SUMMARY:“The Eucharist as Form: Hans Urs von Balthasar’s Theology of the Laity”
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Nicholas J. Healy\, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Culture\, will present at a conference at Ave Maria University titled “The Holiness of God and The Mystery of the Eucharist” presented by The Aquinas Center and St. Paul Center. \n  \nDr. Healy’s presentation is titled “The Eucharist as Form: Hans Urs von Balthasar’s Theology of the Laity.” \n \nAbout the Conference: \nFollowing the promulgation of their 2021 document\, The Mystery of the Eucharist in the Life of the Church\, the Bishops of the United States have called for a national Eucharistic revival. Culminating three years of “grassroots revival of devotion and belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist\,” a national Eucharistic Congress will take place in 2024—the first of its kind in nearly 50 years. The Bishops “believe that God wants to see a movement of Catholics across the United States\, healed\, converted\, formed\, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and sent out in mission ‘for the life of the world.’” \nRecent years have witnessed a loss of the sense of God’s holiness and how the faithful enter into the mystery of God’s holiness in the Eucharist. When Moses encountered God in the burning bush\, he was told to remove his shoes for “the place where he was standing was holy ground.” When Isaiah described his vision of God\, he began with “holy\, holy\, holy.” John in Revelation describes Jesus as “the holy one\, the true one” and the new heavens and the new earth simply as “the holy city.” Standing at the heart of the mysteries of creation and redemption\, God’s holiness grounds the new covenant relationship established in Jesus Christ’s gift of himself in the Eucharist. \nThis conference invites theologians to draw upon the entire theological patrimony of the Catholic Church to rediscover and retrieve the revelation of God’s holiness and the mystery of the Eucharist. \nFull conference details available here.

SUMMARY:Reflections on the Origins of Communio and the Contribution of Several Ressourcement Theologians: In Memory of David L. Schindler
DESCRIPTION:The John Paul II Institute will host a conversation with Fr. Joseph Fessio\, S.J. on Monday\, March 27\, at 4 p.m. in Keane Auditorium: “Reflections on the Origins of Communio and the Contribution of Several Ressourcement Theologians: In Memory of David L. Schindler.” \nFr. Fessio is in a unique position to reflect on the post-conciliar currents in Catholic theology. He studied under theological giants Joseph Ratzinger\, Henri de Lubac\, and Hans Urs von Balthasar\, who together founded Communio: International Catholic Review in 1972\, and was instrumental in the selection of David L. Schindler as editor of the English-language edition of the journal\, which Dr. Schindler led for more than 40 years. As founder and editor of Ignatius Press\, Fr. Fessio has spent 45 years bringing the profound works of his former teachers (and many others) to an English-speaking audience. \nThe event is in memory of David L. Schindler (1943-2022)\, who was a seminary classmate of Fr. Fessio’s in the early ’60s and a former Dean of the Institute. Fr. Fessio will share personal and theological reflections on the lives and work of Ratzinger\, de Lubac\, and Balthasar\, and on the significance of the Communio school for Catholic theology. \nWe hope you will join us for this special event.

SUMMARY:The Human Figure in Art
DESCRIPTION:Humanum Review\, the online journal of the John Paul II Institute\, invites you to a lecture on “The Human Figure in Art” by art historian Dr. Sarah Bond. \nThe event will be held on Friday\, April 14\, at 6:30 p.m. at the Saint John Paul II National Shrine (3900 Harewood Road Northeast Washington\, DC 20017) with a cocktail reception to follow. \nAdmission is free. RSVP here to reserve a free ticket. \nThe depiction of the human figure is central to the history of art. But how do artists depict the inner aspects of the person—emotions\, spirit\, suffering? In this lecture we will look at how artists use expressive means such as distortion\, extension\, and the dematerialization of the body to convey inner life. We will look in detail at several works by El Greco\, studying the poses\, gestures\, and visual qualities of particular figures. Jumping back in time\, we’ll look at El Greco’s roots in medieval and Byzantine figural art. Finally\, we’ll turn to two modern masters of the expressive human figure\, Rodin and Picasso\, both of whom were influenced by El Greco and both of whom depicted “spiritualized” figures in a secular context. \nSarah Bond is an art historian and independent scholar with a Ph.D. in Medieval Art from Harvard University.  You may read her recent Humanum article on Georgia O’Keeffe’s Affection for Things. \n \n

SUMMARY:"Is Postliberalism Possible?"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Michael Hanby and Dr. D.C. Schindler will lead an intellectual retreat for Stanford students on the nature\, origin\, and aims of liberalism at the Zephyr Institute. The Zephyr Institute is a community of scholars\, Stanford students\, and professionals committed to gaining a fuller understanding of the human person and the common good in Palo Alto\, California. \n  \nThe day-long event is titled “Is Postliberalism Possible?”  Sessions throughout the day are titled: \n\nWhat is Political Philosophy\, and How Has It Changed?\nWhat is Liberalism? Part One: Liberalism as a Theory of Human Nature\nWhat is Liberalism? Part Two: Liberalism as Technological Order\nThe Question of America\n\nThe day will conclude with a roundtable discussion with Matthew Crawford\, Nathan Pinkoski\, and Adrian Walker. \n  \nAbout the Event \nAn increasing number of political theorists claim that the great experiment of liberalism has failed\, and so conversation has begun in many quarters about what an alternative might look like\, the possibilities that something might takes its place\, and the resources from which to draw to attempt to do so. But proposing something genuinely new requires a sufficient sense of what liberalism in fact is and why it seems to have failed. This series of seminars will explore the nature\, origin\, and aims of liberalism and attempt to uncover the vision of reality and human nature that it takes for granted\, both in its classical form and in its specifically American incarnation. We will then consider some of the basic criticisms that have been made\, in order to prepare for a fruitful conversation about what might come next. \n  \nMore details about the event can be found on the Zephyr Institute website.

SUMMARY:Summer Fellowship: "Gender\, Technology\, and Culture"
DESCRIPTION:College juniors and seniors\, as well as recent graduates\, in all fields are cordially invited to apply for the 2023 John Paul II Institute Summer Fellowship\, taking place this year on May 30-June 3. \nThe goal of the Summer Fellowship program is to offer the opportunity for academically talented students to engage deeply with theological and philosophical questions that go to the heart of our current cultural and ecclesial experience. Our theme for this summer’s program is “Gender\, Technology\, and Culture.” \nG.K. Chesterton once predicted that the proposition “leaves are green in summer” will one day become a matter of religious conviction over which swords will be drawn. His prophetic remark foreshadows the present crisis: a basic element of human experience—our being differentiated as male and female\, husbands and wives\, mothers and fathers\, sons and daughters\, brothers and sisters—has been widely nullified and its expression increasingly sanctioned. What caused this strange development? \nThe ideology of gender draws on a wider and older narrative of progressive liberation\, both from traditional political structures and from the givenness of our “material” condition. Its rhetorical face likens the movement to recent civil rights battles over race or sex. But\, unlike the question of race\, and more radically than that of sex\, it attempts to detach the personal subject from a mechanistically conceived and objectified body\, ostensibly transmutable according to subjective preferences. The mantle of political and social liberation has given way to an explicit assault on the givenness of natural and cultural form. As such\, the gender movement is perhaps the starkest unmasking to date of modern rationality’s deeper implications. \nOur 2023 Summer Fellowship will focus on the relationship between the current gender movement\, modernity’s dominant scientific and technological understanding of reality\, and the rejection of cultural form. The Fellowship will include not only lectures and seminars but also cultural events. \nApplication\nProspective Summer Fellows should complete the application form by April 7.  Acceptance notifications will be sent by April 21. \nPlease note: Applications are still being accepted; however\, new applicants may be waitlisted\, as the acceptance process is already underway (4/19/23). \nCosts\nAll Summer Fellows will receive a scholarship that covers the cost of housing in the dorms of The Catholic University of America\, meals\, and tuition. Participants will be responsible for their own travel to Washington\, DC\, public transportation expenses\, and a $200 registration fee. \nQuestions may be directed to Elena Martin at emartin@johnpaulii.edu or 202-526-3799.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education Course: Faith and American Culture
DESCRIPTION:The Fall 2023 course in the Institute’s ongoing Continuing Education Series will be “Faith and American Culture”.  It will be held on Wednesday evenings from September 6 to December 6\, 2023. \nThis course ponders the main assumptions of America’s liberal tradition as articulated by its formative thinkers along with its various interpreters. The reflection—theological\, philosophical\, and historical in nature—is informed both by the Christian proposition that man is imago Dei and by the view that man cannot but be shaped by his culture. The primary concern of the course is whether Christian anthropology is commensurate with the principles that underlie America’s founding. \nClass will be taught in person in McGivney Hall on Catholic University of America’s campus in Room 006\, and offered online simultaneously. \nThe class fee is $150. To register\, please complete the online registration form. Payment can be submitted via check\, cash\, or credit card. To submit a credit card payment\, please click here. \nThis course can be taken toward renewal requirements for VCEA licensure. Numerous high schools in the Archdiocese of Washington accept the course for CEU credits. \nIf you have questions please contact information@johnpaulii.edu. \n \n

SUMMARY:Parental Rights and Family Relations in a Postmodern Age
DESCRIPTION:What is at stake when the family and the law intersect? As part of its ongoing cultural engagement\, the John Paul II Institute will host a gathering of scholars in law\, politics\, philosophy\, and theology to discuss “Parental Rights and Family Relations” on Sept. 22-23. Co-sponsors of the event are the Center for Law and the Human Person at CUA’s Columbus School of Law and the Alliance Defending Freedom. \nLimited seats are available for students of the Institute and the Columbus School of Law to audit the discussions. Interested students may contact mrice@johnpaulii.edu to sign up to attend. \nEvent Description\nWhen Terry McAuliffe stated during his 2021 Virginia Gubernatorial campaign that he didn’t “think parents should be telling schools what they should teach\,” he ignited a small firestorm that may have cost him the election. The statement betrayed the smug and high-handed attitude of education bureaucrats and teachers’ union officials. Yet\, McAuliffe’s gaffe represented a relatively mild version of a larger trend in which more radical calls for “rethinking” the family in toto echo through the academy and government. The trend is not only in the direction of assimilating parental authority to public institutions; it also includes\, perhaps paradoxically\, privatizing and contractualizing currents\, for example in surrogacy arrangements. In either case\, the effect is to diminish or deny the importance of the natural relationship between the parents and the child and\, by implication\, in the other familial relationships as well. \nMcAuliffe’s statement alludes to parental objections concerning the education offered by public schools. But American law poses many challenges for parents beyond books and curricula. The Covid pandemic’s various mandates were simply the latest twist on the long-running issue of parental authority over\, or even knowledge of\, medical and other life-altering decisions\, for example in cases of abortion or “gender transition.” Then there is the question of the basis for deciding custody battles\, the termination of parent-child relationships\, the requirements for adoption\, and the larger ambiguities and implications of the “child’s best interests” and “parental fitness” standards. Finally\, there are the many questions raised by new biotechnological practices\, which have twisted and fragmented parenthood into a cluster of gametic\, genetic\, gestational\, contractual\, psychological\, associational\, and other “parts” or aspects. \nEach of these vexed areas\, as well as others\, raises issues concerning the basis and nature of parental rights and duties under American law. But each also raises profound philosophical and theological questions. The same-sex marriage movement\, for example\, forced a wider reassessment of the nature of the parent-child relationship\, of its normative value and anthropological centrality. Of course\, “rethinking” the parent-child relationship has implications for all familial relationships and reveals a drift toward the displacement of natural familial relations by non-familial institutions. Certainly\, these issues\, played out in their distinctively American ways\, are nevertheless universal in their scope. Pierre Manent\, for example\, has spoken of our “metaphysical” ambition “to inscribe in positive law the thesis according to which the just or legitimate human order excludes all reference to a natural norm or purpose.” \nOf course\, law has always played a crucial role\, whether to set conditions for marriage or divorce\, to mediate marriage’s effects\, for example inheritance (cf. Leo XIII\, Arcanum divinae sapientia)\, to establish lines of succession\, or to intervene in cases of abuse or neglect. But more fundamentally\, familial relationships are not only “natural” with an overlay of positive law. Rather\, the very genesis of law is deeply involved with the developing sense of both marriage and the family. Indeed\, this simultaneity of development is a mark of civilization in its origins. This observation invites reflection on precisely how the family\, law\, and civilization do and should relate. \nOur symposium seeks to address these questions and more\, specifically from the point of view of law\, philosophy\, and theology. \nSchedule

Where and how have we cast the bands asunder\, and what comes next? \nAmong the conference’s other featured speakers are several past guest lecturers at the Institute\, including Douglas Farrow\, Ken Myers\, and R.V. Young\, as well as Rod Dreher\, R.R. Reno\, and others. \nStudent scholarships are available to help offset the cost of attendance. \n

SUMMARY:Approaching the Mystery of the Person: Person and Act at the Center of Karol Wojtyła's Thought
DESCRIPTION:The Introduction to Karol Wojtyła’s philosophical magnum opus\, Person and Act\, offers a bird’s-eye view of how his study differs from previous ones. If the person traditionally lies in the background\, as a presupposition for the act to be human\, Wojtyła explains that his study will reverse that approach. It will show how the act “reveals the person; it will be a study of the person through the act” (103). What is it that distinguishes the human act from the happenings in nature or the actions of animals? Wojtyła begins with the fact of moral experience and plumbs its richness\, not to develop normative judgments or a systematic ethics\, but to understand the anthropology implicit within the experience itself. His 1965 “Synopsis” tells us that a “correct interpretation” of this experience “demands a grasp of that which is essential to the person.” It “does not reveal the person to us in an accidental\, collateral or secondary way—but\, properly\, in a most essential way.”  It therefore provides the possibility of “build[ing] an anthropology that is as essential and integral as possible” (4). Person and Act “aims in the broadest sense to explicate the reality that the person is. The act will be the source from which we shall draw cognition about the reality that is the person . . .” (106). \nHence\, if we ask\, why center a study of man on the human act?\, the answer will be that the act constitutes\, for Wojtyła\, a privileged source for the discovery of the person. It is here that man experiences his personal existence most acutely\, both in his immanence in his act and also in the transcendence his act implies\, its personalistic values and their posture toward objective good. It is in the act that the person is most present to himself and to his world. \nOur conference seeks to explore Person and Act’s disclosure of the person and its importance for the rest of Wojtyła’s and Saint John Paul II’s philosophical approach to the person. \nSchedule\n\n                \n                \n                            \n                            \n                            \n                    \n            \n    \n    \n    \n\n\nRegistration\n10/31/23: Online registration is now closed.  Please email mrice@johnpaulii.edu for instructions on how to register.
