SUMMARY:Dante and a Poet’s Journey in Hope
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nThis event is free and open to the public. For more information\, contact dstrobach@lumenchristi.org. A wine and cheese reception will follow.  \nThis event is cosponsored by the University of Chicago Committee on Social Thought\, the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures\, and the Medieval Studies Workshop. \nOften praised for its evocative treatment of heaven and hell\, Dante’s Commedia is a significant work of theology. Denys Turner will explain how Dante accomplishes by means of poetry what the formal theological treatises of the Middle Ages demonstrate through prosaic inference and proof. Poetry\, Turner argues\, is the most natural language to articulate the “journey of the soul into God\,” and a point of entry into the mystery of the divine. Dante’s poetry discloses the theological significance of hope in the pilgrim’s journey towards the “abiding city.” \nOn the following day\, Prof. Turner will lead a master class for students and faculty titled\, “Poetry Being The Body: Theology in Dante.”

SUMMARY:Symposium on "The Future of Christian Art"
DESCRIPTION:Is there a future for Christian Art? Can beauty save a “modern” world? This symposium features a presentation by Fr. Stephen Fields\, SJ (Georgetown) in which he distinguishes between modernity and previous periods of the Western Christian experience and draws upon the work of Hans Urs von Balathasar to argue that Christians must reconceive the meaning of “beauty.” Responses will follow from University of Chicago art historian Karin Krause and Chicago Artist John David Mooney. \nThis event is being supported by funds from the Fr. Paul V. Mankowski\, S.J. Memorial Fund for Jesuit Scholarship. Fr. Paul\, former Jesuit Scholar-in-Residence for the Lumen Christi Institute and trained biblicist\, was also a humanist with wide ranging interests in art and literature. You can learn more about the fund and Fr. Paul’s life and legacy here. \nThis event is free and open to the public. This event is cosponsored by the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago. This event will be recorded. Contact us with any questions. \n\nCurrent students and faculty are also invited to a master class with Fr. Fields on Friday\, October 21\, entitled Clashing over Mysticism: Balthasar and Rahner on Bonaventure. For more information and to register\, see the event page.

SUMMARY:American Catholic Contours and Detours in a Fifty-Percent Hispanic/Latino Church
DESCRIPTION:Free and Open to the Public \nThe familiar expression “American Catholicism” often evokes mainly the presence and heritage of Euro-American Catholics and how this group defines religion\, culture and politics in our nation. Though narrow and de facto blind to the contributions of many other groups that have been central to defining the American Catholic experience\, this perception finds its ultimate challenge in the fact that nearly 50 percent of Catholics in the U.S. today are Hispanic/Latino. In this lecture Ospino explores key implications for church and society of being American Catholic in a largely Hispanic/Latino church. The lecture proposes a vision for ecclesial and intellectual engagement\, a roadmap for American Catholicism in the rest of the century. \nCosponsored by the Center for Latin American Studies\, the Religion in the Americas Workshop\, and the Theology and Ethics Workshop at the University of Chicago. This event is made possible by a grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \n\nDr. Ospino also gave a workshop on Wednesday\, March 4th\, open by invitation-only\, entitled Synodality in the Era of Pope Francis: Principles and Possibilities for Ministry in an Increasingly Hispanic Church.

SUMMARY:The Open Question of Church Polity and Governance: Trent\, Vatican I\, Vatican II
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Cosponsored by the Theology and Ethics Workshop at the Divinity School and the Midwest Province of the Society of Jesus.\nSexual and financial scandals are prompting Catholics to ask hard and painful questions about church government.  Who is in charge?  How is responsibility and accountability for governance distributed in the Church?  By no means is this the first time that the Catholic Church has reckoned with the letter and the spirit of its own governance. Drawing from his latest book\, When Bishops Meet: An Essay Comparing Trent\, Vatican I\, and Vatican II (Harvard\, 2019)\, Fr. John O’Malley\, S.J. retraces how the three modern ecumenical councils grappled with church reform and highlight resources in that tradition that may help us today. A response from Russell Hittinger follows\, leading to open discussion moderated by Jennifer Newsome Martin (University of Notre Dame).

SUMMARY:Symposium on "The Life of Teresa of Avila: A Biography"
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Cosponsored by Martin Marty Center for the Public Understanding of Religion at the Divinity School\, the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures\, and the Medieval Studies Workshop. This program was made possible in part by a grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \nCopies of The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila: A Biography (Princeton University Press\, 2019) are available for sale by the Seminary Coop Bookstore. \nSaint Teresa of Avila’s Life is among the most remarkable accounts ever written of the human encounter with the divine. The Life is not really an autobiography at all\, but rather a confession written for inquisitors by a nun whose raptures and mystical claims had aroused suspicion. Despite its troubled origins\, the book has had a profound impact on Christian spirituality for five centuries\, attracting admiration from readers as diverse as mystics\, philosophers\, artists\, psychoanalysts\, and neurologists. How did a manuscript once kept under lock and key by the Spanish Inquisition become one of the most inspiring religious books of all time? \nIn The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila: A Biography (Princeton University Press\, 2019) National Book Award winner Carlos Eire tells the story of this incomparable spiritual masterpiece\, examining its composition and reception in the sixteenth century\, the various ways its mystical teachings have been interpreted and reinterpreted across time\, and its enduring influence in our own secular age. \nProfessor Eire also gave a luncheon talk that day at noon at the University of Chicago of Chicago. He also taught a three-hour master class for students and faculty on The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila on Friday\, October 25.

SUMMARY:Plato's Bedroom: Desire\, Union\, and Procreation
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Cosponsored by the Department of Philosophy. \nPlato found philosophy in some of the same erotic anxieties that permeate contemporary life\, and even explored themes central to Catholic conceptions of sexuality. This lecture will be based on central themes from Plato’s Symposium\, drawing on David O’Connor’s Plato’s Bedroom: Ancient Wisdom and Modern Love. \nABOUT Plato’s Bedroom \nPlato’s Bedroom is a book for people who want to be better at falling in love and being in love\, with all the ecstasies and dangers erotic life can bring. It is also an inviting book for readers who are intellectually playful and up for a challenge\, written with verve\, and full of stories thoughtful persons will find to be mirrors of their own erotic selves. Drawing on Greek myth\, Plato\, Shakespeare\, and a wide range of modern literature and movies\, the book gets Aphrodite talking with the young lovers in A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, and lets us listen in on Woody Allen arguing with Othello. The author’s account of how we seek\, fear\, avoid\, and sometimes destroy love\, is astonishingly fresh and engaging. \nThroughout its pages\, one hears the voice of an engaging teacher and the conversation of a wise friend. In short\, this is a work of practical philosophy\, not scholarship\, though only a scholar could have written it. It invites readers into a deep appreciation of timeless ancient wisdom through reflecting on their own powers for love and their susceptibility to desire. \nA distinctive feature of the book is the interweaving of two guiding threads in Plato’s conception of erotic experience: androgyny\, that is\, the integration of masculine and feminine; and creativity\, in both a sexual and a spiritual sense. These two aspects of Plato’s erotic vision\, androgyny and creativity\, lead readers to a sense of grateful wonder and sacred awe at our own erotic powers. Our natural experience of romantic love\, articulated so well by Plato\, points toward a more explicitly religious interpretation of love’s commitments and pleasures. The author brings out some surprising and delightful connections between Plato’s pagan eroticism and the Adam and Eve story\, Jesus’s teaching in the Gospels\, and Catholic views about marriage. \nPlato’s Bedroom will be the first book to tap into the perennial curiosity about love and sex through the enduring interest of the general reader in philosophical reflection on contemporary culture. \nTo view photos of O’Connor’s lecture\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nYou can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music.

SUMMARY:Tracing our Shared Deep History: Evolutionary Anthropology and Theo-Drama
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Theology and Religious Ethics Workshop \nWhile theology and biological science often seem to be at odds\, there are productive ways of telling the Christian story of who we are as human beings which resonate with newer evolutionary theories. This lecture will argue that the most convincing theological approach is theo-drama\, where insights from the dramatic stage inform our theological reflections in relation to the drama of evolution. Such exchanges can be highly creative for theology and anthropology; neither party in the dialogue is reduced to the other\, and both are enriched in new and interesting ways.

SUMMARY:San Marco\, the Dominican Monastery at the Heart of Renaissance Florence
DESCRIPTION:A lecture with Ada Palmer (University of Chicago) \n\nCosponsored by the Department of History \nIt is difficult today to imagine a world in which religious communities were deeply intertwined with the civic order and when a third of a town’s population might be priests\, monks\, and nuns. In Renaissance Florence the Dominican Monastery of San Marco was intimately tied to every aspect of city life\, from commerce and patronage\, to civil broils and foreign invasions\, to education and medicine\, to the great artists\, architects and radical thinkers who earned the Florentine Renaissance its eternal fame. This lecture will explore the monastery’s role as a center of social and spiritual life.

SUMMARY:Thomas Merton: the Writing Life and the Contemplative Life
DESCRIPTION:Lawrence Cunningham (University of Notre Dame) \ncosponsored by Calvert House and the Chicago Chapter of the International Thomas Merton Society \nAmong the most well-known spiritual figures of the 20th Century\, Thomas Merton (1915-1968) was an aspiring poet and writer before his conversion and eventual entrance into a Trappist Monastery in 1941. It took time for Merton to understand that his writing was not alien to his chosen contemplative vocation but integral to it. This realization helped him to write works such as Thoughts in Solitude and New Seeds of Contemplation and deepened his spiritual development in all of its complexity. Merton helps us to understand how writing might be considered a contemplative act suitable for every state of the writer’s life. \nJanuary 31\, 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of Thomas Merton’s birth.

SUMMARY:Baudelaire and Maistre: the Weight of Original Sin
DESCRIPTION:By 1851\, the poet Charles Baudelaire had become obsessed — in contrast to his previous anarchist position — with the views of the reactionary and fiercely Catholic Joseph de Maistre. Maistre argued that Original Sin “explains everything\,” a perspective that Baudelaire was to adopt\, and which markedly changed his poetry. This lecture will consider Baudelaire’s preoccupation with sin in light of Kierkegaard’s treatment of anxiety and sin in The Concept of Anxiety.

SUMMARY:"The Dialogue of Economics and Catholic Social Thought"
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the University of Chicago Ethics Club \nThe presence of two Catholic candidates for vice-president have raised questions about Catholic social thought and American free market economics. In this symposium\, an economist and a theologian consider how the Church’s teaching bears on contemporary economic questions. The questions to be explored will include: What does the Catholic social thought developed by popes from Leo XIII and Pius XI to John Paul II and Benedict XVI say about economic issues? How can economists engage the principles of Catholic Social Thought and reflect on questions such as the just wage\, social solidarity and the market economy? How can economists assist the Church to develop and implement its social teaching?

SUMMARY:"What Makes Music Sacred?"
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Department of Music and the Medieval Studies Workshop \nWhile it is easy to recognize traditional forms of sacred music: Gregorian chant\, classical polyphony\, organ music\, choral music\, and vernacular hymns it is difficult to pinpoint what it is that makes music sacred? This lecture will reflect upon the relation of the sacred and the beautiful in the liturgy. It will consider what is meant by sacred\, as distinguished from holy and place those things considered sacred in the context of their reception and intrinsic suitability.

SUMMARY:The Catholic Roots of Religious Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the St. Thomas More Society \nThe roots of modern ideas of religious freedom are as much religious as they are political and philosophical. The American political leaders who first championed these ideas were well aware of the religious sources supporting their views. This lecture explores how early Christian thinkers developed a theological understanding of religious freedom.

SUMMARY:Dostoevsky’s Pilgrimage: Aesthetics and Ascesis in “The Brothers Karamazov”
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures \n\nDostoevsky’s final novel\, set partly in a monastery\, continues to shape contemporary images of Orthodox Christian monasticism and ascetic practice. Bird will examine how well Dostoevsky actually knew this milieu and this tradition\, and how profoundly his knowledge affected his writing of The Brothers Karamazov. This will serve as a case study for the broader question of the influence of the Orthodox Christian ascetic tradition on modern Russian aesthetics.
