indicate that it is not a tradition that has gone unchallenged: in fact\, the opposition is as old as the tradition itself. \nBy distinguishing between philosophy and ideology\, by recalling the historical adventures of natural law\, and by reviewing the theoretical problems involved in the doctrine\, Simon clarifies much of the confusion surrounding this perennial debate. He tackles the questions raised by the application of natural law with skill and honesty as he faces the difficulties of the subject. \nSimon warns against undue optimism in a revival of interest in natural law and insists that the study of natural law beings with the analysis of “the law of the land.” He writes not as a polemicist but as a philosopher\, and he writes of natural law with the same force\, conciseness\, lucidity and simplicity which have distinguished all his other works.

SUMMARY:Beyond Test Scores: Measuring the Contributions of Catholic Schools and Universities
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 16 for the next event in this series\, “Learning Poverty and Education Pluralism: The Global Catholic Education Report 2021.” \nCatholic schools and universities aim to educate the whole person. Beyond strong academics\, they aim to educate towards fraternal humanism. Do we have any evidence that they succeed? Based on recent research for the United States conducted under the new collaborative Global Catholic Education project (www.GlobalCatholicEducation.org)\, including a set of papers prepared for a special issue of the Journal of Catholic Education\, this webinar will explore this question. Topics to be considered include (1) whether parents sending children to Catholic schools have different priorities for what children should learn in school than other parents; (2) whether students in Catholic schools exhibit self-discipline; (3) whether different stakeholders have different worldviews for Catholic schools; (4) whether there is less violence in Catholic schools than in other schools; (5) whether going to Catholic schools is associated with particular patterns of family formation later in life; and (6) more generally\, what is meant by a Catholic identity. While the discussion will focus in large part on schools\, implications for Catholic universities will also be discussed. After a presentation summarizing findings from recent research\, panelists will share their views on how Catholic schools and universities could rely on these and other research findings to improve the education they provide “beyond test scores”. \nFree and open to the public. The event will be held online over Zoom and will be livestreamed on YouTube. This event is organized with the Catholic Research Economists Discussion Organization (CREDO)\, Global Catholic Education\, Global Researchers Advancing Catholic Education (GRACE)\, the International Federation of Catholic Universities (IFCU)\, the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA)\, and the International Office of Catholic Education (OIEC). This event is cosponsored by America Media\, and the Roche Center for Catholic Education. \nPresentation: \nQuentin Wodon\, International Office of Catholic Education \nDiscussants: \nAnnie Smith\,  Director of Research and Data Management\, National Catholic Education Association\nAndrew Miller\, Assistant Professor\, Boston College\nTimothy Uhl\, Superintendent\, Montana Catholic Schools
