  • The Church and Science in the Writing of Pius XII and Saint John Paul II
    In this session, we will consider the nature of the relationship of the Church to science using the key document by Pope Pius XII that has the ominous title, “Concerning Some False Opinions Threatening to Undermine The Foundations of Catholic Doctrine”  (Humane Generis).  In this work, the Pope lays out the vital role that the Church plays in the world and in the sciences through her moral guidance and teaching.  Among other topics, he lays out the Church’s official view of evolution and polygenism.  You can peruse a copy of the document here.Pope St. John Paul II returns to the issues raised in Humane Generis and clarifies the Church’s relationship to science in his famous speech to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences “On Evolution.”  You can read the short speech here.This presentation will be a fascinating consideration of the Church’s actual teaching on the origins of our species.  It will be of particular interest to anyone who is interested in science or works in a scientific related field. Our guest presenter for the evening will be Dr. Michael Goodrich, a member of St. Stephen’s parish and a theoretical physicist.Support the show

About Mystagogy

In a tradition that dates back to the first centuries of Christianity, many newly initiated Christians were prepared for lives of faith through a formation with spiritual, liturgical, and communitarian dimensions. This period of formation was called mystagogy, a word which, in Greek, means "leading through the mysteries." Our program of mystagogy will have four primary goals: 1) To break open Magisterial teaching on the lay state (selections from Vatican II as well as letters/encyclicals from recent popes) as well as classic spiritual texts to build a thoughtful, practical devotional life; 2) To introduce the various spiritual charisms in the Church (i.e. Dominican, Carmelite, Franciscan, Salesian, etc.) so that they may develop a personal program of spirituality rooted in the uniquely Catholic legacy; 3) To deepen the prayer life through study, communal prayer, the practice of meditation, Mass, and the Liturgy of the Hours; and 4) To establish a fully Catholic life and mission, including a formation in the art of the Church, the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, and the commitment to a specific personal work of service.
