This course is a continuation of Latin beyond Year I. We will begin with readings and grammar review from the later part of Collins’ Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin and then we will move on to include readings of Theological and Liturgical texts tailored to the needs of the class.

The online space for editors of Mundelein Seminary's magazine, The Bridge.

A study of the basic principles that allow us to understand our world: causality, time, space, matter/form. The relationship of science and faith from a philosophical viewpoint.

This course will explore the works of five of the most important and influential Christian theologians of the twentieth century: Barth, Tillich, von Balthasar, Rahner, and Lonergan. We will read major texts of each of these figures, concentrating on questions of theological method, the relationship between religion and culture, the knowability of God, the rapport between philosophy and faith, theological anthropology and the centrality of Christ.

The purpose of this course is to deepen students’ understanding of the foundations of Catholic moral theology and then engage some practical issues. Part one explores the biblical foundations of moral theology and virtue as a path to holiness. Part two discusses the dignity of the human person and its practical implications for human life in society. Topics to be discussed include: war and peace; poverty and wealth; private property and the free market; international development and the environment; ethical issues in farming and agriculture; and the life issues of abortion and capital punishment.
