SUMMARY:Resurrection on Trial
DESCRIPTION:Join attorney and law professor Peter Martino for a presentation of his book\, Resurrection on Trial: A Judicial Inquiry into the Christian Claim of the Resurrection of Jesus on Thursday\, October 8\, 2026 at 6:00 PM EDT. Resurrection on Trial examines the Resurrection through a distinctive legal framework: it treats the historical evidence as an appellate record and asks what would happen if the case for the Resurrection came before the U.S. Supreme Court. The question is not whether belief in the Resurrection is spiritually meaningful\, but whether the conclusion that Jesus rose from the dead is supported by the evidence under the standards courts actually apply. The book carries endorsements from Scott Hahn\, George Weigel\, Michael Licona\, and Bishop Joseph Coffey. \nRegister to attend either in-person and virtually through a livestream. Resurrection on Trial will be available for purchase at the CIC bookstore. \n10/08/26 Schedule:\n\n5:45 pm: Doors open for registrant check-in\n6:00 pm: “Resurrection on Trial” with Peter Martino (this portion of the evening will be offered both in-person and virtually)\n7:00 pm: Booksigning and light happy hour social\n8:00 pm: Evening Concludes\n\nRSVP today!

SUMMARY:Not to Caesar but to Peter
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join author William Haun for the launch of his book\, Not to Caesar but to Peter: Remembering why the Catholic Church is a perfect society\, on Wednesday\, October 14 at 6:00 PM EDT. This program will be offered both in-person at the CIC and virtually through a YouTube livestream. \nAbout the Not to Caesar but to Peter:\nDrawing on the Catholic Church’s self-understanding as a complete\, self-sufficient (in the Aristotelian sense\, “perfect”) society\, William Haun’s new book explains how the Catholic Church’s claimed legal authority provides a stable basis for religious liberty in civil law. If the Church were to remember this traditional claim of her legal authority\, she could improve U.S. law’s commitment to protecting religious liberty for religious institutions and communities. In so doing\, the Church can both grow in American life and\, by being who she truly is\, respond to common misunderstandings about the proper relationship between the Catholic Church and the state that threaten her presence in public life—ranging from those who see the Church as just another social club in civil society\, to those who treat the Church as an instrument of power that should be “integrated” with the state “from within.” \nNot to Caesar but the Peter will be on sale at the CIC bookstore in October. \n10/14/2026 Schedule:\n\n5:45 pm: Doors open for registrant check-in\n6:00 pm: William Haun presents “Not to Caesar but to Peter” (this portion of the evening will be offered both in-person and virtually via a livestream)\n7:00 pm: Booksigning and a light happy hour social\n8:00 pm: Evening Concludes\n\nRSVP today!

A 9:00 AM family Mass will be offered as well\, followed by a snack time for the children and a coffee break for moms and dads. \nWe will be joined by best-selling author\, Matthew Mehan\, who will kick the morning off with a reading and lesson of his The American Book of Fables. Mr. Mehan will also display John Folley’s beautiful watercolor paintings that tell the tale. \nThe presentation will be followed by the CIC’s Family Day Book Party with crafts\, food\, and fun. During the party\, parents will also have a special opportunity to buy the book and get it signed by the author. \nOn this All Hallows Eve\, your kid(s) are invited to wear their Halloween costumes—or dress up as their favorite Saint or come in an outfit with and Americana theme. \nThe CIC is located at 1501 K Street\, NW\, Suite 175\, Washington\, DC 20005.

Each tale—crafted in the rhythms of classic verse and prose—reveals the joyful and hard-won harmony between faith\, virtue\, and freedom\, showing how the gifts and laws of nature and nature’s God can continue to guide and free the hearts of all Americans in their pursuit of happiness. \n \nWith sections “for Littles\, Middles\, and Bigs\,” the book speaks to all ages. The youngest will delight in playful rhymes; older children will ponder and laugh with amusing moral tales; adults will savor Mehan’s rich wit\, historical wonder\, and layered reflections on the human heart. Together\, the book will help Americans to recapture that wit and wisdom\, that gratitude and self-government\, which are the foundations of both a good life and a great republic. \n \nFeaturing luminous realist-impressionist illustrations by acclaimed painter John Folley—each an homage to American art\, history\, and landscape—this volume is both a moral treasury and a work of beauty. \nFor families seeking to renew their love for nature\, neighbor\, God\, and country\, The American Book of Fables is more than a book—it is a keepsake\, a handbook of liberty\, and a celebration of the providence and the inspired generations that shaped America and that still calls her—and us—to greatness today. \n \n \nView this trailer of the book…
