SUMMARY:Being as an Image of Divine Love: Introducing Ferdinand Ulrich’s Homo Abyssus
DESCRIPTION:April 5 — 6\, 2019\nKeane Auditorium\, McGivney Hall \nIn honor of the recent appearance of Homo Abyssus: The Drama of the Question of Being\, the first translation of a major work by Ferdinand Ulrich into English\, the John Paul II Institute at The Catholic University of America is hosting a two-day symposium\, with scholars from around the world\, to present the book to a broader audience. \nAs one of the most profound exemplars of Catholic philosophy in the twentieth-century\, Homo Abyssus explores the meaning of being in the light of creation\, itself illuminated by the central mysteries of the Christian faith.  Ulrich grounds his reflections in a speculative interpretation of Thomas Aquinas\, which is fructified through a critical engagement with modern thought\, above all that of Hegel and Heidegger.  The result is a philosophy which Hans Urs von Balthasar said “has one great advantage over all the other ontologies with which I am familiar: It stands in intimate contact with the mysteries of revelation\, offers an access to them\, and yet never abandons the strictly philosophical domain. In this sense\, it overcomes the baneful dualism between philosophy and theology\, and it does so perhaps more successfully than ever before.” \nThe symposium will offer an introduction to Ferdinand Ulrich\, present some of the major themes of Homo Abyssus\, assess the significance of his work in relation to major streams of thought in the twentieth century\, and suggest what fruit it might bear in the future. \nSchedule\n\n\n\nFriday\, April 5\n\n\n6:30 p.m.\nCheck-in table opens\n\n\n7:00\nKeynote Address\nBishop Stefan Oster\, SDB: “Ferdinand Ulrich as Teacher and Spiritual Father”\n\n\n8:30\nReception\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, April 6\n\n\n8:30 a.m.\nContinental breakfast available\n\n\n9:00\nThemes from Homo Abyssus \n\nMarine de la Tour\, “The Light of Gift in Homo Abyssus”\nMartin Bieler\, “Metaphysics as Re-Enactment”\n\nModerator: David L.

SUMMARY:Bioethics: The Body and Technology (Continuing Education Course)
DESCRIPTION:September 4\, 2019 — December 4\, 2019 \nThis course will address questions at the intersection of medical technology and the human being\, who is not only an animal (with a biological nature)\, but a person—bearing metaphysical\, interpersonal\, and spiritual dimensions. In particular\, the issue of “brain death” and the philosophical questions it raises about the meaning of death\, the body\, organ donation\, and what it is to be alive will be focused on. This course will examine the historical emergence of bioethics and brain death\, assessing the role and meaning of modern technology for ethics and medicine through the thought of Hans Jonas. The second half of the course will examine the meaning of embodiment through both a philosophy and theology of the human body\, in the thought of St. John Paul II and others. Questions such as what does the fact of our conception and birth\, our existing as male and female\, our mortality\, and suffering\, reveal about the meaning of existence as such\, will be explored. The course will conclude by thinking with Wendell Berry about health and wholeness\, and the connection between the body\, our selves\, others\, and the earth. \nClass will be held in McGivney Hall on Catholic University of America’s campus in Room 006.  For more information\, call 202.526.3799 or email information@johnpaulii.edu. \nThe class fee is $150.  Registration has closed for this course. \nThis course can be taken toward renewal requirements for VCEA licensure.

SUMMARY:“For Freedom Set Free”: Retrieving Genuine Religious Liberty
DESCRIPTION:October 11\, 2019 (7:30pm – 9:00pm)\nAll Saints Anglican Church: 3889 Ivy Road\, Charlottesville\, VA 22903 \n“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore\, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” Galations 5:1 \nThe Fall 2019 Areopagus Lecture at All Saints Anglican Church will feature Dr. D.C. Schindler on the Christian understanding of religious liberty. \n \nThe Areopagus Lectures are sponsored by MARS HILL AUDIO to promote a deeper understanding of the theological resources needed to live faithfully amid the challenges of a post-Christian society. \nReligious liberty is one of the founding principles of the American political order\, and it also lies at the center of Christian existence. But is the meaning of liberty the same in the two contexts? This lecture will argue that not only are these two senses of liberty different\, but that they in fact sit uneasily together. In order to see why there is a tension between them\, Professor Schindler will spend some time filling out the content of the distinctively Christian notion of freedom\, which arises out of the confluence of three traditions: that of the Jews\, the Greeks\, and the Romans. Professor Schindler will then compare this to the particular notion of freedom embedded in the right to religious liberty as it is generally conceived today. Given the difference between these two approaches\, attempts to protect Christian existence in the contemporary world through appeals to religious liberty threaten to do more harm than good. The challenges we face today call for a return to genuine first principles—not just those of the American founders—and a fundamental rethinking of the basic realities of Christian\, and indeed of human\, existence.  The contribution of the classical philosophical tradition\, because it proceeds and orients itself precisely from first principles\, will prove to be indispensable in this regard. \nPlease RSVP for the event at https://marshillaudio.org/areopagus. \nThis lecture’s recording is available for purchase from Mars Hill Audio. \nPoster image: The Crucified Christ by Rubens

SUMMARY:“Catholic Politics and the Analogy of Authority”
DESCRIPTION:March 20\, 2021\nLeonardo’s Coffeehouse\, Steubenville\, Ohio \nDr. D.C. Schindler will present a lecture on “Catholic Politics and the Analogy of Authority” on Saturday\, March 20th at 9:30am at a conference hosted by New Polity. \n  \nFrom the New Polity website: \n\nLiberal societies confuse man’s relationship with God and neighbor; they establish civic peace through fear instead of justice; they follow a “city plan” of violence. But the Christian city ought to be built according to a blueprint of love.\nThe conference\, titled “Founding the Christian Society\,” will articulate the theological\, metaphysical\, and political principles on which to build societies apart from the violent foundations of liberalism and upon the sure rock of the Gospel. To this end\, we are organizing our conference around the state and the economy—asking what they would be like as reformed by Christianity.\n\n  \nClick here to register for in-person attendance or to register for digital access.

SUMMARY:Sexual Ethics: Online Intensive Course
DESCRIPTION:July 12\, 2021 — July 16\, 2021 \nThis one-week intensive course will study St. John Paul II/Karol Wojtyła’s teachings on Catholic sexual ethics\, by employing a novel approach: focusing on a positive account of the nature of the human person and conjugal/marital love structured as total\, reciprocal gift of self. For the Pope\, a proper understanding of the objective nature of conjugal love – considered in relation to marriage as a Christian state of life – illuminates the essence of the virtue of chastity. Drawing upon the Pope’s encyclical Veritatis Splendor\, students will gain a brief introduction to the foundational principles of Catholic moral theology: truth\, freedom\, conscience\, virtue\, law\, and the moral act. Furthermore\, special attention will be devoted to John Paul II’s distinct contributions such as the “personalistic norm” (from Love & Responsibility) and “the spousal meaning of the body” (from Theology of the Body). The primary goal is to help students think deeply these issues and be able to articulate the unifying thread: to act morally in the sexual sphere is simply to act with “responsibility” for the inviolable dignity of the human person and for the truth of love\, a truth that does not enslave but liberates us. \nThe course meets Monday through Friday\, July 12-16\, 9:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.\, and 1:30-3:00 p.m. \nThe class fee is $150. Registration for this course has closed. \nRegistration for the course closes Thursday\, July 8. \nFor more information\, email: information@johnpaulii.edu
