SUMMARY:Was America's Founding Fatally Flawed by the Provenance of Its Ideas? with Robert Reilly
DESCRIPTION:Troubled by the ample evidence of a moral decline in the United States\, some Catholic thinkers trace the problem to what they see as a fatal flaw in the American Founding: a reliance on the philosophical principles of the Enlightenment. Robert Reilly\, the author of America on Trial\, disagrees. He argues that the political ideas of the Founders are compatible with—and indeed derived from—the tradition of respect for Reason and Revelation\, Church and State\, developed by Catholic philosophers of the Middle Ages.\n \n\n \nRobert R. Reilly is Director of the Westminster Institute. In his twenty-five years of government service\, he served as Special Assistant to the President and as Director of the Voice of America\, was Senior Advisor for Information Strategy to the Secretary of Defense\, and taught at National Defense University. He attended Georgetown University and the Claremont Graduate University\, and he has published widely on American politics and morals\, foreign policy\, and classical music. His books include Making Gay Okay: How Rationalizing Homosexual Behavior Is Changing Everything\, Surprised by Beauty: A Listener’s Guide to the Recovery of Modern Music\, and The Closing of the Muslim Mind: How Intellectual Suicide Created the Modern Islamist Crisis. His latest book is America on Trial: A Defense of the Founding.

SUMMARY:Live Local or Die: Coming Home to Catholic Social Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Are you becoming a slave to next-day shipping and cell phone screens? Have you ever wanted to learn how to slaughter a pig or make sourdough? Have you ever walked the trails and byways of your hometown—or even the full extent of your own property? \nJoin us for a lively discussion of what it truly means to live local with four contributors to the recently-released Localism: Coming Home to Catholic Social Teaching (Sophia Institute Press\, 2024). \nWilliam Fahey (Thomas More College)\, Max Becher (First Steps Farm)\, Michael Dominic Taylor (Thomas More College)\, and Jason Craig (St. Joseph’s Farm) will inform\, challenge\, and provoke us before opening up the floor to questions and conversation. \nAttendees will walk away with a renewed appreciation for their local communities\, fresh ideas both philosophical and practical\, and the inspiration to implement true Catholic Social Teaching in their lives\, homes\, and communities. Copies of Localism will also be available\, as will local provender. \n \n\n  \nWilliam Fahey is the third president of Thomas More College. On the natural level\, he attributes his successes to the excellent counsel of family and friends\, and to the guiding principle that a Catholic liberal arts education is truly an excellent foundation for all human action.

He has served on the board of directors of Catholic Rural Life in St. Paul MN\, and authored articles on rural life for their publications. \n  \nMichael Dominic Taylor grew up in rural Connecticut\, where he was an active outdoorsman. He spent his summers sailing and lobster fishing on the coast of Maine. He is the author of The Foundations of Nature: Metaphysics of Gift for an Integral Ecological Ethic (Cascade\, 2020)\, which\, in 2021\, was a recipient of the Expanded Reason Award given by the Joseph Ratzinger Foundation (the Vatican) and the Francisco de Vitoria University (Madrid).

He is a first generation\, part-time farmer with extensive experience with pigs\, cows\, and gardening. With degrees in horticulture and theology\, Mr. Craig brings together a coherent philosophical foundation for living on the land and the need to consider the cultural shift required to make the move. \n

SUMMARY:Living an Intentional Life: Work\, Leisure\, and the Problem of Time with Dr. John Cuddeback
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us at the Center on Monday\, February 10\, 2025 at 7:30 PM for a lecture by John Cuddeback entitled\, “Living an Intentional Life: Work\, Leisure\, and the Problem of Time.” \n \nDr. John Cuddeback teaches philosophy at Christendom College and is the founder of LifeCraft\, a community project which focuses on issues relating to household\, friendship\, work\, and stewardship. \nHe writes of his mission for LifeCraft: \n“I have known the struggles of being a husband\, father\, friend\, employee\, and citizen in very confusing times. The travails of the household—as experienced by husbands and wives\, fathers and mothers\, children\, and others—especially consume my attention and are close to my heart. My search is for refreshing and revitalizing waters from a good place. Peaceful yet challenging\, silent but powerful\, old as the hills and exactly what we need today. I want to reconnect with what we already know\, or at least that we can know. My goal is a more fully human life\, in its many facets\, lived together in community and in life-giving relationships.” \nImage: Boys in a Dory\, Winslow Homer. Courtesy Metropolitan Museum of Art.

SUMMARY:Nolan Unmasked with John Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Has the most influential “Catholic theologian” of our time been hiding in plain sight?

SUMMARY:The Virtues as Super Habits with Andrew Abela

Drawing on insights from philosophy\, psychology\, and everyday experience\, Dr. Abela shows that virtues like gratitude\, honesty\, humility\, and courage are not abstract ideals but trainable “mental muscles” that anyone can develop. Copies of Super Habits (Sophia Press\, 2024) will be available for purchase and signing.\n  \n\n\n \nDr. Andrew Abela is the founding Dean of the Busch School of Business\, Professor of Marketing\, and former Provost of the Catholic University of America.

His research has been published in several academic journals and in three books. \nHe is a frequent speaker on business ethics and cultivating virtue in organizations. Prior to his academic career\, Dr. Abela was a brand manager at Procter & Gamble\, management consultant with McKinsey & Company\, and Managing Director at the Corporate Executive Board (now Gartner). He holds an MBA from the Institute for Management Development (IMD) in Switzerland and a PhD from the Darden Business School at the University of Virginia. He and his wife\, Kathleen\, live in Great Falls\, Virginia and have been blessed with six children and two grandchildren.

SUMMARY:Ghost Runner Book Launch with Phil Lawler
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of Phil Lawler’s new book\, Ghost Runner\, from Sophia Institute Press. \nOne of America’s most respected Catholic writers and cultural critics\, Lawler bursts onto the fiction scene with a riveting debut novel that plunges readers into the hidden battles of the Church in the 1980s. Lawler exposes beneath the surface of parish life and chancery politics a world of secrets\, compromises\, and spiritual warfare—where the faithful struggle to survive and a young priest discovers that he has a special mission—and powerful enemies. \n \n \n  \n Phil Lawler is editor of Catholic World News\, the first English-language Catholic news service operating on the Internet\, which he founded in 1995. His essays appear regularly on CatholicCulture.org as well as his own Substack. \nMr. Lawler has served as Director of Studies for the Heritage Foundation\, a conservative think-tank based in Washington; as founder and president of a national organization of Catholic laity; and as editor of Crisis magazine. In 1986\, he became the first layman to edit The Pilot\, the Boston archdiocesan newspaper. From 1993 through 2005\, he was editor of the international monthly magazine Catholic World Report. His essays\, book reviews\, and editorial columns have appeared in over 100 newspapers around the United States and abroad\, including the Wall Street Journal\, Los Angeles Times\, Washington Post\, and Boston Globe. Ghost Runner is his first novel. \nHe and his wife Leila (the author of the best-selling Summa Domestica) have seven children and (at last count) twenty-two grandchildren. The Lawlers now live in central Massachusetts.
