LC 341 - Learning Community: Catholic History, Theology, and LiteratureOne Credit
Spring Semester
This Learning Community engages with Catholic literature, history, and theology since the mid-nineteenth century, a tumultuous period in the world and in the Roman Catholic Church. We will examine the articulation of Papal infallibility and clarification of Church doctrine in the nineteenth century, the modernist crisis of the early twentieth, Catholic life and doctrine at mid-century, and the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. The LC then turns its attention to the Post-Conciliar period and its controversies. History and theology will provide students with a solid grounding in the development of the Church during this period and in Catholic doctrine. Literary texts and films will be used to flesh out Catholic life and consciousness over the last 150 years. Students will take two 3-credit courses and a 1-credit Integrative Seminar, in which each participant will pursue a project on contemporary Catholic thought.
Corequisite(s): Students must also take ENG 347 Topic: The Church and the Modern World and REL 310 The Catholic Church-1850 to Present: History and Theology as part of this Learning Community.
Fulfills the Catholic Intellectual Traditions requirement.
