  • The Creation of the St. Irenaeus Institute: A Summer Seminar Story

    The concrete impetus for the St. Irenaeus Institute was a Lumen Christi summer seminar in 2021 on Irenaeus’ Against the Heresies (co-led by Fr. John Behr and Lewis Ayres), which we both attended. Joshua excitedly shared some insights from the seminar with seminarians from his hometown of Milwaukee, and they expressed a desire for a forum to learn more about Irenaeus and his work. Thus, the Fides Patrum (“Faith of the Fathers”) seminar was launched in September 2021 at the local Newman Center at UW-Milwaukee.

With Emily Austin (University of Chicago) moderating, Angela Knobel (University of Dallas), Candace Vogler (University of Chicago), and Daniel Lapsley (University of Notre Dame) reflected on the relationship between Aristotle’s and Aquinas’ moral frameworks from theological, philosophical, practical, and behavioral-scientific perspectives.
