E-SÉMINAIRE : LA THÉOLOGIE TRINITAIRE (E-SEMINAR: TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY)
Du 17 avril au 12 juin 2023
Code du cours: SEM030
Professeur : Ma Jacques Fournier
Course Code: SEM030
TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN AND THE NEW TESTAMENT
Faith in the One God runs through the whole Bible (Dt 6,4-9; 2Sm 7,22; 1R 8,60; Is 44,6-8; 45,5-6.14,22; 48,10-12…). It is of course taken up by Jesus himself (Mk 12:28-34 and parallels) and the authors of the New Testament (Jn 5:44; 17:3; Rom 3:30; 16:27; Gal 3:20; 1Cor 8:4; 1Tm 1:17; 2:3b-6)…
But on the mountain of the Transfiguration, the light of the Son dazzled St. John, the voice of the Father reassured him and in his Gospel, he will lead us into the Mystery of this eternal Relationship that was manifested in Jesus, the Christ, between the Son of God and his Father… And such is the heart of his discovery, exposed from the first line of his work: “the Word”, the Son, the Word of the Father, “is God”, and before all “beginning”, he is “near God” the Father, turned “towards” Him, living in relationship with Him… We will see to what extent our Nicene Constantinopolitan Creed is present in this Gospel of John, in his Letters but also in the works of St. Luke and St. Paul.
With them, we will also discover the foundations of the Revelation of the Holy Spirit, also true God, and we will see, especially with St. John, what is his work today towards every man of good will…

E-SEMINAR: LEARNING TO DWELL
2023-04-17 09:00 - 2023-06-12 17:00 (Europe/Paris)
E-SEMINAR: LEARNING TO DWELL
by Jaco Kruger
From 17th April to 12th June 2023
Course code: SEM84
DESCRIPTION
The fundamental thesis underlying this seminar is that there exists a kind of fittingness – even stronger, an affinity – between philosophy and ecology that invites us to think of these two disciplines together and in relation. Philosophy is occupied with the “big questions” of life and existence; its approach is often speculative and generalizing. Philosophy is the ongoing attempt to see the biggest picture, and to integrate all of experience into such a big picture. In this sense the Greek root word from which the word ecology stems is very appropriate: oikos – the house, the household, the dwelling place. Philosophy is about “learning to dwell,” to use a formulation of Martin Heidegger. What does it mean to be at home in the world? How should humans be at home in the world? And how should we live in our common home? Ecology, for its part, has since the middle of the 20th century as a discipline moved closer and closer to the life sciences and the natural sciences. But the fundamental philosophical presuppositions of ecology remain an open question. And the environmental catastrophe that is slowly unfolding in the 21st century affirms the intuition that the worldviews and philosophical presuppositions of the late-capitalist world must urgently be revisited. Making use of resources from process philosophy and from the work of Martin Heidegger, this seminar contributes to the discussion surrounding the characteristics of an integral ecology (Laudato Sí) by attempting an ecological introduction to philosophy.
OBJECTIVES
To introduce philosophy as the human search for a home in the world
To highlight the philosophical roots of the current ecological crisis
To contribute to the philosophical foundations of integral ecology as called for in the papal encyclical, Laudato Sí

The St. John Paul II Institute of Culture is an interdisciplinary scientific and didactic institution established at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) in Rome on the centenary of the birth of John Paul II. The mission of the Institute is to reflect on the most important problems of the contemporary Church and the world inspired by the life and thought of St. John Paul II.
Thus, the Institute’s aim is not only to study the achievements of the Great Pope, but also to think with him about the most important issues of spiritual culture, e.g. solidarity, mercy, Christian art, the place of the Church in the modern world or the spiritual crisis of Europe.
The Institute is co-managed by the Saint Nicholas Foundation (publisher of Teologia Polityczna) and funded entirely by private donors from Poland. We warmly invite you to join their ranks!

CALL FOR PAPERS – The Concept of “Ius” in Thomas Aquinas
2023-04-21 08:30 - 2023-04-22 17:00 (Europe/Rome)
The Concept of Ius in Thomas Aquinas
CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline: 15 December 2022
Language: English and Italian
Aims of the Conference
The Conference intends to explore the Thomistic concept of ius as it is presented in Thomas Aquinas’s treatise on ius and iustitia in the Secunda Secundae of the Summa Theologiae, that is, as the object of the virtue of justice and as the just thing itself (ipsa res iusta). This analysis takes into consideration the entirety of Aquinas’s account of lex from the Prima Secundae of the Summa Theologiae, as this account is interrelated with his understanding of lex as a ratio of ius (S. Th. II-II, q. 57, a. 1, ad 2). The Conference also aims to analyze the inherent connection between justice which has ius as its object—what might be called a juridical aspect of iustitia—and broader issues of the salvific and moral aspects of justice.
To complete this analysis, it is necessary to inquire into Aquinas’s historical and doctrinal sources, the relevant texts in which he elaborates his account of ius, justice, and lex, as well as the reception of his juridical thought down the centuries until the present day. To this end, the Conference will also reflect on contemporary assessments of the tension between the objective and subjective meanings of ius both in Aquinas’s thought and in the Thomistic tradition. In addition, the Thomistic foundations of the notion of ius and of the virtue of justice will be explored, together with research into the interconnectedness between justice, the concept of good, and practical reasonableness.
The Conference aims to show how the analysis of the Thomistic concept of ius, rather than being only of historical interest, may prove to be fruitful for present-day issues in legal theory, as well as for a dialogue with contemporary legal-philosophical conceptions of the juridical phenomenon, law, and rights. While recognizing the relevance of this fruitfulness for the life of law at all levels of research, the Conference highlights the particular relevance of the Thomistic vision of ius for the social teaching of the Catholic Church and for canon law.

JP2 Lectures // Fr. Thierry-Dominique Humbrecht O.P.: Le statut de la métaphysique chez Thomas d’Aquin
2023-04-21 16:30 - 18:30 (Europe/Rome)
JP2 Lectures // Fr. Thierry-Dominique Humbrecht O.P.: Le statut de la métaphysique chez Thomas d’Aquin
On Friday, April 21, 2023, we invite you to the eighth JP2 Lecture, which will be given by fr. Thierry-Dominique Humbrecht O.P. The lecture entitled “Le statut de la métaphysique chez Thomas d’Aquin” (“The status of metaphysics in St. Thomas Aquinas”) will begin at 4:30 p.m. (CET) at Aula 10 at the Angelicum in Rome.
Unsurprisingly, St Thomas’ doctrine and its sources are well-known. However, it seems more difficult, but also more necessary, to situate metaphysics in his work: its status and function. Is it but a simple reappraisal of Aristotle or of the Neoplatonists? Is it but a doctrine about “being”? Above all, is it a science in itself, that is to say, entirely separated from and existing before theology? The question becomes all the more complex, but also fascinating, because of the interweaving of metaphysics with the requirements of Christian theology. It is all about questioning the links between reason and faith, as Veritatis splendor and Fides et ratio invite us to do. Are they distinct, though complementary and harmonious, or are they intertwined and stimulating each other?
The link to the broadcast will be provided soon.
The lecture will be given in French (no translation provided).
Thierry-Dominique Humbrecht: a Dominican friar, holds a doctorate (qualified to direct research) in philosophy and a doctorate in theology. He is a professor at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Institut Catholique de Toulouse, and also teaches at the Institut Saint-Thomas d’Aquin and in other places. Last publication: Thomas Aquinas, Dieu et la métaphysique, Parole et Silence (2021).

Christology in Literature
Hoynack Archive Center | Hillsdale College | Hillsdale, MI
Christ is the Word spoken by the Father. He is revealed to us in the Scriptures and points to Himself as a principle by which the Christian should “read” experience, history, and reality. Yet how does a reader engage with literature “Christologically”? What are the unique perspectives that Christ can bring in the interpretation and experience of written works?
Drs. Justin Jackson (Hillsdale College), Michael Mack (Catholic University of America), and Thomas Pfau (Duke University) will address these questions at the Hillsdale Thomistic Institute’s Christology in Literature conference, examining the theology of literature and exploring the approach that both literary movements and particular authors take regarding Christology.

Eschatology as First Philosophy: What Ends for Creation?

– Bruce McCormack (Princeton Theological Seminary)

Summary of the day: Both reformed and Roman Catholic Christians agree on the fundamental Scriptural claim that the human being is made in the image of God but also affected by the consequences of original sin and that the same human being can be re-created by the grace of Christ. However, historical disagreements also exist about original righteousness, the effects of sin, and the natures of justification and sanctification. This conference seeks to bring together contemporary Catholic and reformed theologians of the highest qualifications to discuss creatively the existence convergences and ongoing relational differences between reformed and Roman Catholic interpretations of the Christian revelation. The aim is to model a genuine ecumenical dialogue marked by the recognition of historical differences and the acception of them in the midst of the search for common truths. All are welcome to attend. Sponsored by the Agape McDonald Foundation.

Stepping with Science to Sainthood: Nicolaus Steno’s Conversion and His Unity of Life

Angelicum Thomistic Institute – Science & Religion Online Series “The Forgotten History of Science and Faith”
Stepping with Science to Sainthood: Nicolaus Steno’s Conversion and His Unity of Life

Language: English
In 1667, at the peak of his scientific career, the Danish anatomist Nicolaus Steno (1638-1686)
converted to Catholicism. Since then, much has been written about it. His Protestant friends and
modern historians alike found this conversion perplexing. On the other hand, his Florentine
friends and Catholic apologetics rejoiced and used Steno’s conversion as an argumentative tool.
Yet, most accounts fail to contextualize Steno’s conversion in light of his research interests in
anatomy and, later on, in geology. Did Steno convert only to please the Medici family, his new
patrons? Did he experience a religious experience that suddenly made him want to convert? Or
does his conversion, instead, follow gradually from his pursuit of truth in science? In this lecture,
I explain that Steno’s conversion happened due to a particular moment in his scientific career in
which he was obsessed with finding rigorous scientific knowledge about the world. This search
for certainty, in combination with new friendships, made him leap into the Catholic Church.
Join us, as we rediscover the forgotten history of Science and Faith.

Communitas 2023- Are ‘Just Wars’ Possible?

Communitas 2023- Are ‘Just Wars’ Possible?
War is one of humanity’s greatest tragedies. Its outbreak in Ukraine has made us realize just how far we are from being free of deadly conflicts, and how deeply all of us are entangled in them, even if they are being fought thousands of kilometers from our homes. This reality highlights our need to form precise thoughts and actions which will promote efforts to attain a just peace in our times.

Centenaires de la Canonisation, de la Mort et de la Naissance de Saint Thomas d’Aquin
2023-05-09 08:00 - 2023-05-12 17:00 (Europe/Helsinki)
Centenaires de la Canonisation, de la Mort et de la Naissance de Saint Thomas d’Aquin
9 mai 2023-12 mai 2023
Toulouse, France
Langue: Français
Les années 2023, anniversaire de sa canonisation (18 juillet 1323), 2024, de sa mort, et 2025, année de sa naissance (1225) seront la triple occasion de revenir sur Thomas d’Aquin (1225 1274), cette figure centrale de la chrétienté médiévale au XIII siècle. Celui qui est devenu le « docteur commun de l’Église » et le principal théologien de l’Ordre dominicain fait l’objet depuis le XIV siècle d’un culte toulousain puisque le pape Urbain V a laissé à la « ville rose », aux Jacobins, ses reliques (1368).
Trois volets caractérisent cette triple célébration : spirituelle et liturgique, artistique et musicale, intellectuelle et culturelle. C’est pourquoi avec le soutien de la ville de Toulouse, les Jacobins, la province dominicaine de Toulouse, le couvent provincial saint Thomas d’Aquin et son studium, la Revue thomiste et l’Institut saint Thomas d’Aquin, l’Institut Catholique de Toulouse organiseront les manifestations indiquées dans ce programme. Spécialistes de l’art, de la pensée, de la culture, philosophes et théologiens, durant ces trois années se relaieront pour éclairer et analyser la signification actuelle d’une pensée et d’un religieux du XIII siècle dans la pensée européenne.

JP2 Lectures // Rev. Franciszek Longchamps de Bérier: “Hominum causa: ‘All Law is Established for Men’s Sake’ and the Dispute on the Essence of Man”
2023-05-18 16:30 - 18:30 (Europe/Rome)
JP2 Lectures // Rev. Franciszek Longchamps de Bérier: “Hominum causa: ‘All Law is Established for Men’s Sake’ and the Dispute on the Essence of Man”
On Thursday, May 18, 2023, we invite you to the JP2 Lecture, which will be given by Rev. Franciszek Longchamps de Bérier, Professor of Law at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. The lecture entitled “Hominum causa: ‘All Law is Established for Men’s Sake’ and the Dispute on the Essence of Man” will begin at 4:30 p.m. (CET) in Aula 11 at the Angelicum.
Lawyers are specially trained in providing legal services. They are necessarily aware that the regulations that the law has recourse to are in fact only tools, and that the law is actually designed to promote certain values and it is these values which find their expression in the law. It was pointedly noted in 1991 that, “as history demonstrates, a democracy without values easily turns into open or thinly-disguised totalitarianism”. The experience of the enormous change in political systems which took place in late twentieth-century Europe led the author of this observation to further comment: “Authentic democracy is possible only in a state ruled by law, and on the basis of a correct conception of the human person”. The first part of this last citation is best known and often repeated. It is the second, however, that touches the main problem of our times, i.e. anthropology. How should one respect human beings as bearers of rights? Is there any correct anthropology, the only correct anthropology to be used as a basis for law?
