SUMMARY:Conversion and the Rehabilitation of the Penal System
DESCRIPTION:This event is co-sponsored by the Catholic Lawyers Guild of Chicago\, the Boston College Law School\, the University of St. Thomas School of Law\, Kolbe House Jail Ministry\, St. Paul’s Catholic University Center\, the Collegium Institute’s Legal Humanities Project\, the National Center for the Laity\, America Media\, and Oxford University Press. \nThere is growing bipartisan awareness of the need to reform the American criminal justice system. Solutions have been sought for over-criminalization\, over-incarceration\, and the disproportionate effect of the system upon minority communities. Many have observed a difference between European models of criminal justice\, such as that in Germany\, and the unique harshness of their American counterpart. \nYet the answer to the ongoing crisis may lie beyond mere policy changes. Professor Andrew Skotnicki of Manhattan College argues that the problems inherent to our criminal justice system are rooted in misguided theology and anthropology. Join Professor Skotnicki and Cecelia Klingele (University of Wisconsin Law School) for their discussion of Skotnicki’s book\, Conversion and the Rehabilitation of the Penal System (Oxford University Press\, 2019)\, moderated by Cook County Judge Tom Donnelly. They will consider the origins of the current criminal justice system\, the challenges that it faces\, and the resources from the Catholic tradition that may offer a way forward. \nThis event is part of the Catholic Criminal Justice Reform Network\, a new initiative of the Lumen Christi Institute.

SUMMARY:Spirituality and the Saints
DESCRIPTION:This event is co-presented with the Bollandist Society and co-sponsored by America Media\, the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University\, the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at USC\, the Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual Heritage\, and the Harvard Catholic Forum. \nIn this presentation\, Fr. Mark Rotsaert will look to sanctity as a gift of the Spirit and reflect on the different ways one can become a saint and the universal call to holiness according to Pope Francis’ exhortation Gaudete et exsultate. Do saints have a specific kind of spirituality? Is sanctity the same as perfection? Are the saints perfect?

SUMMARY:Fragile Democracy: Technocratic Takeover and Popular Renewal
DESCRIPTION:This event is co-presented with the Nova Forum and co-sponsored by America Media\, the Collegium Institute\, the Institute of Politics at the University of Chicago\, and the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies. \nWe are experiencing a crisis of democracy more powerful than anything seen in a generation: inequality continues at a galloping pace; policing is increasingly racialized and militarized; political decision-making appears remote and divorced from the lives of ordinary people. \nThis panel discussion—including renowned philosopher Charles Taylor–will consider sources and solutions to the present crisis of democracy by drawing on two recent books: Reconstructing Democracy by Charles Taylor\, Patrizia Nanz\, and Madeleine Beaubien Taylor and We Built Reality by Jason Blakely. \nBoth works identify within our political and cultural crisis the loss of democratic participation and the rise of top-down technocratic\, managerial rule.

SUMMARY:Themes in Catholic Social Thought: Three Necessary Societies
DESCRIPTION:Open to current graduate students. This master class will take place online on Zoom. Copies of the readings will be provided. Others interested in participating should contact us. \nThe modern social magisterium\, which emerged during the pontificate of Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903)\, held that the dignity of human society exemplified in three necessary societies.  By nature or grace\, human beings are domestic (marriage-family)\, political\, and ecclesial animals.  Each has an origin in some kind of necessity\, but the necessities are paths to human excellence and happiness.  In the first master class we will consider the political and documentary history of the teachings on the origin and interrelation of these societies.  In the second master class we will look carefully at the deeper ontology of social order. \nJoin us on April 23 for a follow-up master class to this topic on “Society as Sacrament.”

SUMMARY:A Good Man is Hard to Find:  St. Joseph in Art
DESCRIPTION:This event is co-presented with the Harvard Catholic Forum and co-sponsored by the Saint Benedict Institute\, the Nova Forum\, the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies\, the Ars Vivendi Arts Initiative of the Collegium Institute\, the St. Paul’s Catholic Center\, the St. Lawrence Institute for Faith and Culture\, and the New England Chapter of the Patron of the Arts Vatican Museums. \nSt. Joseph was an unassuming latecomer to the history of art\, but once discovered\, his images evolved rapidly to serve the Catholic Church during challenging times. From model for the papacy\, to symbol of marriage and fatherhood\, to guide for a good death and advocate for the worker\, St Joseph’s many guises have made him one of the Church’s greatest spiritual treasures. Following Pope Francis’ dedication of 2021 to St. Joseph\, this talk will look at Giotto\, Raphael\, Murillo and others as we uncover the many faces of this quiet saint.

SUMMARY:How to be a Corinthian
DESCRIPTION:This event is cosponsored by Calvert House Catholic Center.\nThe first recipients of St. Paul’s letters did not keep their letters to themselves; as part of the organic life of the Church that Catholics call “Tradition\,” the letters of Paul were collected together and incorporated into the New Testament. One amazing consequence of this Tradition at work is that everyone who reads these letters\, regardless of time or place\, becomes a Corinthian\, or a Roman\, or an Ephesian\, thanks to the unifying power of the Holy Spirit. This conference will reflect on how the early Church received these letters\, and highlight specific texts that reveal how the voice of St. Paul still reaches us\, both individuals and the Body of Christ collectively\, today.
