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 remark foreshadows our current denial of basic elements of human nature and experience such as the reality of men and women and the nature of marriage. How did we get to this point\, and what role has law played? Join us for a critical examination of modern American law in its background\, implications\, and assumptions. \nSelected Texts: \n• St. Thomas\, Treatise on Law (Hackett\, 2000)\n• The Roots of Political Philosophy: Ten Forgotten Socratic Dialogues\, ed. Thomas L. Pangle (Ithaca\, NY: Cornell University\, 1987)\n• H.L.A. Hart\, The Concept of Law (Oxford University Press: any edition) \nDo not miss the application deadline\, January 5th! You may apply online or download an application and send it with supporting documents to the Office of Admissions. \nPontifical John Paul II Institute\nMcGivney Hall\n620 Michigan Ave. NE\nWashington\, D.C. 20064 \nIf you have questions\, please contact information@johnpaulii.edu.

Jarosław Kupczak\, O.P.\, will present a lecture on “The Continuing Importance of John Paul II’s Thought” on Thursday\, Feb. 22\, at 4:00 p.m.\, in Keane Auditorium\, McGivney Hall. \nConsidering only the numbers\, the pontificate of John Paul II stands as an unprecedented and monumental event in history of the Catholic Church: the second-longest pontificate in history\, with unparalleled numbers of documents published\, countries and continents visited\, and saints recognized\, and multitudes of people who personally met the pope. Even more significantly\, John Paul II’s pontificate provides the hermeneutic for the most important event in the Catholic Church of the past hundred years: the Second Vatican Council\, which provided the Catholic response to the crisis of late modernity. Fr. Kupczak will reflect on the most important achievements of John Paul II as an authentic interpreter of Vatican II: the evangelical and apostolic understanding of the office of the Roman Pontiff\, the evangelization of culture\, the defense of moral and religious truths under assault of post-truth ideologies\, the invitation to dialogue in the divided and violence ridden world\, and the Christocentric anthropology as the point of reference for cultural decline of the post-modern culture. \nFr. Kupczak\, who is Professor of Theological Anthropology and Director of the Center for Research on the Thought of John Paul II at the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow\, is currently teaching at the John Paul II Institute as the inaugural recipient of the David L. Schindler Fellowship for Distinguished Scholars. \nThe lecture will be followed by a reception.

It is a reality the child first learns at his or her mother’s breast. Why then has it been so widely nullified and its expression increasingly sanctioned? What caused this strange development? The answers lie deep in the theological and philosophical assumptions of modernity. \n \nThe 2024 John Paul II Institute’s annual Summer Fellowship “Gender\, Technology\, and Culture” will engage deeply with the theological and philosophical questions raised by the emergence and seeming success of gender ideology. We 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. \nThe Fellowship will include lectures\, ample time for discussion\, cultural events around Washington D.C.\, and social time among students and with faculty. \nThe Fellowship will take place May 20-24\, at the John Paul II Institute\, on the campus of The Catholic University of America. College juniors\, seniors\, and recent graduates in all majors are welcome to apply. \nApplication \nProspective Summer Fellows should complete the application form by March 1. (Deadline extended until March 15. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and as places remain available until March 15.) Acceptance notifications will be sent by March 15 (for applications received by March 1.) \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. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nI enjoyed all of the activities. I especially enjoyed the time at the National Gallery of Art because I was able to view the art through the anthropological lens that we were discussing this week. There was a great sense of community\, and we had awesome discussions through the week. (Emily Thomas\, 2023 Fellow). \nThe most valuable part of this experience for me was the deep dialogue into the issues of our culture\, to know how to respond. Often\, we miss the anthropological\, metaphysical\, theological assumptions of people around us and I think we cannot have adequate discussion without recognizing these things. This definitely gave me the backdrop to do that more. (Joseph Hempfling\, 2023 Fellow).

Our goal will\, in the first place\, be to gain a deeper understanding of these texts\, but we will also consider the men who wrote these masterpieces\, men who were famously powerful personalities. In doing so\, we will gain a familiarity with the vital concerns that shaped their work and find a time perhaps not so unlike our own. Throughout\, the hope is to encounter authors who offer a profound vision of life lived in and under Christ in the modern world. \nNote: Because of the amount of material covered in the course\, participants in the class should have done a majority of the reading for the course before it begins. \nThe course meets Monday through Friday\, July 22-26\, 9:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.\, and 1:30-3:00 p.m. Class will be taught in person and offered online simultaneously. \nIn addition to this course\, the Institute will offer a course on “Called to Love: Theology of the Body”. Classes will take place Monday through Friday\, July 15-19\, 9:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.\, and 1:30-3:00 p.m. \nEach course 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. \nRegistration for the course closes Friday\, July 19. \nNumerous high schools in the Archdiocese of Washington and the Diocese of Arlington accept this course toward VCEA licensure or CEU requirements for teachers. \nFor more information\, email: information@johnpaulii.edu URL:https://www.johnpaulii.edu/events/twentieth-century-catholic-literature-summer-intensive-course/ CATEGORIES:AT THE INSTITUTE ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.johnpaulii.edu/wp-content/uploads/K._Korovin_-_In_the_boat.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240823T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240823T163000 DTSTAMP:20260504T034634 CREATED:20240606T161818Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240823T194546Z UID:6605-1724403600-1724430600@www.johnpaulii.edu SUMMARY:2024-25 Orientation DESCRIPTION:New and returning students for the 2024-25 academic year will gather with Institute faculty and staff for Orientation on Friday\, August 23\, at 9:00 a.m.  Orientation will take place in Keane Auditorium\, McGivney Hall. \nA detailed schedule for the day will be available in mid-July.

This “return to the sources” sought to reinvigorate the highly specialized and technical theology of the day with the vigor and spirit of the Church’s earliest masters. Rather than discovering merely the primitive origins of what would be perfected in later theology\, these scholars discovered in the Fathers a rich\, integrated theological vision in which the meaning of Christ transfigured the whole of creation and the innermost depths of man’s life. Such engagement was indispensable for the developments of key themes in 20th-century theology in the areas of anthropology\, ecclesiology\, and sacramentality. This course will introduce some significant patristic authors including Athanasius\, Gregory of Nyssa\, Dionysius\, Maximus the Confessor\, and John of Damascus\, as well as their 20th-century reception by theologians such as Hans Urs von Balthasar\, Jean Daniélou\, and Georges Florovsky. \nThe course will be taught in person and offered online simultaneously. The in-person class meetings will be in McGivney Hall Room 006 on The Catholic University of America’s campus. \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 or call 202.526.3799.

Also taking part in the discussion will be Carl A. Anderson\, Past Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus; Rev. José Granados\, dcjm\, Superior General of the Disciples of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary; and Canon George Woodall\, Pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Skegness\, UK\, and translator of the book under discussion. \nThe conversation will be followed by a reception. \n \nFrom the publisher: \n“The mystery of the human person becomes truly clear only in the mystery of the Incarnate Word.” Taken from the Constitution Gaudium et Spes of the Second Vatican Council\, this phrase is the foundation of Christian anthropology\, an area very often neglected in theological studies. Msgr. Jean Laffitte offers us a wealth of reflections on a wide range of themes including the family\, love\, life\, suffering and death\, the moral conscience\, society\, Christian action\, forgiveness and the Heart of Christ. What is striking on reading these pages is the great unity that emerges\, making this work a decisive contribution to Christian reflection on the nature of the human person\, their place in society\, aspirations and choices\, origin and destiny. \nThe light of Revelation illuminates every dimension of existence and of those fundamental human experiences so often evoked by Pope St John Paul II. At a time when\, one by one\, the pillars that support the complex nature of the human being are crumbling\, and in particular when the bonds of paternity and sonship are being eroded\, the author traces the contours of a true filial anthropology-the expression is destined to become a milestone-the only one capable of giving human persons an understanding of the meaning of their life\, as well as an answer to the questions and concerns in their mind and heart. The eternal Son reveals to us the secret of our created being: we are sons in the Son\, chosen and loved. \nThis volume is available for purchase from Gracewing.

To begin\, the course will provide an outline of his phenomenological-philosophical view of personhood drawn primarily from his pre-papal work Love and Responsibility. Next\, we will examine the Pope’s theological approach to human love and the vocation inscribed within the sexual difference through select texts from his Wednesday Catechesis\, Man and Woman He Created Them. These theological and philosophical frameworks “take flesh” in the final part of the course\, in which we will read and discuss a number of literary texts written by Wojtyla/John Paul II including The Jeweler’s Shop. \nThe course will be taught in person in McGivney Hall on Catholic University of America’s campus in Room 006 and offered online simultaneously. \nThe course fee is $150.

His lecture will address some traditional mediations of philosophy and Christianity and will also reflect on the significance of postmodern projects to de-Christianize Western culture\, as well as philosophy. In the light of these reflections\, is it still possible to speak of a Christening of thought? If possible\, what might this be like? \nThe lecture will be followed by a reception. \n  \n \n  URL:https://www.johnpaulii.edu/events/philosophy-revelation-and-the-christening-of-thought/ LOCATION:Pontifical John Paul II Institute–McGivney Hall\, 620 Michigan Avenue\, NE\, Washington\, DC\, 20064\, United States CATEGORIES:LECTURES ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.johnpaulii.edu/wp-content/uploads/Dove-Square.png ORGANIZER;CN="Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family":MAILTO:mrice@johnpaulii.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250319T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250319T160000 DTSTAMP:20260504T034634 CREATED:20250220T163338Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250401T200108Z UID:7010-1742396400-1742400000@www.johnpaulii.edu SUMMARY:Virtual Information Session DESCRIPTION:If you are interested in pursuing graduate studies in Theology\, don’t miss this opportunity!
