SUMMARY:Latin Vulgate Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nOpen to current students and faculty at the University of Chicago. Participants can come to whichever sessions they choose. Others interested in participating should contact Emily Barnum at ebarnum@uchicago.edu. Coffee\, tea\, and pastries will be provided.  \nSt. Jerome’s Latin translation of the Bible was used exclusively by the Western Church for centuries; its significance for the Roman Catholic tradition cannot be overstated. In this group\, we will work through sections of the Vulgate in order to appreciate its beauty and practice our Latin. For the first session\, no preparation is necessary; we will decide together which texts we will read. Please come with a desire to grow in Latin Bible knowledge with St. Jerome and friends! \nSCHEDULE:\nThis group will meet every Friday (beginning Oct 18th) from 10:45am – 11:45am over coffee\, tea\, and pastries. \n\nThe University of Chicago is famous for its graduate student reading groups\, in which students pursue their own intellectual interests among friends in an informal setting. The Lumen Christi Institute supports this endeavor by sponsoring a number of graduate student reading groups each quarter. LCI provides space\, hospitality\, and books. \nReading groups cover the whole spectrum of ideas. Texts do not need to be explicitly Catholic\, though we follow St. Paul’s injunction to attend to whatever is true\, noble\, right\, admirable\, and lovely (Phil 4:8). Groups follow LCI’s guiding principles\, which… \n\n\nAffirm the intellectual life as good in itself \n\n\nAsk questions animated by the principle that “all knowledge forms one whole” \n\n\nTranscend the ideological / political divide (i.e.\, programs should not be partisan in nature) \n\n\nWelcome religious perspectives as part of the intellectual life (i.e.\, programs need not be theological in nature but conversations should be open to religious insights) \n\n\nNurture friendships\, to support the pursuit of truth\, beauty\, and goodness (i.e.\, programs should have a social component)

SUMMARY:Non-Credit Course | Reasonably Vicious
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nThis event is in-person only. Intended for university students\, faculty\, and staff. Others interested in attending please contact dstrobach@lumenchristi.org. This non-credit is made possible through the support of ‘In Lumine: Supporting the Catholic Intellectual Tradition on Campuses Nationwide’ (Grant #62372) from the John Templeton Foundation. \nRegistrants are free to attend as many sessions as they choose. Sessions do not presuppose previous attendance or prior knowledge of the subject. \nReasonably Vicious\, originally published in 2002\,  has been praised by Alasdair MacIntyre as a “distinctive\, well-argued\, in some key respects original and beautifully written account of practical reason.” \nPhilosopher Candace Vogler explores the problem of evil\, with Aquinas and Anscombe as her main interlocutors. She challenges contemporary moral psychology with a nuanced perspective that ties together practical reason\, practical good\, and the source of wrongdoing. \nVogler offers a complex understanding of moral agency by examining how moral actions are shaped by rationality\, human desires\, and motivations. \nReasonably Vicious has for twenty years remained a significant contribution to contemporary ethical discourse by making traditional philosophy relevant to modern moral challenges. \nJoin us as Prof. Vogler takes us through her work in a 3 session non-credit course. Participants will receive a copy of Reasonably Vicious. \nFORMAT \nTuesdays\, Nov 5-Nov 12\n6:00pm: Dinner\n6:30pm: Presentation

SUMMARY:On the Dignity of Society: Catholic Social Teaching and Natural Law
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nFor more information\, contact dstrobach@lumenchristi.org. \nCo-sponsored by the Catholic University of America Press.  \nRussell Hittinger has long been one of the world’s leading scholars of Catholic social teaching and natural law theory. His most recent book\, On the Dignity of Society\, presents the fruit of his mature thinking on fundamental issues in Catholic political thought. Rooted in Thomistic philosophy and natural law theory\, but also animated by his study of St. Augustine and thus sensitive to historical contexts and arenas for moral and theological disputation\, Hittinger articulates the deepest principles of the Church’s social teaching and sheds considerable light on their historical applications. At this event\, Profs. Mary Hirschfeld and R. H. Helmholz will discuss Hittinger’s latest work\, and the event will conclude with a response from Prof. Hittinger. \nOn Saturday\, Russ Hittinger and Scott Roniger will lead a master class titled “What Is a Society? On the Coherence of Catholic Social Thought from Pope Leo XIII to Pope Francis.“

SUMMARY:What Is a Society? On the Coherence of Catholic Social Thought from Pope Leo XIII to Pope Francis
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nOpen to current graduate students and faculty. Advanced undergraduates and others interested in participating should contact dstrobach@lumenchristi.org. This event is in-person only. All registrants will receive copies of the selected readings\, which should be read in advance of the class. An optional wine and cheese reception will follow.  \nIn this masterclass\, we will discuss one of the most fundamental questions in Catholic social teaching: What is a society? We will track the various ways this question has been raised and answered in papal teaching from Leo XIII through the current pontificate of Pope Francis. We will see that tracing the magisterium’s treatment of the nature of society allows us to assess the coherence of modern Catholic social doctrine\, and it also enables us to explore other pressing issues. Are there societies necessary for human flourishing? If so\, which ones? Can we truthfully speak of an international or global society? If so\, what are our obligations to such a society? \nReadings:\nThe readings will consist of an essay by Russell Hittinger and selections from papal documents from Leo XIII to Francis. \nBoth the required and recommended readings will be distributed to participants via Dropbox and PDFs. If you prefer\, you can pick up a printout of the readings at Gavin House (1220 E. 58th Street) Mon-Fri\, 10am-4pm once they are ready. Please email David Strobach at dstrobach@lumenchristi.org to let us know you are coming. \nSchedule:\n1:30-2:00 | Pre-event pastries and coffee \n2:00-3:20 | Session 1 \n3:20-3:40 | Coffee break \n3:40-5:00 | Session 2 \n5:00-5:30 | Reception
