SUMMARY:Persecuted From Within
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored with the Institute for Human Ecology. \nMany Catholics have either left the Church or been scandalized by the errors or immorality rampant in her clergy. We’ve watched aghast as faithful Catholics have been restricted or punished without just cause\, while those who confuse\, contradict\, or undermine the Faith are elevated. In this bold and urgent book\, the authors notice an apparent absurdity: those most disciplined by the Church at this time are often least deserving of correction. This protracted state of confusion and injustice\, plain for all to see\, has shaken the faith of millions. \nFar from being just another diatribe\, these absorbing pages provide a deeply illuminating historical perspective\, revealing how this chaotic period in the Church is hardly unprecedented — or unpredicted. Instead\, it represents a recurring feature of life in the Church throughout her history and is even a part of the divine plan. With this context\, you will be able to make sense of and discover solutions to our present suffering. \nYou will learn: \n\nWhen to obey — and when to disobey — a priest or bishop; how several saints were purified and sanctified by unholy superiors \nWhat not to do when responding to the crisis of persecution in the Church \nHow Christ both predicted and prefigured the sufferings of His Church at the hands of wicked prelates \nPractical ways you can respond and share the truth \nAchievable means to embolden your faith and remain obedient while correcting error \nHow to talk to non-Catholics about the pandemic of filth and error in the Church \n\nYou will see how eleven of the greatest Catholics in history — canonized saints all — suffered from undeserved persecution by their superiors and even betrayal by clergy and how this suffering was part of their sanctification\, serving as a heroic model for us today. You will contemplate the valor and wisdom of priests from the earliest days of the Church; of laypeople from St. Joan of Arc to St. Thomas More; of religious\, such as Sts. Teresa of Ávila\, John of the Cross\, and Alphonsus Liguori; and of modern-day giants\, including St. Padre Pio and Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. As you travel with these remarkable characters across twenty centuries and four continents\, you will see the wisdom of the divine plan and be encouraged to defend the Church through this present hour of darkness. \nAdditionally\, you will find thorough and orthodox explanations of doctrine concerning Church authority\, fraternal correction\, and the virtue of obedience\, as well as a practical plan to redeem our current shameful chapter in Church history. This book stands as a valuable and heartening resource for pastors\, catechists\, and those who seek to “counsel the doubtful” and “comfort the afflicted.”

SUMMARY:The Current of Desire: A Philosophy of Love in Motion
DESCRIPTION:This event is in person! \nThe popular prophets of the twenty-first century encourage a wholesale embrace of human desire. If you want it\, you ought to have it. But\, to what extent can our desires be trusted? And\, in what sense do they reveal our destiny? This lecture will consider desire according to the mind of St. Thomas Aquinas as a love in motion\, specifically a love that stands in need of healing and growth. For only with order and by discipline does one attain to the horizon of his homing. \nCo-Sponsored with The Congressional Catholic Staff Association.

SUMMARY:Glorifying Christ
DESCRIPTION:Cardinal Francis E. George\, O.M.I.\, was a model pastor and a heroic disciple of Christ. A native Chicagoan\, he was told as a young man that he would never be a priest in Chicago because of a physical disability resulting from polio. He went on to be ordained a priest with the Oblates of Mary Immaculate in 1963. He was appointed as Archbishop of Chicago in 1997\, created a cardinal in 1998\, and served in Chicago until 2014\, just months before his death at the age of 78. \nCardinal George’s many gifts — including his superior intellect — made him a pivotal player in Church affairs nationally and internationally. He governed during difficult and challenging times\, yet he always attempted to lead with the heart of Christ\, living out his episcopal motto\, “To Christ be glory in the Church.” \nA man of pastoral availability\, Cardinal George poured out his life in service to Christ and the Church\, always attentive to the poor and those on the margins. Universally admired for his pursuit and proclamation of the truth\, and his personal witness to the Gospel\, Cardinal George remains a model for discipleship and leadership. By the time of his death in 2015\, Cardinal George was regarded as one of the most respected bishops in American Catholic history. His fascinating and inspiring story reminds us that God’s ways are always better than our own.

SUMMARY:All the Kingdoms of The World
DESCRIPTION:A fresh assessment of Catholic integralism and other new and radical religious alternatives to liberal democracy. \nAccording to a common narrative\, the twentieth century spelled the end of faith-infused political movements. Their ideologies\, like Catholic integralism\, would soon be forgotten. Humans were finally learning to keep religion out of politics. \nOr were we? In the twenty-first century\, nations as diverse as Russia\, India\, Poland\, and Turkey have seen a revival of religious politics\, and many religious movements in other countries have proved similarly resilient. A new generation of political theologians passionately reformulate ancient religious doctrines to revolutionize modern political life. They insist that states recognize the true religion\, and they reject modern liberal ideals of universal religious freedom and church-state separation. \nIn this book\, philosopher Kevin Vallier explores these new doctrines\, not as lurid oddities but as though they might be true. The anti-liberal doctrine known as Catholic integralism serves as Vallier’s test case. Yet his approach naturally extends to similar ideologies within Chinese Confucianism and Sunni Islam. \nVallier treats anti-liberal thinkers with the respect that liberals seldom afford them and offers more moderate skeptics of liberalism a clear account of the alternatives. Many liberals\, by contrast\, will find these doctrines frightening and strange but of enduring interest. Vallier invites all his readers on a unique intellectual adventure\, encouraging them to explore unfamiliar ideals through the lenses of theology\, philosophy\, politics\, economics\, and history.

SUMMARY:The Shroud of Jesus: And the Sign John Ingeniously Concealed
DESCRIPTION:Gilbert R. Lavoie\, M.D.\, invites you on a fascinating adventure to examine the Shroud of Turin\, juxtaposing his scientific findings with John’s Gospel account of the death and resurrection of Jesus. This story of the life of Jesus comes alive through relatable\, real-world scientific witnesses who explore whether the image on the shroud is the work of human hands\, a natural phenomenon\, or a supernatural event. \nThere are abundant photos that allow you to decide for yourself what the image and blood marks of this cloth reveal. As you explore the mystery of this shroud through the eyes of forensics and the lens of scripture\, you will begin to discover the following\, and much more: \n\nThe reason why the shroud image isn’t mentioned in the Gospels \nSignificant studies that demonstrate why the shroud cannot be a painting \nDetails that confirm that the man of the shroud was crucified \nHow the shroud corroborates the Gospel accounts of the death\, resurrection\, and ascension of Jesus \n\nDr. Lavoie conducts his own studies to determine how blood transferred from a crucified body to cloth. He applies his experience in treating trauma patients and observing the appearance of corpses in autopsy rooms to unveil intriguing insights about the image and blood on the shroud. And he details other experts’ hands-on observations of the shroud at microscopic\, biological\, and chemical levels and shows how they attest to its authenticity. \nThis book is a visual journey that opens the door to new insights into the Gospel of John. It is only through John’s witness of the life of Jesus that we can come to a more complete appreciation of the Shroud of Jesus.

SUMMARY:The Future of Catholicism and Education in Modern Secular Ireland
DESCRIPTION:The Catholic Church and secular society at large are experiencing unprecedented social and moral transformation in Ireland and throughout the Western World.   This is creating new challenges that require innovative models for Catholic education. In the past\, Ireland’s unparalleled influence on Catholic education worldwide was supported by free government-backed Catholic schools in Ireland which succeeded the British educational system. Today declining religious adherence in Ireland\, the disappearance of Faith formation from the remaining nominally Catholic schools\, as well as declining academic standards have placed transformed Irish society and Catholic education in particular. \nIn response to these realities \, Professor Pádraig Cantillon-Murphy is leading efforts to forge new models of Catholic education in Ireland and beyond.  Recognizing the need for Catholic education independent of the secular state\, Professor Cantillon-Murphy and his wife Grace established Mater Dei Academy\, a completely original academic model for Ireland: independent and lay-run explicitly Catholic\, Cambridge International certified\, and classically inspired in pedagogy and curriculum. \nIn this presentation Professor Pádraig Cantillon-Murphy will provide an overview of classical education in the Irish context\, the historical role of Ireland in the global education ecosystem\, and address the challenges facing Catholic education and faith formation in contemporary society\, explicating the need for a reestablishment of a new academic model suitable for the third millennium.

SUMMARY:József Cardinal Mindszenty: Memoirs
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us and our co-sponsor\, the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation\, on Friday\, June 16th (3:00-5:00pm) for a presentation\, interview\, and book signing of József Cardinal Mindszenty’s Memoirs with author Daniel J. Mahoney at the Victims of Communism Museum. \nPLEASE NOTE: This event WILL NOT take place at the CIC\, but rather at the VICTIMS OF COMMUNISM MUSEUM located at 900 15TH STREET NW\, WASHINGTON\, DC. \nThe event will include a presentation by Dr. Mahoney on Cardinal Mindszenty (1892-1975)\, who was one of the anti-totalitarian titans of the twentieth century. The Hungarian Cardinal\, now named Venerable by the Catholic Church\, tenaciously defended human dignity and religious freedom against the totalitarian movements and regimes that subjugated east-central Europe during the worst years of the twentieth century. As the late Cardinal George Pell has testified\, “The memoirs of Cardinal Mindszenty are enthralling\, evidence of a terrible time\, to be set with Solzhenitsyn’s tales of the Gulag.” But like Solzhenitsyn’s work\, Mindszenty’s Memoirs also provide a witness to fidelity and hope. \nThe book includes a foreword by Joseph Pearce and an introduction by Dr. Mahoney. These moving Memoirs reveal the full story of the legendary hero-priest who has come to be regarded as a symbol of Christian and national resistance to communism. \nDr. Mahoney’s presentation will be followed by an interview\, including a Q&A period. The event will conclude with a book signing. \nPlease register to attend through the Victims of Communism registration page!

SUMMARY:Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life
DESCRIPTION:Gravity affects every aspect of our physical being\, but there’s a psychological force just as powerful―yet almost nobody has heard of it. It’s responsible for bringing groups of people together and pulling them apart\, making certain goals attractive to some and not to others\, and fueling cycles of anxiety and conflict. In Wanting\, Luke Burgis draws on the work of French polymath René Girard to bring this hidden force to light and reveals how it shapes our lives and societies. \nAccording to Girard\, humans don’t desire anything independently. Human desire is mimetic―we imitate what other people want. This affects the way we choose partners\, friends\, careers\, clothes\, and vacation destinations. Mimetic desire is responsible for the formation of our very identities. It explains the enduring relevancy of Shakespeare’s plays\, why Peter Thiel decided to be the first investor in Facebook\, and why our world is growing more divided as it becomes more connected. \nWanting also shows that conflict does not arise because of our differences―it comes from our sameness. Because we learn to want what other people want\, we often end up competing for the same things. Ignoring our large similarities\, we cling to our perceived differences. \nDrawing on his experience as an entrepreneur\, teacher\, and student of classical philosophy and theology\, Burgis shares tactics that help turn blind wanting into intentional wanting–not by trying to rid ourselves of desire\, but by desiring differently. It’s possible to be more in control of the things we want\, to achieve more independence from trends and bubbles\, and to find more meaning in our work and lives. \nThe future will be shaped by our desires. Wanting shows us how to desire a better one.

SUMMARY:CIC’s DC Eucharistic Procession

We will then bring Christ’s Real Presence onto the streets of our downtown DC neighborhood and will pass by Farragut Square\, Lafayette Square\, and McPherson Square before returning to the CIC. \n Join us as we pray especially for our country.  \nWhat is a Eucharistic Procession? \nThe Eucharist is the source and summit of the whole Christian life. A Eucharistic Procession\, therefore\, is a public witness of the veneration toward the most holy Eucharist\, conducted through public streets. It takes place in this way: A consecrated host – that is\, the real and substantial presence of Jesus Christ: body\, blood\, soul and divinity – is placed within a monstrance\, which is then lifted and carried by a priest who leads the faithful in procession \nSchedule: \n\n9:00 am: Doors open at the CIC\n9:30 am: Mass celebrated by Fr. Charles Trullols\n10:15 am: Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament; Procession begins\nAround noon: Procession concludes at the CIC\n\nFYIs: \n\n\nThe CIC building’s parking garage will be open for procession attendees for a $10 flat rate from 8:00 am-1:00pm. Access to the Atlantic Parking Garage of 1501 K Street is from the alley that connects K & L Streets\, between 15th & 16th Streets. \n\n\nThe closest DC Metro stops to the CIC are McPherson Square (Orange/Blue/Silver Lines) and Farragut North (Red Line). \n\n\nThe procession will go on rain or shine. So check the weather forecast\, and bring your umbrella or sunscreen. \n\n\nDress code: Professional Casual to Sunday Best. \n\n\nThere will be altar stations along the procession’s route. If you kneel on the ground in prayer\, you may want to bring something to cushion your knees. \n\n\nWater and snacks will not be provided. \n\n\nWe will carry your prayer intentions with us during the Procession. Submit your requests through this private online form. \n\n\nFor questions or assistance RSVP-ing\, please email us contact@cicdc.org or call 202-783-2062\, ext. 4. \n  \nIn The News:  \n\n\nOur Sunday Visitor by Kurt Jensen:“New Eucharistic procession aims to bring Christ into the U.S. capital’s public square”\nArlington Catholic Herald: “Eucharistic procession in downtown DC”\nTCA’s Conversations with Consequences podcast with Grazie Christie:  “Ep. 211 – Father Trullols and DC’s Eucharistic Procession & the Dobbs Leak One Year Later”\nCatholic Connection radio show with Teresa Tomeo (minute 34:45): “Catholic Information Center Hosting First Eucharistic Procession in Downtown Washington\, D.C.”

SUMMARY:Pilgrimage to the Museum: Man's Search for God Through Art and Time
DESCRIPTION:Co- Sponsored with Divine Mercy University \nClick Here to Learn More about Divine Mercy University \nHave you ever visited a museum and found the narrations in the self-guided-tour headsets a bit tedious? Slightly too clinical\, perhaps? And have you ever noticed that God is rarely mentioned in art museums these days\, unless in a cold\, archaeological\, “scientific” way? All of that is about to change. \nIn Pilgrimage to the Museum\, author-curator Stephen Auth takes you on a provocative and colorful journey through the history of Western art\, interpreted through a lens of profound Christian faith ― appropriately so since\, in Auth’s view\, much of Western art expresses humanity’s search for God\, the Divine Artist-Creator. \nIn this beautifully illustrated voyage\, drawn largely from works on display at New York’s popular Metropolitan Museum of Art\, you will experience the ups and downs of humanity’s determined quest. Leaving all the art-history jargon at the front door\, Auth will transport you in his spiritual time machine from Egypt’s Old Kingdom\, through Greece and Rome\, to medieval Europe; from the age of the Renaissance\, through the Ages of Exploration and Enlightenment; and from the rise of atheism in the late 1800s to the seeds of a spiritual rebirth in the modern era. Along the way\, you will experience anew the masterpieces of many artists\, from Polykleitos to Raphael\, Duccio to Rembrandt\, Monet to Picasso. \nThrough the works of these great artists\, you will encounter the profound truths that lead many to God and cause many others to wonder. You will discover how various themes and motifs of man’s struggle to find God occur\, morph\, fade\, and then reoccur centuries later. As you laugh\, cry\, and pray your way through this illuminating voyage\, you will emerge refreshed and renewed in your own journey to God― and you will never look at a work of art the same way again. \n  \n \nThe event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.  \nEvent Schedule:  \n6:00-7:00pm- Lecture. \n7:00-8:00pm- Book Signing and Light Reception. \n8:00pm- Event Ends. \n

SUMMARY:Feminism Against Progress!
DESCRIPTION:Registration is full at this time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nModern feminism increasingly benefits only a small class of professional women. There is no reason to sacrifice everyone else’s happiness for their sake.\nMary Harrington shows that women’s liberation was less the result of moral progress than an effect of the material consequences of the Industrial Revolution. We’ve now left the industrial era for the digital age\, in which technology is liberating us from natural limits and embodied sex differences. This shift may benefit the elites\, but it also makes it easier to commodify women’s bodies\, human intimacy\, and female reproductive abilities.”Feminism” has been captured by well-off white-collar women\, who use it to advance their own economic and political interests under the pretense that these are the interests of all women—all the while wielding the term like a club against anyone\, male or female\, who dissents.Feminism against Progress is a stark warning against a dystopian future in which poor women become little more than convenient sources of body parts to be harvested and wombs to be rented by the rich. “Progress” no longer benefits the majority of women\, and only a feminism that is skeptical of it can truly defend their interests in the twenty-first century.\n  \nAbout Our Panel:  \nMary Harrington is a writer. Her work has been published in First Things\, American Affairs\, Palladium\, the New York Post\, The Spectator\, the New Statesman\, the London Times and the Mail on Sunday among others. She is a contributing editor at UnHerd\, where she writes a weekly column\, and her book Feminism Against Progress published in 2023 with Forum Press. She tweets as @moveincircles. \nLeah Libresco Sargeant is the author of Arriving at Amen and Building the Benedict Option. She is a convert from atheism to Catholicism who has worked as a policy analyst\, a data journalist\, and a curriculum developer at an organization teaching “defensive driving for your brain.” Her writing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Plough\, Comment\, First Things\, America\, and other outlets. She runs Other Feminisms\, a substack community focused on the dignity of dependence. \nChristine Emba is an opinion columnist and editor at The Washington Post and the author of Rethinking Sex: A Provocation (Penguin Random House\, 2022)\, as well as a contributing editor for Comment magazine. Before joining The Washington Post in 2015\, Christine was the Hilton Kramer Fellow in Criticism at the New Criterion and a deputy editor at the Economist Intelligence Unit\, focusing on technology and innovation. She grew up in Virginia and holds an A.B. in public and international affairs from Princeton University. \nAlexandra DeSanctis is a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and a columnist at National Review\, where she spent six years as a full-time journalist covering politics\, elections\, culture\, and the pro-life movement. Her writing has been published in the New York Times\, the Wall Street Journal\, the Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, and many other publications. She is co-author with Ryan T. Anderson of the book Tearing Us Apart: How Abortion Harms Everything and Solves Nothing\, released last June.

SUMMARY:Mount Wonder Book Event
DESCRIPTION:Memories of college have intruded on Bernard Kennisbaum’s mind with increasing regularity. It is his junior year\, and Bernard declares himself free of his father’s financial claws\, free to follow his Muse. A beguiling beauty\, Apryl\, has caught his eye\, and her scent leads him into a lecture hall that will change his life. His unwitting arrival in a Great Books class—The Humanities Integration Program—devolves into a wild west showdown with a trigger-happy prof\, ambitious administrators\, jealous colleagues\, vengeful state officials\, hoodlums\, and hangover hippies. Lured in by poetry\, Plato\, and female pheromones\, Bernard discovers an unlikely collegiate underworld dedicated to rescuing Western civilization from soulless purveyors of the bottom line. The trouble is\, Bernard doesn’t know which side he is on\, and he soon learns he may not know everything about his family or himself. In Mount Wonder\, two cultures collide and roll into one rip-roaring adventure of love and learning. It is based on John Senior and the Integrated Humanities Program at the University of Kansas that spawned a great educational and cultural movement. Yet Mount Wonder could just as easily be based on today’s pitched battles over the purpose of a university education\, the wisdom of the West and its canon of writers\, and whether a Good life can be lived in a decadent culture.

SUMMARY:Adam and Eve after the Pill: REVISITED
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Mary Eberstadt\, Author and Fran Maier\, Napa Institute Board Member \n  \n5:00PM- Mass \n6:00-7:00PM- Talk \n7:00-8:00PM- Light Reception \n  \nCelebrated author Mary Eberstadt continues her ground-breaking examination of the legacy of the sexual revolution. The book’s predecessor\, Adam and Eve after the Pill (2012)\, dissected the revolution’s microcosmic fallout via its empirical effects on the lives of men\, women\, and children. This follow-on book investigates the revolution’s macrocosmic transformations in three spheres: society\, politics\, and Christianity. It also includes an analysis of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. \nWith unflinching logic\, Eberstadt summarizes the toll on Western society of today’s fractured homes\, feral children\, and social isolates. Empathetic yet precise\, she connects the dots between shrinking\, broken families and rising sexual confusion\, seen most recently in transgenderism and related phenomena. The book also traces the dissolution of the home to signature developments in Western politics\, especially the increase in acrimony\, polarization\, street violence\, and identity politics. The result is an indictment of the turn taken by much of the world following the post-1960s embrace of contraception and the stigmatization of traditional morality. \nThe book’s section on the revolution’s infiltration of the churches is must-reading for anyone concerned about the fate of Western Christianity. In a moment when millions wonder whether the Catholic Church will retreat from age-old moral teachings\, this book demands to be put at the center of discussion. \n  \nCo Sponsored with Napa Institute

SUMMARY:What Cardinal Pell Meant: A Personal Reflection
DESCRIPTION:With the unexpected death of Cardinal George Pell on January 10\, 2023\, the Church lost a champion of orthodoxy and one of this century’s great examples of Christian witness. Pell led a storied ecclesiastical career\, serving as Archbishop of Sydney from 2001 to 2014 and as inaugural Prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy from 2014 to 2019. But it was in his final years that the cardinal faced perhaps his greatest trial—a false conviction\, followed by 404 days of imprisonment\, before his eventual acquittal by Australia’s highest court. \nJoin us as George Weigel\, who was in Rome with Pell during the cardinal’s final week\, reflects on the moral courage of his dear friend. \nCo-sponsored with the Thomas More Society of America

DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Fr. Innocent Smith\, O.P. of St. Mary’s Seminary & University.  \nCO- Sponsored with the Thomistic Institute in DC\, \n“God is the source of all beauty. Through the Incarnation\, the Incarnate Lord has has become visible in order to restore the beauty of humanity and lift us up to the love of the invisible God. This talk will explore the insights of Thomas Aquinas on beauty and its ability to help us to embrace the goodness and truth of God himself.” \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nInnocent Smith\, op is Assistant Professor of Homiletics at St. Mary’s Seminary & University. His research interests are at the intersection of liturgy and theology\, including sacramental theology\, homiletics\, liturgical manuscripts\, ecclesiology\, and sacred music. He is a Roman Catholic priest and a member of Province of St. Joseph of the Order of Preachers. He is presently assigned to the Dominican community of Sts. Philip and James in Baltimore\, MD. \nSmith’s forthcoming monograph\, “Bible Missals and the Dominican Liturgy\,” focuses on medieval bibles which contain liturgical texts for the celebration of the Mass. The liturgical selections contained in bible missals give precious insight into both the development of the celebration of the liturgy as well as the processes of customization and design of medieval bibles. Bible missals present a fascinating example of the interpenetration of memory and enactment\, enabling the celebration of the mysteries articulated in the biblical text.
