SUMMARY:The Unbroken Thread: Discovering the Wisdom of Tradition in an Age of Chaos
DESCRIPTION:We’ve pursued and achieved the modern dream of defining ourselves—but at what cost? Sohrab Ahmari\, New York Post op-ed editor\, makes a compelling case for seeking the inherited traditions and ideals that give our lives meaning.\n \nThis event is open to the public and hosted both in-person and online for free. Registration is required. If you plan to attend in-person at the CIC\, please review our COVID guidelines here. \nAbout the book:\n“Ahmari’s tour de force makes tradition astonishingly vivid and relevant for the here and now.”—Rod Dreher\, bestselling author of Live Not by Lies and The Benedict Option \nAs a young father and a self-proclaimed “radically assimilated immigrant\,” opinion editor Sohrab Ahmari realized that when it comes to shaping his young son’s moral fiber\, today’s America comes up short. For millennia\, the world’s great ethical and religious traditions taught that true happiness lies in pursuing virtue and accepting limits. But now\, unbound from these stubborn traditions\, we are free to choose whichever way of life we think is most optimal—or\, more often than not\, merely the easiest. All that remains are the fickle desires that a wealthy\, technologically advanced society is equipped to fulfill. \nThe result is a society riven by deep conflict and individual lives that\, for all their apparent freedom\, are marked by alienation and stark unhappiness. \nIn response to this crisis\, Ahmari offers twelve questions for us to grapple with—twelve timeless\, fundamental queries that challenge our modern certainties. Among them: Is God reasonable? What is freedom for? What do we owe our parents\, our bodies\, one another? Exploring each question through the life and ideas of great thinkers\, from Saint Augustine to Howard Thurman and from Abraham Joshua Heschel to Andrea Dworkin\, Ahmari invites us to examine the hidden assumptions that drive our behavior and\, in so doing\, to live more humanely in a world that has lost its way.

SUMMARY:Fighting for Life: Becoming a Force for Change in a Wounded World
DESCRIPTION:With raw and intimate stories from both her personal life and public activism\, Lila Rose\, the founder of Live Action and the face of the millennial pro-life movement\, presents a guidebook for becoming a force for good in a broken world. \nAbout the book:\nThis book will show you how to: \n\nunderstand your own talents and wounds so you can build a solid foundation as you fight for change;\novercome insecurities and imposter syndrome and become a leader through practice;\nfind inner courage and confidence in the face of obstacles and criticism; and\nbounce back from mistakes to continually grow and make a long-lasting impact.\n\nDo you see the world’s pain and injustice and wish you could do something about it? Do you want to make a difference but don’t know where to begin? \nAs a fifteen-year-old girl\, Lila Rose started Live Action in her family’s living room out of a deep passion to defend the rights of the most vulnerable among us and to expose the abortion industry. In the sixteen years since\, she has built the largest and most engaged online following in the pro-life movement\, addressed members of the European Parliament and the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women\, and been named as one of the National Journal‘s “25 most Influential Washington Women Under 35.” Now she is opening up her heart and drawing on her experiences to speak to all those who want to be a force for change but need guidance on how to start. Lila guides readers from the beginning thoughts of\, How can I help? to\, Yes\, I can be a force for good\, and I can start today\, providing a much-needed handbook on how to truly make a difference in today’s world.

SUMMARY:The New Protest Art: Why Our Culture Needs Public Sacred Art
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday April 29th at 6:00pm ET\, we invite you to join us for an in-person conversation\, virtual studio tour and artwork unveiling with painter Andrew de Sa.  \nWe are excited to unveil a monumental new work of art\, The Salvation Triptych by Andrew de Sa. This larger than life series of paintings \, which will be displayed for a time at the Catholic Information Center\, aims to draw the viewer into the cosmic story of Christianity. In addition to giving us a virtual tour of his studio\, the artist will lead a conversation on the mind-shaping power of images and the exciting role that artists play in evangelizing a society increasingly unfamiliar with the Christian story.  \nThe event was co-sponsored by Studio de Sa\, a family run sacred art and music studio.

SUMMARY:Under Siege: No Finer Time to be a Faithful Catholic
DESCRIPTION:Austin Ruse carefully examines how the anti-Christian forces gained power over every elite institution in America. He exposes their plans for the future and issues an authoritative call to arms\, brilliantly arguing that there is no finer time to be a faithful Catholic. \nThe event is moderated by our Panula Chair in Christian Culture\, Mary Eberstadt. \nThis event is open to the public and hosted both in-person and online for free. Registration is required. If you plan to attend in-person at the CIC\, please review our COVID guidelines here. \nAbout the book:\n“With Ruse’s signature wit\, ‘Under Siege’ reveals the good\, the bad\, and the downright ugly\, but offers a fresh vantage point to embrace our challenges with joy and deep confidence in God\, come what may.”–Carrie Gress\, Author of ‘The Anti-Mary Exposed’ and ‘Theology of Home’ \nDecades as a Christian leader — most notably at the U.N. as president of the Center for Family & Human Rights — have earned writer Austin Ruse\, once a Washington liberal with little faith\, his share of defeats and triumphs. Perhaps most valuably\, he has intuited keen tactical insights from his confrontations with the dark side of human nature. You come away from this groundbreaking book with the sense that Ruse knows the enemy better than the enemy knows himself. \nRuse argues that each of us is called specifically to this battle and he provides a roadmap for fighting the major challenges American Christians now face. He identifies the vulnerabilities of the Leftists who appear so dominant today\, and he pinpoints Catholicism’s most potent sources of resistance. \nMore than anything\, Ruse argues that\, as dark as these days seem to be\, future generations will look upon this generation with envy that they could not have been here with us in these dangerous times when everything seems so lost. \nRuse lays it all out in these simple\, balanced pages. The best days could be ahead for us\, but only if we accept — and stick to — this plan to rebuild Christendom. \n*Event has been rescheduled from April 27th to April 26th.

SUMMARY:Mary's Voice in the Gospel According to John: A New Translation with Commentary
DESCRIPTION:The Gospel according to John has always been recognized as different from the “synoptic” accounts of Matthew\, Mark\, and Luke. But what explains the difference? On Wednesday\, April 21st at 6:00pm ET\, we invite you to join us for an in-person conversation with Michael Pakaluk\, professor of ethics and social philosophy in the Busch School of Business. Dr. Pakaluk will discuss his new book\, Mary’s Voice in the Gospel according to John\, and reveals the subtle but powerful influence of the Mother of Jesus on the fourth Gospel. \nThis event is open to the public and hosted both in-person and online for free. Registration is required. If you plan to attend in-person at the CIC\, please review our COVID guidelines here. \nAbout the book:\nIn this new translation and verse-by-verse commentary\, Michael Pakaluk suggests an answer and unlocks a two thousand-year-old mystery. Mary’s Voice in the Gospel according to John reveals the subtle but powerful influence of the Mother of Jesus on the fourth Gospel. \nIn his dying words\, Jesus committed his Mother to the care of John\, the beloved disciple\, who “from that hour . . . took her into his own home.” Pakaluk draws out the implications of that detail\, which have been overlooked for centuries. \nIn Mary’s remaining years on earth\, what would she and John have talked about? Surely no subject was as close to their hearts as the words and deeds of Jesus. Mary’s unique perspective and intimate knowledge of her Son must have shaped the account of Jesus’ life that John would eventually compose. \nWith the same scholarship\, imagination\, and fidelity that he applied to Mark’s Gospel in The Memoirs of St. Peter\, Pakaluk brings out the voice of Mary in John’s\, from the famous prologue about the Incarnation of the Word to the Evangelist’s closing avowal of the reliability of his account. \nThis remarkably fresh translation and commentary will deepen your understanding of the most sublime book of the New Testament.

SUMMARY:Gender Ideology and The Equality Act: How to Respond with Courage\, Truth\, and Love
DESCRIPTION:The Equality Act\, which has now passed through the U.S. House of Representatives and awaits a vote in the U.S. Senate\, threatens to fundamentally transform American anti-discrimination laws while providing little by way of religious exemption. As “trans-rights” language continues to sweep through corporations\, media\, and schools\, Catholics have been left scrambling for resources on how to respond with truth and love. We are delighted to host John McCormack\, Washington correspondent and fellow at National Review Institute\, and Mary Hasson\, Kate O’Beirne Fellow in Catholic Studies at the Ethics and Public Policy Center\, for a virtual discussion on the political implications of the Equality Act and to highlight the Person & Identity Project\, a new web resource to help parents\, clergy\, and parochial school teachers and administrators present the truth of the human person with courage and compassion. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. Please submit questions in advance to Rosemary at rosemary.eldridge@cicdc.org. \n

SUMMARY:Christ Versus Satan in Our Daily Lives: The Cosmic Struggle Between Good and Evil
DESCRIPTION:Spiritual writer\, theologian\, and philosopher Jesuit Fr. Robert Spitzer tackles the topic of recognizing and overcoming spiritual evil. His focus is the human heart. His goal: our moral and spiritual transformation\, which leads to true peace and genuine happiness. \nAbout the book:\nThe book is divided into two main parts: the realities of God’s goodness and of spiritual evil\, and recognizing and overcoming diabolical tactics\, which range from temptation and deception to the Deadly Sins. \nFather Spitzer shows readers how to experience God’s peace even during times of suffering and persecution. He examines the basics of the spiritual life and Christian mysticism\, including the contemplative dimension. He explains the purgative\, illuminative\, and unitive aspects of spirituality\, as well as the Lord’s consolation and the passive Dark Night of the Spirit. \nFather Spitzer provides the biblical and theological background of Jesus’ victory over Satan. The author also explores the reality of the Devil\, including extraordinary manifestations of diabolic activity such as possession. He recalls the true story of the famous possession case on which the novel and film The Exorcist were based. \nIn the final sections of the book the author explains: \nhow diabolical spiritual forces operatehow temptation works\, and what to do to defeat itthe”deadly sins” and how to overcome them

SUMMARY:America on Trial: A Defense of the Founding
DESCRIPTION:Robert Reilly\, Director of the Westminster Institute\, discusses his new book “America on Trial: A Defense of the Founding.” During his lecture Reilly will focuses on the tradition of “right reason\,” that is\, the metaphysical\, epistemological\, anthropological\, and theological roots of constitutional government. He will reintroduces listeners to ideas about the primacy of reason over will\, universal truth\, natural law\, and monotheism. \nAbout the book:\nThe Founding of the American Republic is on trial. Critics say it was a poison pill with a time-release formula; we are its victims. Its principles are responsible for the country’s moral and social disintegration because they were based on the Enlightenment falsehood of radical individual autonomy. \nIn this well-researched book\, Robert Reilly declares: not guilty. To prove his case\, he traces the lineage of the ideas that made the United States\, and its ordered liberty\, possible. These concepts were extraordinary when they first burst upon the ancient world: the Judaic oneness of God\, who creates ex nihilo and imprints his image on man; the Greek rational order of the world based upon the Reason behind it; and the Christian arrival of that Reason (Logos) incarnate in Christ. These may seem a long way from the American Founding\, but Reilly argues that they are\, in fact\, its bedrock. Combined\, they mandated the exercise of both freedom and reason. \nThese concepts were further developed by thinkers in the Middle Ages\, who formulated the basic principles of constitutional rule. Why were they later rejected by those claiming the right to absolute rule\, then reclaimed by the American Founders\, only to be rejected again today? Reilly reveals the underlying drama: the conflict of might makes right versus right makes might. America’s decline\, he claims\, is not to be discovered in the Founding principles\, but in their disavowal.

SUMMARY:Columbus and the Crisis of the West
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Robert Royal\, Catholic author and the President of the Faith & Reason Institute\, carefully examines the mind and motives of Christopher Columbus and his legacy. \nAbout the book:\nAfter decades of politically charged controversy\, the reputation and standing of Christopher Columbus lies battered beneath mountains of misjudgments and distortions. The surge of historical revisionism now ravaging the legendary explorer insists that his daring adventures brought only tragic consequences: disease\, death\, subjugation of native peoples\, incitement of the African slave trade\, destruction of the environment\, and other horrors. \nBut is this a legitimate assessment of Europe’s inevitable western expansion? \nIn Columbus and the Crisis of the West\, Dr. Robert Royal carefully examines the mind and motives of Christopher Columbus\, distinguishing him as the greatest explorer of his age\, whose courage and vision extended Christian Europe and inspired the American spirit. \nYet you won’t find here a full-throated defense of Christopher Columbus. Rather\, Dr. Royal examines what actually happened in the decades following 1492\, when two widely divergent cultures met and mingled. Refusing to ignore or underplay the tragedies of America’s origins\, Royal masterfully places these events in historical context\, protecting them from the contemporary biases that are moving forward at ramming speed to crush fragile truths. \nIn these pages you’ll explore Columbus’s spirituality and the apocalyptic vision that guided him\, as well as the disparate ways in which Puritans and Catholics viewed and approached the indigenous peoples. You’ll also discover what life was really like for them\, the truth about Indian environmentalism\, the essence of the noble savage\, and the soundness of the claim that the native peoples were innocents living in harmony with nature. \nHere is the book that cuts through the fashionable pieties of our time by boldly refuting the most popular indictments of Columbus and early America. Finally\, a serious classical scholar who confronts with power the crusading revisionist historians who are leveraging the Native American conquest in an effort to defile\, dishonor\, and ultimately upend Western civilization.

SUMMARY:Reframing End-of-life Care During COVID
DESCRIPTION:We Need a Revolution of Love in End-of-Life Care \nOver the last 10 months\, we have seen so much death. And we’ve seen the heightened dangers elderly Americans face during the Coronavirus pandemic. Their vulnerabilities are made worse by ideologies that would cast them aside as inconvenient – even while we have made sacrifices to protect life\, at the same time we have seen what Pope Francis calls our throwaway society on display. Government orders even suggest someone might have thought seniors in nursing homes were necessary casualties of the pandemic. We must do better. And while we hail frontlines workers who have made tremendous sacrifices\, we have a responsibility to do our best to reverence their lives until the natural end – as with all lives. \nSr. Constance Veit\, LSP\, is a Little Sister of the Poor. The Little Sisters welcome the elderly poor into their homes with loving care\, seeing each one as Christ Himself. \nCharles Camosy has been a foremost watchdog in advocating for the elderly. Associate professor of theological and social ethics at Fordham University\, Camosy is author of Resisting Throwaway Culture: How a Consistent Life Ethic Can Unite a Fractured People. \nThis event is moderated by Kathryn Jean Lopez.

SUMMARY:Division\, Decadence\, and Renewal
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, January 22nd in partnership with The Trinity Forum\, The Institute for Human Ecology\, and the Harvard Christian Alumni Society\, we are delighted to welcome author and New York Times columnist Ross Douthat. \nIn Douthat’s book\, The Decadent Society\, he provides an enlightening diagnosis of our modern condition which\, he says\, has been characterized by decadence. Douthat argues that many of today’s discontents and derangements reflect a sense of futility and disappointment—a feeling that the future is not what was promised. \nAlmost a year after its original publication\, we are keen to hear from Ross on what the events of the past year have revealed about our condition and how we might serve as agents of renewal in a divisive and decadent time. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. Once you register\, you will receive a confirmation email containing a Zoom invite link\, which will be unique to you.

SUMMARY:The Future of Christian Marriage
DESCRIPTION:Marriage has come a long way since biblical times. Women are no longer property\, and practices like polygamy have long been rejected. The world is wealthier\, healthier\, and more able to find and form relationships than ever. So why are Christian congregations doing more burying than marrying today? Explanations for the recession in marriage range from the mathematical–more women in church than men–to the economic\, and from the availability of sex to progressive politics. But perhaps marriage hasn’t really changed at all. Instead\, there is simply less interest in marriage in an era marked by technology\, gender equality\, and secularization. \nMark Regnerus discusses his new book and explores how today’s Christians find a mate within a faith that esteems marriage but in a world that increasingly yawns at it. His book draws on in-depth interviews with nearly two hundred young-adult Christians from the United States\, Mexico\, Spain\, Poland\, Russia\, Lebanon\, and Nigeria\, in order to understand the state of matrimony in global Christian circles today. \nRegnerus finds that marriage has become less of a foundation for a couple to build upon and more of a capstone. Meeting increasingly high expectations of marriage is difficult\, though\, in a free market whose logic reaches deep into the home today. The result is endemic uncertainty\, slowing relationship maturation\, and stalling marriage. But plenty of Christians innovate\, resist\, and wed\, and this book argues that the future of marriage will be a religious one.

SUMMARY:The Liturgical Year at Home: A Guide for the Intentional Consumer
DESCRIPTION:We apologize for the last minute change in plans\, but due to unforeseen circumstances we have to postpone our December 3rd event “The Liturgical Year at Home: A Guide for the Intentional Consumer.”  We will share the panelist’s Christmas gift guide here shortly\, so keep an eye out.\nOn any given day it is difficult to not get caught up in our consumerist culture. It can be even harder to avoid during Christmas when arguably the glorification of buying and selling is at its peak. As Catholics we understand that Christmas is so much more than gifts. It is a time of penance\, joyous anticipation\, and preparation for the great Christmas feast. This does not mean that Christians should not participate in the marketplace. It should\, however\, encourage us to reflect on how we participate and our overall attitude towards material goods and how we use them. \nIn this spirit\, we have put together a panel that will explore what it means to live liturgically\, how we can be more intentional consumers\, and why a theology of the home matters. Our panelist will also provide a gift guide full of their favorite products that are not only beautiful and intentional but Christ centered. \n

SUMMARY:Resolved: UBI Meets the Catholic Demand for a Just Wage
DESCRIPTION:One of the great advantages of Catholic social teaching is that it is normally stated in general terms of values\, principles and goals\, not specific programs. It is the reason that Catholic social teaching doesn’t fit into either political party’s platform and why Catholics of good standing in the Church can exercise prudential judgement and come to different conclusions.  \nAs Catholics we are called to honor the human dignity of each person we encounter and encouraged to approach conversations with civility\, clarity\, and compassion. In this spirit\, we invite you to join us as Dr. Ward and Dr. Pakaluk debate whether a universal basic income (UBI) aligns with Catholic social teaching’s call for a just wage. \nDr. Ward will defend the resolution and Dr. Pakaluk will oppose the resolution. IHE Executive Director Joseph Capizzi will moderate this Oxford-style debate. \nSources for Affirmative:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://uscatholic.org/articles/202004/does-catholic-social-teaching-support-a-universal-basic-income/\n\nhttps://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/responses/for-catholic-social-thought-basic-income-gets-work-wealth-and-family-right\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSources for Negative:\n\n\n\n\nWyscinski\, Stepan Cardinal. 1995. All You Who Labor: Work and the Sanctification of Daily Life.

SUMMARY:What It Means to Be Human: The Case for the Body in Public Bioethics
DESCRIPTION:A leading expert on public bioethics advocates for a new conception of human identity in American law and policy. \nThe natural limits of the human body make us vulnerable and therefore dependent\, throughout our lives\, on others. Yet American law and policy disregard these stubborn facts\, with statutes and judicial decisions that presume people to be autonomous\, defined by their capacity to choose. As legal scholar O. Carter Snead points out\, this individualistic ideology captures important truths about human freedom\, but it also means that we have no obligations to each other unless we actively\, voluntarily embrace them. Under such circumstances\, the neediest must rely on charitable care. When it is not forthcoming\, law and policy cannot adequately respond. \nWhat It Means to Be Human makes the case for a new paradigm\, one that better represents the gifts and challenges of being human. Inspired by the insights of Alasdair MacIntyre and Charles Taylor\, Snead proposes a vision of human identity and flourishing that supports those who are profoundly vulnerable and dependent—children\, the disabled\, and the elderly. To show how such a vision would affect law and policy\, he addresses three complex issues in bioethics: abortion\, assisted reproductive technology\, and end-of-life decisions. Avoiding typical dichotomies of conservative-versus-liberal and secular-versus-religious\, Snead recasts debates over these issues and situates them within his framework of embodiment and dependence. He concludes that\, if the law is built on premises that reflect the fully lived reality of life\, it will provide support for the vulnerable\, including the unborn\, mothers\, families\, and those nearing the end of their lives. In this way\, he argues\, policy can ensure that people have the care they need in order to thrive. \nIn this provocative and consequential book\, Snead rethinks how the law represents human experiences so that it might govern more wisely\, justly\, and humanely.

SUMMARY:Foster Care: An Essential Call
DESCRIPTION:Foster care is at the heart of Christian life\, and yet it can often be at the peripheries of our public conversations and even parish life. At a time when the need for foster parents is on the increase\, as so many anxieties and addictions rise to the service in this pandemic\, how can we get more involved? How can we support those who need support? How can we make sure children are in safe and stable homes? And why is a Supreme Court case in the fall critical to this all? \nOur speakers will be Melissa Buck\, a foster and adoptive mother whose court case was argued by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty\, Andrea Picciotti-Bayer\, legal advisor & senior fellow at the Catholic Association (who has written an amicus brief on the Philadelphia adoption case before the Supreme Court)\, and Sarah Zagorski\, former foster child and activist. \nOur conversation is moderated by Kathryn Jean Lopez\, senior fellow at the National Review Institute and editor-at-large at National Review.

It is an elegant word\, at once both simple and far-reaching.

It is where we find the eternal in the everyday. \nBut the Home has been neglected. To millions of women today\, there is nothing worse than being a “homemaker.” If only they knew the supreme value (and reward) of giving loved ones a place to call Home. \nWhether you live in a sprawling estate or a humble dwelling\, whether alone or with a crowd\, this is far more than a book of beautiful photos and great décor ideas. You will also learn how to create a deeper sense of the divine through: \n\nCreating a welcoming environment that starts with your Door\nFostering a sense of remembrance through images\, scents\, and activities that will keep your family recollecting joy\, family\, and Christ\nMaking your home a place for joyful gatherings and spiritual growth through an emphasis on light\nPrioritizing family dinners to feed the body and the soul\nOpening up your Home to those around you\, spreading the joy and peace of Christ with your hospitality\nAnd much more. . .
