SUMMARY:Life\, Religious Liberty\, and the Survival of Catholic Health Care
DESCRIPTION:The protection of the unborn\, religious freedom and the survival of Catholic health care will be largely determined by the outcome of the ongoing national debate on the American health care system.  Certain legislative proposals would place the government at the center of healthcare instead of the patient (and their relationship with God) thereby significantly reducing patient freedom and control in their own healthcare.  How does Church teaching inform Catholics and people of goodwill to evaluate these policies?  What can I do to defend religious freedom and protect Catholic healthcare?  The Christ Medicus Foundation and the Catholic Information Center invite you to join this amazing evening that will include a panel discussion moderated by EWTN’s Catherine Hadro and a wine reception to follow.

SUMMARY:Freedom Beyond Civility: Providing the Better Answers to Today’s Social Questions
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be truly free? Is it merely a matter of exercising our rights and resisting coercion? Or is it something more? This four-part series aims to illumine the freedom Christ promises in the life of grace\, and to discern how this be lived out in today’s world. \nThis event is free\, open to the public\, and will be followed by a reception with light refreshments.

SUMMARY:Tales That Tell: Moral Devastation & Original Sin in Literature (Pt. 3)
DESCRIPTION:The Catastrophe of the Self: Walker Percy on Sin and Transcendence\nThroughout his writings\, Walker Percy explores modern man’s catastrophic failure to understand who he is. This talk will explain Percy’s diagnosis of this catastrophe–its nature and causes–and various false avenues of escaping it.  We will pay particular attention to how Percy’s understanding of the spiritual crisis of modernity–a crisis of self-knowledge– plays out in his science fiction novel\, Love in the Ruins.

SUMMARY:When Women Pray: Healing and Hope for the Church in Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Kathleen Beckman asked eleven women to write about their experiences with the power of prayer “to strengthen an army of praying women united for the many spiritual and temporal needs of the human family.” None of us have any doubt these days that the need is great — and in our beloved Church too\, as so many of us are shaken by the scandalous news of this summer. Kathryn Jean Lopez\, one of the eleven chapter authors\, discusses the urgency for women to “save the peace of the world\,” as recent popes have put it\, in loving\, fervent\, prayerful intercession. \nKathleen and Kathryn will discuss practical ways to become “contemplatives in action” for “such a time as this” (Esther 4:14). \nKathleen Beckman is co-founder of the Foundation of Prayer for Priests and author of When Women Pray and Praying for Priests (a second edition of which is being released this Fall). Kathryn Jean Lopez is senior fellow at the National Review Institute where she directs the Center for Religion\, Culture\, and Civil Society and editor-at-large of National Review.

SUMMARY:Tales That Tell: Moral Devastation & Original Sin in Literature (Pt. 1)
DESCRIPTION:Forgiveness and Solidarity in Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov\nFyodor Dostoevsky’s last and greatest novel\, The Brothers Karamazov\, explores the question of God’s existence against the backdrop of suffering and betrayal within a troubled family. The genius of Dostoevsky is to have grasped that there can be no love for human beings without a love for God — and conversely\, there can be no belief in God without a deep and profound love for mankind. Prof. Healy will present a brief overview of the structure and characters of the novel\, focusing on the themes of solidarity and forgiveness. \n

SUMMARY:The Human Advantage: The Future of American Work in an Age of Smart Machines
DESCRIPTION:Bestselling author and economist Jay W. Richards makes the definitive case for how the free market and individual responsibility can save the American Dream in an age of automation and mass disruption. \nFor two and a half centuries\, America has been held together by the belief that if you work hard and conduct yourself responsibly in this country\, you will be able to prosper and leave a better life for your children. But over the past decade\, that idea has come into crisis. A recession\, the mass outsourcing of stable jobs\, and a coming wave of automation that will replace millions of blue- and white-collar jobs alike have left many people worried that the game is rigged and that our best days are behind us. \nIn this story-driven manifesto on the future of American work\, Jay Richards argues that such thinking is counterproductive–making us more fragile\, more dependent\, and less equipped to succeed in a rapidly changing economy. If we’re going to survive\, we need a new model for how ordinary people can thrive in this age of mass disruption. Richards pulls back the curtain on what’s really happening in our economy\, dispatching myths about capitalism\, greed\, and upward mobility. And he tells the stories of how real individuals have begun to rebuild a culture of virtue\, capitalizing on the skills that are most uniquely human: creativity\, resilience\, and empathy for the needs of others. \nDestined to take its place alongside classics like Economics in One Lesson\, The Human Advantage is the essential book for understanding the future of American work\, and how each of us can make this era of staggering change work on our behalf. \nBooks available for purchase at the CIC.

SUMMARY:The #MeToo Moment: Second Thoughts on the Sexual Revolution
DESCRIPTION:A timely conversation with distinguished experts\n\n\n\nThe #MeToo movement has generated widespread outrage over sexual harassment and the culture that condoned it. More broadly\, it has prompted new questions about related harms to women and whether those harms share a common root in the sexual revolution. \nThe current cultural moment\, then\, calls for a thoughtful look at the promises—and consequences—of the sexual revolution. Watch this timely conversation with distinguished experts who will draw on women’s experiences and the latest evidence from the social sciences\, law\, and medicine\, as they offer “second thoughts” on the sexual revolution. \n\n\n\nOPENING REMARKS: THE CULTURAL MOMENT\nMary Eberstadt\n \nCatholic Women’s Forum: Mary Eberstadt\, The Cultural Moment: What We Now KnowMary Eberstadt from Ethics and Public Policy Center on Vimeo. \n\nPANEL II: EXPLOITATION: A BOOMING BUSINESS\nJennifer Lahl\, Mary G.

SUMMARY:Why Liberalism Failed
DESCRIPTION:Has liberalism failed because it has succeeded? \nOf the three dominant ideologies of the twentieth century—fascism\, communism\, and liberalism—only the last remains. This has created a peculiar situation in which liberalism’s proponents tend to forget that it is an ideology and not the natural end-state of human political evolution. As Patrick Deneen argues in this provocative book\, liberalism is built on a foundation of contradictions: it trumpets equal rights while fostering incomparable material inequality; its legitimacy rests on consent\, yet it discourages civic commitments in favor of privatism; and in its pursuit of individual autonomy\, it has given rise to the most far-reaching\, comprehensive state system in human history. Here\, Deneen offers an astringent warning that the centripetal forces now at work on our political culture are not superficial flaws but inherent features of a system whose success is generating its own failure.

SUMMARY:Finding God in the Modern World (Part 3)
DESCRIPTION:The Drama of Grace\nSigrid Undset and the Narrative of Conversion\nwith Fr. Raymund Snyder\, OP\nSigrid Undset is best known for her novel Kristin Lavransdatter\, which earned her the Nobel Prize in 1928. Although she is acclaimed for the historical and psychological realism of this portrait of a 14th Norwegian woman\, her novels also contain a deeper layer of richness that can only properly be appreciated through a theological lens. In this lecture\, Fr. Snyder will present some of Undset’s stories of conversion in light of St. Thomas Aquinas’s doctrine of grace. Undset’s writings illustrate to modern readers the beauty of a heart transformed by the God who is ever ancient and ever new.
