Abrahamic Family Fireside Chat

Time: Wed Jan 24, 2024, 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Location: Coleman-Morse Lounge

Abrahamic Family Fireside Chat

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are known as the “Abrahamic Family” of faiths. They are typically taught together as the world’s major monotheistic traditions. Join three faculty members—Jewish, Christian, and Muslim—for an informal yet engaged fireside chat about all things: religion & theology, love & war, family & global politics. This is a time of deep conflict and tension. Universities must be places for dialogue across our many differences. The format for our conversation will be open Q/A and discussion. There will be no prepared remarks. We will not attempt to present a single vision of theology and politics.

Liberal Democracy & the Catholic Church in a Change of Era

Location: Hesburgh Center for International Studies, Auditorium

Mcgreevy Mcaleese Talk

What is the relevance of the Catholic Church amidst a rapidly changing global order? John McGreevy, provost of Notre Dame, concludes his latest book with echoes of a shadow match within the Church mirroring the geopolitical challenge: “Gauging what requires central control and what requires decentralized experimentation is not easy.” The synodal process led by Pope Francis—culminating in a “Synod on Synodality this past October—has generated hope for some that positive change is coming, but apprehension for others that the Church is losing its moral compass, amidst polarizing culture wars. Mary McAleese, a devout Catholic and world leader, has attempted to find a balance by advocating for progressive reforms from the margins while drawing on the mechanism of the synod established by the center. Join us for this exciting conversation between Mary and John, moderated by global religion expert and dean of the Keough School, Scott Appleby.

In his book that won the Nasr Book Prize this year, Anthony Annett presents a history of Catholic social teaching, arguing in favor of its relevance for creating a more just economy.
