Catholic 201: The Moral Life & Evangelization

When a Catholic received the sacrament of Confirmation, they move from being a member of the Church to being a witness for Christ. St. John Paul II challenges us to be more than mere members but rather to be witnesses through our lives so that, by living the moral life, we can bring others to Christ Jesus.

Catholic 201: Conscience & the Cross

“Lest the Cross Be Emptied…”

This partial quote from St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians is the starting point for this lecture during Holy Week. Ultimately, the moral life comes down to this commitment which St. Paul makes to his fellow Christians, a commitment founded upon his love of Jesus. We’ll look at how St. John Paul II uses this passage to make his argument for how we ought to live.

Catholic 201: Conscience & Truth

We’ve finally come to the question of conscience and the moral life. Often portrayed as a good angel on one shoulder vs. a bad angel on the other, our conscience is sacred. But is it the end-all-be-all of the moral life? We’ll talk about contemporary theories and what the Church’s wisest have to say.

Catholic 201: JPII’s Veritatis Splendor

We’re going to take a break from the heaviness of virtues and such and talk about the document that inspired this class, Veritatis Splendor. We want to look at why it was written, what Pope John Paul II was trying to do with it, how it was received, and why it matters today.

Catholic 201: Cardinal Virtues Part 2

Justice is the fourth of the cardinal virtues we’ll discuss, and it requires its own session because it is referenced the most and perhaps the most misunderstood of the four. So what is the classic definition of justice and how ought we apply it from the Christian perspective?
