SUMMARY:Dignitatis Humanae and the Rediscovery of Religious Freedom
DESCRIPTION:On February 21-23\, 2013\, the Washington Session of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family will sponsor a conference “Dignitatis Humanae and the Rediscovery of Religious Liberty.” Following Dignitatis humanae\, John Paul II forcefully indicated that the “curtailment of the religious freedom of individuals and communities is not only a painful experience but it is above all an attack on man’s very dignity\, independently of the religion professed or of the concept of the world which these individuals and communities have. The curtailment and violation of religious freedom are in contrast with man’s dignity and his objective rights” (Redemptor hominis\, 17). Aware of the gravity of our historical circumstances\, Benedict XVI\, in his address to the Bishops of the United States of America on January 19\, 2012\, reiterated the crucial importance of understanding and promoting religious liberty. He said that the “Church’s witness is of its nature public… The legitimate separation of Church and State cannot be taken to mean that the Church must be silent on certain issues\, nor that the State may choose not to engage\, or be engaged by\, the voices of committed believers in determining the values that will shape the future of the nation…It is imperative that the Church comes to realize the radical secularism which finds increasing expression in the political and cultural spheres…Of particular concern are certain attempts being made to limit that most cherished of American freedoms\, the freedom of religion.” \nThe conference seeks to explore the nature of religious liberty. This task\, as Dignitatis humanae indicated\, consists precisely in the deepening of the adequate understanding of the theological\, metaphysical\, and anthropological grounds of human dignity. It is man’s dignity—being created in the image of the Triune God and called to filial participation in divine life—that establishes and defines the right to religious freedom. Thus\, every understanding of freedom is inseparable from its relation with truth—the truth of God\, man\, the world\, and their relation—and every juridical idea of rights—specifically the “right” to religious freedom—always rests on and expresses a specific metaphysics and anthropology. \n  \nThe papers from this conference are published in the Summer-Fall 2013 issue of Communio. \nVideos from this conference can be found on the John Paul II Institute website here. \nSchedule\n\n\n\nThursday\, Feb. 21\n\n\n\n\n6:30 p.m.\nCheck-in table opens\n\n\n7:00\nOpening Remarks:\nRev.

SUMMARY:Catholicism and the Future of Medicine
DESCRIPTION:April 12\, 2013 — April 13\, 2013\nKeane Auditorium\, McGivney Hall\, The Catholic University of America \n \nKeane Auditorium\, McGivney Hall\, The Catholic University of America \nArticles from this event can be found in the 2014 Humanum Review. \nThe fate of Catholic medicine\, for obvious reasons\, is a matter of growing concern. Rising health care costs\, the emergence of giant for-profit health care systems\, the decline in religious vocations\, controversy over reproductive medicine\, end of life care and other bioethical issues\, and new government regulations limiting religious liberty are all conspiring to reduce or perhaps even eliminate the institutionalized presence of Catholicism in American healthcare over the course of the next generation. This naturally raises the question of what place there may be for Catholicism in health care in the coming years. \nThis is not the only question; however\, nor even\, perhaps\, the most important. Western medicine is a highly advanced science\, but it is also an art nurtured from its very beginning within the bosom of the Church. The Church’s understanding of the human person\, its distinctive notions of health and of care\, and the discipline of religious life all helped give birth to hospital and to medical care in the West and have profoundly shaped the self-understanding and institutions of modern medicine\, its view of the patient\, and the meaning of the medical calling up till now. Perhaps a still more urgent question\, then\, is not\, what is the fate of Catholicism in modern medicine\, but what is the fate of modern medicine once its religious roots are forgotten? \nThis symposium will address various facets of this question\, and will explore the assumption that the soul of modern medicine is Catholic. The symposium will consist of five roundtable discussions\, each an hour and a half in length. Each discussion will be introduced by two brief\, 15 minute interventions on the relevant theme from selected panelists. Presentations will be followed by one hour long discussion among all the invited participants. Since conversation is a crucial element of this symposium all symposium attendees are asked to the stay and contribute to all of the roundtable discussions. \nFriday\, April 12 \n7:00-8:30 pm The Catholic Roots and Changing Anthropology of Western Medicine \n\nGlenn Olsen\, Ph.D.\nMichael Hanby\, Ph.D.\n\nHistorically speaking\, Catholicism profoundly shaped the soul of Western medicine in several ways. In many instances\, Western medicine was the direct outworking of a religious vocation. Monastic foundations created institutions devoted to charity that would become the modern hospital\, and generations of women religious saw nursing as an integral dimension of their vocation. Such factors deeply informed medicine’s self-understanding in terms analogous to a religious vocation and its spiritual disciplines\, as seen\, e.g.\, in the adoption of the Hippocratic oath. Implicit within this self-understanding is a corresponding understanding of the patient as a person\, a person\, a per se unum of body and soul\, whose health is not merely physical. The radical changes brought by scientific and bureaucratic medicine portend changes both to medicine’s self-understanding and to its underlying medical anthropology. What are these changes in medicine’s underlying anthropology\, and how will they affect medicine’s self-understanding and the formation of its practitioners? Are professional and quality control standards an adequate replacement for a vocational sense of medicine and its corresponding disciplines? \nSaturday\, April 13 \n9:00-10:30 The Fate of the Patient: Who is the Patient? What is Health? \n\nSara Deola\, M.D.\nAndrew Miles\, Ph.D.\n\nHow will the patient and his health be viewed in medicine increasingly (and exclusively?) understood as a technical science. What\, in other words\, is the anthropology of technological medicine and how will this be brought to bear on medical care? \n10:30-11:00 Break \n11:00-12:30 The Fate of Institutions \n\nSr. Mary Diana Dreger\, O.P.\, M.D.\nAllen Aksamit\, M.D.\n\nCultural\, governmental\, and economic forces are combining to erase the last vestiges of the Catholic character of once-Catholic medical institutions. What might the futute hold for these and other medical institutions without the witness that Catholic healthcare once provided? \nLUNCH 12:30-2:00 \n2:00-3:30 Opportunities for Catholic Medicine \n\nJohn I. Lane\, M.D.\nRobin Pierucci\, M.D.\n\nAre there any opportunities for “creative minorities” to practice medicine in a Catholic way in the emerging cultural\, legal\, economic and technological context? Apart from the usual bioethical considerations\, how might Catholic medicine look different from and improve upon medicine as it is currently developing? \nBreak 3:30-4:00 \n4:00-5:30 Meeting Suffering \n\nRuth Ashfield\nMary Hamm\n\nMedicine’s fascination with its scientific prowess and own power to cure\, rising costs\, scarce resources\, and the need for greater efficiency all call into question our ability to abide patiently with those who cannot be cured. How is suffering understood within the anthropology of contemporary medicine? Is it intelligible? What are the expectations for how a thoroughly secular medicine will cope with ‘hopeless cases’? \nDownload the event’s brochure here. \nRegistration forms: General Public \nJohn Paul II Institute Alumni \nClergy\, Religious\, and Students from Other Institutions \nRegistration for this event is now closed.

SUMMARY:Faith\, the Fundamental Act of Christian Existence
DESCRIPTION:November 15 — 16\, 2013\nKeane Auditorium\, McGivney Hall \n \nOn November 15-16\, 2013\, the Washington\, D.C. session of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family will sponsor a conference\, “Faith\, the Fundamental Act of Christian Existence.” With this conference the Institute wishes to contribute to the reflection on the nature of faith called for by Benedict XVI (Porta Fidei\, no. 8). \nOur hope is to deepen the unity that binds the content of faith in Christ with the act by which we choose to entrust ourselves freely and fully to the Triune God. In light of the wealth of the Church’s tradition\, we would like to pursue this reflection bearing in mind that our contemporary culture treasures science as its epistemological paradigm and fosters a division between the human person and his belonging to the Church\, on the one hand\, and between the truths that constitute Christian faith and the way the Christian orders his or her existence\, on the other hand. The conference will thus address issues such as: believing\, seeing\, and knowing the mystery of God according to Scriptures; faith\, the fulfillment of reason; the ecclesial dimension of faith; the historical dimension of faith; and witnessing to faith through the family. \nSchedule\n\n\n\nFriday\, November 15\n\n\n\n\n6:30 p.m.\nRegistration Table Opens\n\n\n7:00\nOpening Remarks\n\n\n7:15-8:30\nKeynote Address \nFaith\, the Fundamental Act of Christian Existence \nSpeaker: Rev.

SUMMARY:Bioethics and the Family: Continuing Education Series\, Spring 2014
DESCRIPTION:January 22\, 2014 — March 31\, 2014 (6:30pm – 7:30pm)\nMcGivney Hall \nThe Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family announces the Spring 2014 Continuing Education course\, “Bioethics and the Family.” \nThis course will study the personal character and meaning of the body as a foundation for bioethics. We will develop the main lines of an ethics of personal and family life\, in which the human person as a created whole\, corpore et anima unus\, “is in the unity of body and soul. . . the subject of his own moral acts” (Veritatis splendor\, 48).  As John Paul II said\, we find in the body “the anticipatory signs\, the expression and the promise of the gift of self\, in conformity with the wise plan of the Creator” (ibid.).  This understanding of the human person will allow us to examine particular bioethical issues\, to include the ethics of reproductive technologies\, embryo transfer\, abortion\, death and euthanasia\, cloning\, and stem cell research. \nThe course meets on Wednesday evenings\, 6:30-8:30 p.m.\, beginning January 22\, and carries continuing education credits for the Diocese of Arlington.  The registration form is available for download at the right. \nFor more information\, email information@johnpaulii.edu or call 202.526.3799. The class fee is $150.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Ordering Love
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, February 10\, at 4 p.m.\, theologian Peter Casarella and political philosopher Patrick Deneen\, both of the University of Notre Dame\, will join David L. Schindler to discuss and debate his latest book: Ordering Love: Liberal Societies and the Memory of God. \nThe discussion will be followed by a reception in McGivney Hall. \nVideo\nThe Ordering Love book discussion can be viewed here. \n \nFrom the publisher:\nReality most basically and properly considered\, says David Schindler\, is an order of love–a gift that finds its objective only in an entire way of life. In Ordering Love Schindler explores\, in light of this understanding of reality\, how modern culture marginalizes love\, regarding it at best as a matter of piety or goodwill rather than as the very stuff that makes our lives and the things of the world real. Schindler examines how Western civilization’s fixation with technology–especially its displacement of experience with experiment and its privileging of knowing and making–has undermined its capacity to build an authentic human culture. He shows\, within the context of politics\, economics\, science\, and cultural and professional life generally\, that God-centered love is what gives things their deepest and most proper order and meaning\, always and everywhere. \nA short excerpt of the book is available on the Eerdmans website. The book is available for purchase here.

SUMMARY:The A.R.T. of Reproduction: Re-conceiving the Human Person
DESCRIPTION:April 5\, 2014 \n \nThe decision to award the 2010 Nobel Prize to Robert Edwards\, pioneer of in vitro fertilization\, is a sign that Western society has made its peace with IVF\, now estimated to be responsible for the birth of some 4 million children worldwide\, and to artificial reproductive technologies more generally. But saying ‘yes’ to ARTs has meant saying ‘yes’ to much else besides. ARTs are the sine qua non for embryonic stem cell research\, germline manipulation\, and a host of other biotechnical possibilities (and bioethical dilemmas) that were heretofore only the stuff of science fiction. ARTs are the condition of possibility for the invention of same sex marriage\, whose advocates insist on severing marriage from its intrinsic connection to the sexually differentiated body and to procreation while simultaneously demanding the ‘right’ of gay couples to ‘have children’ by artificial means\, often with public assistance. Conversely the normalization of same-sex marriage only promises to increase exponentially the frequency of recourse to ARTs. And the decoupling of sex and procreation through ARTs has given rise to a surrogacy industry—so called baby-farming—that often leads to a legal quagmire domestically and to the exploitation and virtual servitude of poor women abroad. \nAll of this has raised profound questions—and for those conceived through ARTs profoundly existential questions—about the relation between human identity and human origins\, about the meaning of marriage\, the human body\, motherhood\, fatherhood\, and kinship. Which is to say that in saying ‘yes’ to ARTs\, our culture\, perhaps unwittingly\, has accepted much more than a mere technique for remedying infertility. It has accepted in practice an understanding of the human being—a fundamental anthropology—without precedent in human history and fundamentally at odds with its own cultural patrimony. It is the purpose of this symposium to explore the many facets of the ‘anthropological challenge’ posed now and in the future by the proliferation of ARTs. \nThe Symposium is directed to those concerned with the intersection of ethics\, technology\, and medicine\, including physicians\, theologians\, philosophers\, and professionals in the fields of law\, politics\, public policy\, and pastoral care. Unlike a conventional conference\, the Symposium will be conducted in the manner of a dialogue among authoritative voices who can illuminate the problem of ARTs from a variety of perspectives—medicine\, philosophy of science\, law\, theological anthropology\, genetics\, and personal experience. \n\n\n\nSaturday\, April 5\n\n\n\n\n8:30 a.m.\nContinental Breakfast Available\n\n\n9:00\nThe Gift of Life and Life-Giving Suffering: Understanding Fertility and the Drama of Infertility\nJohn Bruchalski\nAlana Newman\nModerator: Nicholas Healy\n\n\n10:30\nBreak\n\n\n11:00\nModern Women-Modern Mothers: Resetting the Biological Clock \nMollie Hemingway\nMargaret Harper McCarthy\nModerator: Mary Hasson\n\n\n12:30 p.m.\nLunch\n\n\n2:00\nRights without Limits: Reproduction in an Age of Same-Sex “Marriage” \nMelissa Moschella\nDavid Crawford\nModerator: Jeanne Schindler\n\n\n3:30\nBreak\n\n\n4:00\nRe-designing Conception: When Art Replaces Nature \nStephan Kampowski\nMichael Hanby\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Problem of Persons: Public Bioethics and Contending Moral Anthropologies
DESCRIPTION:September 15\, 2014\nKeane Auditorium\, McGivney Hall \n \nThe Center for Cultural and Pastoral Research is please to host a conversation with Prof. Carter Snead on the topic “The Problem of Persons: Public Bioethics and Contending Moral Anthropologies\,” on Monday\, September 15\, at 7:00 p.m. \nIn this lecture\, Prof. Snead will argue that the richest way to understand contemporary disputes in public bioethics is through the lens of moral anthropology. At bottom\, such disagreements—over abortion\, embryo-destructive research\, assisted reproductive technologies\, the definition of death\, end of life decision-making\, and research involving human subjects—are are conflicts regarding the nature and identity of human persons. The anthropological premises underlying the most prominent viewpoints in this domain will be illuminated and examined. \nProf. Snead\, the William P. and Hazel B. White Director of the Center for Ethics and Culture and Professor of Law at the University of Notre Dame\, is an internationally recognized expert in Public Bioethics—the governance of science\, medicine\, and biotechnology in the name of ethical goods. His research explores issues relating to neuroethics\, enhancement\, stem cell research\, abortion\, and end-of-life decision-making. Prior to joining the law faculty at Notre Dame\, Professor Snead served as General Counsel to The President’s Council on Bioethics (Chaired by Dr. Leon R. Kass)\, where he was the primary drafter of the 2004 report\, “Reproduction and Responsibility: The Regulation of New Biotechnologies.” He has testified in the U.S. House of Representatives on regulatory questions concerning RU-486 (the abortion pill). In 2014\, he testified in the Texas state legislature on the constitutionality of a proposed fetal pain bill. Professor Snead led the U.S. government delegation to UNESCO and served as its chief negotiator for the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (adopted in October 2005). He served (with President’s Council on Bioethics Chairman\, Dr. Edmund Pellegrino) as the U.S. government’s Permanent Observer to the Council of Europe’s Steering Committee on Bioethics (CDBI)\, where he assisted in its efforts to elaborate international instruments and standards for the ethical governance of science and medicine. In 2008\, he was appointed by the Director-General of UNESCO to a four-year term on the International Bioethics Committee (IBC)\, a 36-member body of independent experts that advises member states on bioethics\, law\, and public policy. The IBC is the only bioethics commission in the world with a global mandate. Professor Snead received his J.D.\, magna cum laude\, from Georgetown University and his B.A. from St. John’s College. \nTo watch Professor Snead’s presentation\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Lumen Gentium: The Church as Sacrament of Trinitarian Communion
DESCRIPTION:On November 14-15\, 2014\, the Washington Session of the John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family will sponsor a conference commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Second Vatican Council’s Dogmatic Constitution on the Church\, Lumen Gentium. Entitled “Lumen Gentium: The Church as Sign and Sacrament of Trinitarian Communion\,” the conference is part of an ongoing series devoted to the major texts of Vatican II. \nIn his Apostolic Letter Porta Fidei\, Pope Benedict XVI recalled the words of his predecessor: “the texts bequeathed by the Council Fathers . . . have lost nothing of their value or brilliance. They need to be read correctly\, to be widely known and taken to heart as important and normative texts of the Magisterium\, within the Church’s Tradition . . . I feel more than ever in duty bound to point to the Council as the great grace bestowed on the Church in the twentieth century: there we find a sure compass by which to take our bearings in the century now beginning.” Guided by these words and bearing in mind Benedict XVI’s principle of a hermeneutics of reform\, the aim of the conference is to explore anew Lumen Gentium‘s teaching on the inner nature and universal mission of the Church.  The Fathers of the Second Vatican Council conceived the Church as a sign and sacrament of communion (koinonίa) grounded in the Trinitarian mystery of God and concretized in eucharistic fellowship. The connection between the Church and the Eucharist is the permanent source of the ecumenical and missionary dynamism of the Church who “is sent to the world to announce and witness\, to make present and spread the mystery of communion which is essential to her: to gather together all people and all things into Christ; so as to be for all an ‘inseparable sacrament of unity’” (Communionis Notio\, 4). \nThe conference will explore various dimensions of Lumen Gentium—the Christological and pneumatological foundations of the Church\, the nature of Episcopal office\, holiness and the vocation of the laity\, the eschatological nature of the Church\, and the relationship between the Church and the Virgin Mary—within the context of the theological vision of the Council as a whole. \n  \n\n\n\n\nFriday\, November 14\n\n\n\n\n6:00 p.m.\nRegistration table opens\n\n\n6:30\nKeynote Address \nThe Church: People of God\, Body of Christ\, Spouse\, and Mother \nSpeaker: Rev.

SUMMARY:Called to Love: Theology of the Body Continuing Education Series
DESCRIPTION:January 14\, 2015 — February 4\, 2015 (6:30pm – 8:30pm) \nThe Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family announces the Spring 2015 Continuing Education course\, “Called to Love: Theology of the Body.” \nThis course studies John Paul II’s Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body —his “Wednesday catecheses”—through a reading of the text and a discussion of his scriptural\, theological\, and philosophical methodology. It shows how the dual unity of man and woman and their interpersonal communion\, even in the body\, image divine trinitarian life. Special emphasis will be made on the foundations of the Theology of the Body in the Christian tradition. The course will draw also on other\nworks by John Paul II that deal with marriage and the family\, such as The Jeweler’s\nShop\, Love and Responsibility\, and the Roman Triptych. \nThe course meets on Wednesday evenings\, 6:30-8:30 p.m. beginning January 14\, and can be taken toward renewal requirements for VCEA licensure. Numerous high schools in the Archdiocese of Washington also accept the course for CEU credits.  The registration form is available for download at the right. \nFor more information\, email information@johnpaulii.edu or call 202.526.3799. The class fee is $150.
