ALT "What is Catholic Culture?" by Jennifer Newsome Martin, director of the de Nicola Center. In this lecture, Martin will consider—alongside such theological interlocutors as St. John Henry Newman, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Pope Benedict XVI, Remi Brague, and others—the paradoxical origins of a Catholic culture rooted in such non-Catholic cultures as Athens and Jerusalem. The lecture aims not only to characterize the phenomenon of Catholic culture writ large as having to do with the human desire for God and the welcoming of all that is proper to the life of the human being, but also to articulate the relationship between ethics and culture—and, put more strongly, an ethics of culture—specifically within the context of liberal arts education. This lecture is sponsored by the John C. Schuster Memorial Fund. 5:15 p.m., Tuesday, September 10, 2024. McKenna Hall 215/216 at the University of Notre Dame. Reception to follow.
