SUMMARY:Faculty Colloquium on The Uses of Idolatry
DESCRIPTION:This event is a colloquium on William T. Cavanaugh’s (DePaul University) book The Uses of Idolatry\, which offers a sustained and interdisciplinary argument that worship has not waned in our supposedly “secular” world. Rather\, the target of worship has changed\, migrating from the explicit worship of God to the implicit worship of things. Cavanaugh examines modern idolatries and the ways in which humans become dominated by our own creations. \nJ. Michelle Molina (Northwestern University) and Fr. Patrick Gilger\, S.J. (Loyola University Chicago) will offer remarks on the book followed by responses from William Cavanaugh. The event will be moderated by Scott Moringiello (DePaul University). \nThis event is by invitation only. If you would like more information or would like to request to attend\, please contact Geoffrey Zokal at gzokal@lumenchristi.org.

SUMMARY:Christianity\, Culture\, and Sport: From Play to Virtue - A Catholic Vision of Culture in the 21st Century | West Suburban Catholic Culture Series
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n(Business casual attire encouraged. For questions\, please email Marial Corona at mcorona@lumenchristi.org). \nSchedule: 6:30 p.m. Drinks | 7:00 p.m. Dinner\, Lecture\, & Q&A | 8:30 p.m. End \nApril 24: Christianity\, Culture\, and Sport: From Play to Virtue\nClark Power (University of Notre Dame)\nI was his delight day by day\, \nPlaying before him every moment\, \nplaying in his inhabited world\, \ndelighting in Adam’s offspring. \nProverbs 8:30-32 (trans. Brown\, 2012: 28-29) \nDrawing on Brown’s exegetical exploration of Wisdom’s paideia in the Book of Wisdom\, I explore the relationship between Christianity and culture (following Remi Brague) with a focus on sports and more specifically youth sports. I argue that sports is play and as such fosters children’s development of the theological and cardinal virtues. In childhood as well as adulthood\, sports should lead us to a transcendent joy that is rooted in freedom\, love\, and hope for the future of the human community. \nSERIES DESCRIPTION \nWestern culture owes a great deal to Christianity\, but Christianity does not require any culture\, as a culture\, to be built with Christian materials. This does not reflect a weakness or defect in Christianity. It is a consequence of its genius. Christianity can and should inform every human undertaking. In this series\, we’ll explore various arenas where human existence is played out and discover how Christianity can transform them. Our point of departure is Remi Brague’s reflection “From What is Left Over\,” which takes as its inspiration Pope Benedict’s “The Roots of European Culture.” \nSPRING SCHEDULE \nMay 14th at Ruth Lake Country Club (6200 S Madison St\, Hinsdale\, IL 60521):  \nA Catholic Vision of Art: Beauty – The Highway to God \nSarah Crow (University of St. Xavier | St. Gregory’s Hall) \n\n“In everything which gives us the pure authentic feeling of beauty there is really the presence of God…all art of the highest order is religious in essence”  \n– Simone Weil  \n\nBeautiful art reflects the glory of the living\, incarnate God\, Jesus Christ\, whether or not explicitly religious in subject matter. Art is not only an instrument and expression of culture\, but also has a prophetic capacity to “prepare the way for the Lord” and transform the hearts of those who encounter it. This lecture will look at great works of art\, both sacred and secular\, and demonstrate how they can lead us to God.
