Against Free Market Economics: Lecture and Luncheon with Dr. Tony Annett
Free markets are good at producing wealth but fall quite short in engendering justice or well-being. On the other hand, Catholic social teaching鈥� and the economic theories attached to the Catholic intellectual tradition鈥搊ffer a more balanced view of market economies and who markets are meant to serve. Resisting free market ideology, Catholic social teaching emphasizes how the common good must take precedence in economic life. Anthony Annett, author of 鈥淐athonomics: How Catholic Tradition Can Create a More Just Economy鈥� explores the insights of this tradition in light of current debates. Response by Dayle M. Smith, Ph.D., Dean of the LMU College of Business Administration. Watch Video

Preventing Unjust War: A Catholic Argument for Selective Conscientious Objection
Why does humankind continue to be plagued by war? Catholic pacifists blame the just war tradition, which can be invoked to justify any war, and so must be jettisoned. In his book, Preventing Unjust War: A Catholic Argument for Selective Conscientious Objection, Roger Bergman argues that the problem is not the just war tradition but the unjust war tradition. Ambitious rulers start wars that cannot be justified, and yet warriors continue to fight them. The problem is that warriors are believed not to hold any responsibility for judging the justice of the wars they are ordered to fight. Selective conscientious objection, the right and duty to refuse to fight unjust wars, is the solution. With the example of Russia鈥檚 invasion of Ukraine at hand, Loyola sociologist of religion Fr. Paddy Gilger, SJ, will engage author Roger Bergman in a lively discussion of what the Catholic intellectual heritage can contribute to this perennial problem. Watch Video

Conversations on the Catholic Imagination: The Relevance of the Stars
Cardinal Se谩n O鈥橫alley and Monsignor Lorenzo Albacete were friends for decades, starting before the latter entered the seminary. Though their particular paths in the Church diverged 鈥� O鈥橫alley became the Archbishop of Boston and Albacete went on to lead the Communion and Liberation movement in the U.S. -- they shared a passion not only for the rich tradition of Catholic culture and thought but also for addressing the urgent question of how to live a Christian life in a postmodern era. The publication of a posthumous collection of some of Albacete鈥檚 most brilliant talks and essays -- 鈥淭he Relevance of the Stars: Christ, Culture, Destiny鈥� -- provides a perfect opportunity to reflect on the Mystical Monsignor鈥檚 legacy as a theologian, pastor, and public intellectual. The editors of 鈥淭he Relevance of the Stars鈥� 鈥� Lisa Lickona and Gregory Wolfe 鈥� engage in a lively conversation with Cardinal O鈥橫alley about the life and legacy of Monsignor Albacete. Watch Video
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
In 2015, Pope Francis remarked that 鈥渢oday we are not living an epoch of change so much as an epochal change鈥濃�攐r put another way, 鈥淲e are not living an era of change but a change of era.鈥� Five years later, in the midst of the global pandemic, Francis concluded an interview by recalling the ancient poet Virgil鈥檚 figure Aeneas. Having lost everything in the defeat of Troy, Aeneas faces a decision whether to remain in despair or move into the future. He picks up his father and heads for the mountain. Francis concluded: 鈥淭his is what we all have to do now, today: to take with us the roots of our traditions, and make for the mountain.鈥� We live in a period of fleeting change whose lightness is nearly unbearable. In his lecture, the Hank Center鈥檚 2021 Teilhard de Chardin, S.J. Fellow, Stephen Schloesser, S.J., will explore the ways that we can re-source the Catholic intellectual heritage so that we might creatively engender its innovative radiance. What elements of our traditions might we draw from as we as we make for the mountain? What materials, attitudes, and dispositions will we need? Schloesser will integrate a sacramental approach and draw on the insights of figures including Paul Claudel, Annie Dillard, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Milan Kundera, and Denise Levertov, as well as Caroline Walker Bynum and Alfred North Whitehead. The cultivation of awe and wonder 鈥攚hich admittedly also entail some fear鈥攚ill be encouraged as a response to the surprising, puzzling, bewildering, astonishing, and mysterious. Watch Video

鈥淣ow more than ever, we must guarantee an outlook in which AI is developed with a focus not on technology, but rather for the good of humanity and of the environment, of our common and shared home and of its human inhabitants, who are inextricably connected.鈥� -Pope Francis Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most important technologies in the world today-- but it is also one rife with serious spiritual, social and ethical questions.

Catholic Vote 2020: How will Faith be a Factor?
At roughly 23% of the population, Catholics are the second largest religious voting bloc in the U.S. They are particularly relevant this year because of Biden's Catholic faith and the issues in play with the SCOTUS vacancy. Still, Catholics are too large to consider as a monolithic group and are split on the candidates and the issues. Given these realities, what deeper distinctions can we draw about voters, faith, and politics? Watch Video

Faith and Secularization: A Dialogue
Our panelists have engaged issues of faith and secularization in significant ways in their work--from the organization of "free thinkers" in the 18th century, to the decline of religion in some quarters in the 19th and 20th centuries, to the rise of the "Nones" in the early 21st century. Jerome Baggett's recent book The Varieties of Nonreligious Experience: Atheism in American Culture, which focuses on the inner lives and experiences of atheists, will be the jumping off point for our discussion. This work will open up onto larger questions of the relationship between secularism and belief, the religious dimension or instinct in human life, and current practices, particularly in the U.S. Watch Video
