SUMMARY:Doctor of the Church and Co-Patron of Education: A Newman Symposium with Robert Royal and Edward Short
DESCRIPTION:In honor of St. John Henry Cardinal Newman being named a Doctor of the Church\, please join us as Robert Royal and Edward Short offer a symposium on this great saint. Robert Royal will speak on “Newman’s Augustinian Heart” and Edward Short on “St. John Henry Newman and St. Thomas Aquinas: A Study in Apologetical Affinity.” \n \n\n  \nRobert Royal is editor-in-chief of The Catholic Thing and president of the Faith & Reason Institute in Washington\, D.C. His most recent books are The Martyrs of the New Millennium: The Global Persecution of Christians in the Twenty-First Century\, Columbus and the Crisis of the West\, and A Deeper Vision: The Catholic Intellectual Tradition in the Twentieth Century. He was the inaugural John Henry Newman Visiting Chair in Catholic Studies at Thomas More College. \n  \nEdward Short is the Executive Director of the Chesterton Academy of Vero Beach and the author of the highly acclaimed trilogy on St John Henry Newman comprised of Newman and his Contemporaries\, Newman and his Family\, and Newman and his Critics. He is also the author of Newman and History and a critical edition of Newman’s Difficulties of Anglicans\, Volume I. Bishop James Massa\, Rector of Saint Joseph’s Seminary in New York hailed Mr. Short’s Newman scholarship as “a gift to the whole Church.” In addition\, Mr. Short is the author of two collections of essays\, Adventures in the Book Pages and What The Bells Sang. Of the latter\, Lord Roberts\, Churchill’s biographer said: “As well as being beautifully written and genuinely brave\, this book is also wise. It is a remarkable testament to the breadth and profundity of the author’s expertise and interests\, and the extraordinary depth of his reading. The polymathic Man of Letters might be a disappearing breed in our civilization\, but Edward Short is holding out. He should be listed\, like a piece of our architectural heritage.” A staunch pro-lifer\, Mr. Short is also the author of Culture and Abortion. His essays and reviews appear regularly in Literary Review\, City Journal\, Catholic World Report\, and The New Criterion. Mr. Short obtained his BA degree cum laude in history and art history at Hunter College in the City University of New York. He lives in Florida and New York with his wife and two young children.

SUMMARY:Thirteen Novels Conservatives Will Love (But Probably Haven't Read): Book Discussion with Christopher Scalia
DESCRIPTION:You may have read The Scarlet Letter in high school\, but have you ever read The Blithedale Romance\, Hawthorne’s scathing fictional account of a New England utopian community gone wrong? Or Leif Unger’s lyrical Peace Like a River\, which\, as Scalia argues\, offers profound insights on what it means to be a man? \nCome join us for a “fireside chat” with AEI Senior Fellow Christopher Scalia as he serves up a baker’s dozen of outstanding and often overlooked English and American novels—novels with rich moral\, cultural\, and social lessons for our own troubled times. \n  \n \n  \n \nChristopher J. Scalia is a Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute\, where he focuses on literature\, culture\, and higher education. \nHis most recent book\, 13 Novels Conservatives Will Love (but Probably Haven’t Read)\, is\, in the words of Russell Kirk Center President (and former Thomas More College President) Jeffrey O. Nelson\, “a reliable guide to younger readers\, suspicious and wearied of politicized works of culture\, exhorting them to reclaim their patrimony by making great literature central to their intellectual formation.” \nA former English professor\, Dr. Scalia specialized in 18th-century and early 19th-century British literature. His articles\, essays\, and reviews on literature\, music\, higher education\, and other topics have appeared in the Wall Street Journal\, the Washington Post\, USA Today\, National Review\, First Things\, the Times Literary Supplement\, and FoxNews.com\, among other outlets. \nDr. Scalia is the coeditor of On Faith: Lessons from an American Believer (2019) and Scalia Speaks: Reflections on Law\, Faith\, and Life Well Lived (2017). \n

SUMMARY:Gen Z\, Gen Alpha\, and the Future of the Conservative Movement with Kimberly Begg
DESCRIPTION:What happens when the conservative movement speaks a language today’s young people no longer recognize? In this talk\, Kimberly Begg\, president of the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women\, examines how the lived experiences of Gen Z and Gen Alpha differ sharply from those of leaders shaped by twentieth-century events—and why yesterday’s arguments no longer persuade. Drawing on her work with young women across the country\, Begg explores how words like conservative\, freedom\, and truth no longer carry shared meaning for a generation formed by COVID lockdowns\, the rise of transgender ideology\, and a deep mistrust of authorities who demand conformity while denying reality. She argues that today’s young people are both dreamers and realists. They are not interested in fighting their parents’ battles. What they want is to chart their own path rooted in purpose and common sense. Our task is to meet that desire with humility—to earn their trust\, pass on hard-earned wisdom\, and help them build meaningful lives capable of sustaining a free society. \n  \n \n  \nKimberly Begg is president of the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women. An attorney with more than 25 years of experience strengthening conservative causes\, her long history with the Luce Center began in the 1990s when she was a student at Rutgers University. In 1997\, she attended the Luce Center’s College Women’s Luncheon in Washington\, DC and hosted a Luce campus lecture the following year. \nShe has been a regular speaker for the Luce Center since the 2000s and has served on the Center’s board of advisors and board of directors. She is the author of Unbreakable: Saints Who Inspired Saints to Moral Courage (TAN Books) and co-author with Mike Ortner of Catholic School Playbook (Word on Fire). She has served as vice president and general counsel of Young America’s Foundation and director of programs and general counsel of the Ortner Family Foundation. She helped found Young America’s Foundation’s Be Not Afraid seminar (originally\, the Standing Up for Faith and Freedom seminar)\, an annual program for students at Catholic schools\, in 2015. \nFrom 2021 to 2024\, she served as founding editor of Catholic School Playbook\, a website documenting the best practices of thriving Catholic schools. She serves on the board of directors of Young America’s Foundation\, the board of overseers of the Dominican House of Studies\, and the DC board of regents of Thomas Aquinas College. \nShe lives in Herndon\, Virginia\, with her husband\, Ian\, and their five children.

SUMMARY:Event: Faith\, Meaning\, and the Catholic Writer with Cy Kellett
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the writing approaches of G.K. Chesterton and Walker Percy\, both of whom answered the confusions of modern life with wit\, insight\, and Christian faith. By considering their response to the modern search for meaning\, we can reflect on what their work still has to say about literature\, belief\, and the calling of the Catholic writer today. \n \n \n\n\n  \nCy Kellett is the host of Catholic Answers Live. He formerly hosted The Bright Side with Cy Kellett on the Immaculate Heart Radio network. Kellett and his wife\, Missy\, have three children. \n  \n  \nImage courtesy of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton
