Image of God and the Effects of Sin
– Michael Allen (Reformed Theological Seminary)
– Jessica Murdoch (Villanova University)
Christ the Fulfillment of Creation: How So?
– Oliver Crisp (University of St. Andrews)
– Aaron Pidel, SJ (Marquette University)
Created Mediations: Is the Church a Part of Creation?
– Hyacinthe Destivelle, OP (Angelicum)
– Keith Johnson (Reformed Theological Seminary)
Eschatology as First Philosophy: What Ends for Creation?
– Judith Wolfe (University of St. Andrews)
– 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
Nuno Castel-Branco
The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies
4 May 2023
7:00 PM (Rome) / 6:00 PM (London) / 1:00 PM (New York)
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?
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

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?

Philosophy, Science & Religion: Dialogue of the deaf or fruitful dialectic?
Philosophy, the natural sciences, and religion are fundamental components of every culture and human thought history. In their own way, they help man face fundamental questions about his life. Despite the differences in the methods they use and the differences in the way they perceive the world, philosophy, science and religion can and must develop a fruitful dialogue. Furthermore, reason and faith are not contradictory but complementary.

How Is Revealed Knowledge Justified? Aquinas on Faith and Reason
Oxford University

Monday, June 5
7:30 PM
Blackfriars
This lecture is free and open to the public.
About the Topic:
In this talk, I will relate Aquinas’s view of faith to contemporary perspectives in analytic philosophy about epistemic justification and the epistemological status of testimony. The main question I will address is how we can be justified in believing things on the basis of divine testimony, mediated through Scripture and Tradition.
About the Speaker:
Mats Wahlberg is associate professor of systematic theology at Umeå University, Sweden. He has written two books: Reshaping Natural Theology (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) and Revelation as Testimony (Eerdmans, 2014), as well as many scholarly articles. His research about the problem of evil has received funding from the John Templeton Foundation. In 2021, he was the visiting Aquinas Chair at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum) in Rome.

¿Qué es el hombre? Aunque parezca una pregunta trivial, una simple mirada a la diversidad de respuestas (o incluso ausencia de ellas) que se proponen en nuestro mundo contemporáneo exige volver a pensar en profundidad qué es el hombre, cuál es su origen y cuál es su destino. En este III Encuentro universitario tomista procuraremos aproximarnos a estos problemas a la luz del pensamiento de santo Tomás de Aquino a quien san Juan Pablo II llamaba también Doctor humanitatis.
Cada día celebraremos la Santa Misa y tendremos un rato de adoración al Santísimo. Tendremos, además, la oportunidad de compartir con los profesores en un ambiente de convivencia informal.

Glencomeragh House | Co. Tipperary, Ireland
This retreat is being offered for Trinity College and current university students in Ireland.
Step away from the daily rush of life to pray and study the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor, with the Thomistic Institute. The retreat will have seminars and discussions framed by the traditional elements of a retreat (Mass, adoration, the Divine Office, etc.).
Thanks to the generosity of our benefactors, meals and housing will be provided free for accepted applicants.

Speakers:
Prof. Adam Eitel (Yale Divinity School) holds appointments in the Divinity School, the Program in Medieval Studies, and the Humanities Program. His research and teaching bring topics in the history of Christian theology to bear on questions of fundamental moral concern. A specialist in medieval scholasticism, his particular research interests span doctrinal and moral theology, especially in the works of Thomas Aquinas and his contemporaries. His first book, Thomas Aquinas and the Invention of the Preacher, examines the need for gifts of the Holy Spirit in light of the eliminable conditions of human folly; as this volume approaches the final stages of revision, he is also preparing a translation and critical introduction to Aquinas’s Contra impugnantes. His contributions to various journals include published and forthcoming essays in the Journal of Religious Ethics, Nova et Vetera, Studies in Christian Ethics, and The Thomist. Longer term aspirations include projects on the virtue of charity, the nature of sin, grace, eschatology, grief, and infant mortality.
Fr. Conor McDonough, O.P. (Dominican House of Studies, Dublin) is a Dominican friar from Galway. He studied science and theology at the University of Cambridge and taught theology at secondary school before joining the Dominicans in 2009. He was ordained priest in 2016 and undertook further studies in theology at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland), focussing on the writings of St Thomas Aquinas and John Calvin. He is currently based in Dublin where he teaches theology to the students at the Dominican House of Studies in Dublin.
Fr. Alan O’Sullivan, O.P. (Trinity College) is currently the chaplain of Trinity College, Dublin. He is a member of the Irish province of the Order of Preachers who studied at Blackfriars, Oxford.

Fifth Annual Thomistic Philosophy and Natural Science Symposium
2023-07-12 14:00 - 2023-07-16 17:00 (America/Halifax)
Fifth Annual Thomistic Philosophy and Natural Science Symposium: Uncertainty, Confidence, and Truth in the Sciences

July 12-16, 2023 | Dominican House of Studies, Washington, DC
Are there questions that science can answer with certainty? Practicing scientists have developed technical tools for quantifying the confidence they have in their results, as well as implicit habits for distinguishing “established” science from developments still under debate. These developments give scientists confidence in their work, but it has proven difficult to consistently communicate the subtleties of their confidence to non-experts. In addition, as scientists often focus on cutting-edge and disputed topics, they are less reflective about the confidence and certainty they have in more foundational scientific claims, for instance: the existence of electrons, DNA, or cells. Philosophers of science have engaged in a wide-ranging debate on the nature of scientific claims and whether they can attain real certainty and truth, but this conversation is often foreign to practicing scientists.
This conference investigates the issues of uncertainty, confidence, and truth in various scientific disciplines and in the philosophy of science. In particular, we will investigate whether classical Aristotelian and Thomistic notions such as demonstration and necessity, as applied to the natural world, can contribute to the contemporary conversation about truth and certainty in the sciences.

ATI Summer Seminar in Asian Philosophy and Scholasticism, 2023
2023-07-13 09:00 - 2023-07-20 17:00 (Europe/Rome)
ATI Summer Seminar in Asian Philosophy and Scholasticism, 2023:
Neo-Confucians and Scholastics on Practical Reasoning, Deliberation, and Choice
Summer Seminar Date: 13-20 July 2023
Location: Pontifical University fo St. Thomas Aquinas (Rome, Italy)
Co-leaders: Fr. James Dominic Rooney, OP (HKBU) & Zemian Zheng (CUHK)
Language: English
ATI Summer School Purpose and Aims: to acquaint scholars of Asian philosophical traditions with scholastic thought, both in its original sources and in contemporary discussions incorporating appeal to scholastic philosophy, as well as to acquaint those interested in scholastic thought with Asian philosophical tradition in the same way.
2023 Theme Description:
This seminar is intended to provide a primer for graduate students on the views of the scholastics and Neo-Confucians concerning practical reasoning, deliberation, and choice, hoping to pave the way for fruitful philosophical dialogue between these important traditions by bringing together students working on projects in Asian or medieval philosophy, ethics, and metaphysics. Preference will be given to those students already working on issues associated with the theme of the seminar.
Questions of ‘free will’ have concerned metaphysicians in the West for centuries. While Confucians have not been concerned with the same questions which primarily concerned Western metaphysicians, Confucians have analyzed the moral psychology involved in decision-making and choice, being deeply concerned with the question why individuals act wrongly.
This seminar will focus on those shared background matters associated with practical reasoning, deliberation, and choice where Western medieval scholastic philosophy and Neo-Confucian Song-Ming era philosophy can offer distinct perspectives on similar issues.
Format / General Scheme:

There will be two or three sessions each day for eight days, each day alternating between instructors. Each instructor will open with a lecture, and then we will turn to a seminar-style discussion of the texts and issues at hand. In the final sessions, we will discuss how the material can be applied to each student’s particular area of interest.
The seminar will take place at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Rome. Travel stipends are available on a need basis. All accepted participants will be provided with accommodations and meals.
