Lecture
Time: Monday, March 22 at 7:30 pm
Location: Wallace Hall
How the American Catholic Church Might Become More Democratic, Transparent, and Accountable to the Folks in the Pews
Speaker: Rev. Mark Massa, S.J.
The Karl Rahner Professor of Theology at Fordham University
Many American Catholics feel that their own Church seems unresponsive to their intellectual and emotional needs, and that it appears unable to pass on a vibrant faith to young people - or at least does so in a haphazard way. Others feel that it lacks transparency in its financial and staffing processes. Still others feel that, in not sufficiently addressing a clergy shortage soon to become a crisis of major proportions, it has undervalued and underutilized the expertise and gifts of its own lay people.
One way of addressing these problems (real and perceived) is to recover Catholicism’s more democratic and populist traditions of spirituality and lay involvement, evinced in both the spirituality of the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola, and in the tradition of trusteeism of the 19th century American Catholic Church. This talk will address both perceived problems and some possible solutions.
