  • Finalprogram for REDO.Indd
    Pastoral issues in Science and Human Dignity February 12 - 14, 2014 | McKenna Hall Auditorium The Institute for Church Life is the heart of the University of Notre Dame’s direct service to the Church. This service reaches parishes and dioceses, as well as the whole spectrum of Church leaders - bishops, clergy, religious, and laity - in the form of theological education, pastoral scholarship and research, and faith formation. www.icl.nd.edu The Gospel of Christ and the teachings of his Church guide the work of the USCCB. The work of the Conference is rooted in three general mission goals and organized into three key areas of responsibility. • To act collaboratively and consistently on vital issues confronting the Church and society • To foster communion with the Church in other nations, within the Church universal, under the leadership of its supreme pastor, the Roman Pontiff • To offer appropriate assistance to each bishop in fulfilling his particular ministry in the local Church www.usccb.org The Purpose of this symposium is to help bishops and their diocesan educational officials explore some of the fundamental theoretical issues in the relationship between science and religion, and some of the practical issues that flow from the interaction be- tween science and religion. It will also include special presentations in the University Planetarium (Notre Dame’s Digital Visualization Theater) and on materials and methods available to diocesan, parish and school educators. SCHEDULE Of Events (All events will take place in the McKenna Hall Auditorium unless otherwise noted.) Wednesday, February 12 5:15 p.m. | Reception (Morris Inn, Private Dining Room) 6:00 p.m.

  • General Bias and Catholic Identity
    General Bias and Catholic Identity Tom Jeannot Gonzaga University [email protected] In what follows, I will argue that what there may be left of our shared sense of Gonzaga's Catholic identity, operative as a gestalt, is devolving into incoherence. Since this is in the nature of a personal statement, I want to begin in a personal way by calling on my background (suitably whitewashed), to the extent that it is relevant to the question of Catholic identity. I check "Catholic" in the box that asks for "religious preference." I have been surrounded by Jesuits my whole life. Like many American Catholics, I confess that I'm wracked with ambivalence, sometimes tormented by self- doubt, often uncertain about the teaching authority of the Church and who has it1, too committed to John Dewey's idea of "democracy as a way of life" to be immune from the temptations of antinomian, antiauthoritarian sentiments and impulses, and often critical of the shadow-play of certain affiliations of the Church in recent decades with the politics of American fundamentalist Christianity, its characteristically American anti-intellectualism, its corresponding proclivities to violence, and its exclusivism and narrow sectarianism. The Church I grew up in seems different in various ways from the Church today, which has led me to cultivate a kind of exilic consciousness. The theology I imbibed with mother's milk is the theology of liberation. I figure that as a matter of personal psychology I'm not in this boat alone. Many of us are confused. Some of us have just given up and gone their own way.
