"The Open Door" returns to its exploration of the life and work of St. John Henry Newman. We'll look to recent reflections on this new saint by Cardinal Muller and the theologian Tracey Rowland.Our special guest is author, educator, and convert Christopher Zehnder.
Questions on our agenda include the following.
1. How does Newman think that we can arrive at certainty in our assent to the historical revelation of God?
2. Why does Newman's theological universalism lead to an ongoing tension between Church and State? Is a national Christianity possible?
3. What would Newman make of the following claims?
a) We all believe in the same God, so the Church's teaching does not matter that much.
b) Religion is a matter of feeling, so the majority of those who share the same sentiments determine which way the Church goes.
c) People who see themselves as spiritually united should be able to celebrate the Eucharist together.
4. How does Newman understand "liberalism" in religion? Why does he champion a dogmatic faith?
5. Why does Newman sees the university as an alma mater?
6. How does Newman describe the ideal of "the gentleman," and why does he see the university's goal as preparing its students to realize that ideal?
7. How might we best describe a "Catholic gentleman"?
8. What sort of education can foster the ideal of a "Catholic gentleman"?
9. Do Catholic universities offer the education that Newman championed?
10. Leo Strauss distinguished between a gentleman and a philosopher. What sort of education is best for the philosopher? (October 25, 2019)
