RST 207 - Catholicism in the Contemporary World;Theological Renewals

Institution:

Iona University

Subject:

Description:

The Second Vatican Council (1962-65) revolutionized the relationship of the Roman Catholic Church to the modern world. Within a few short years, a church that had been characterized as clerical, juridical, and triumphal assumed a different, more humble posture characterized by dialogical engagement with contemporary society. The Council renewed the Church's self-understanding and consequently all areas of Catholic theology experienced radical rethinking. The sixteen document of the Council will frame a study of the renewed meaning and practice of Catholicism in a post-conciliar age. The renewal of theological categories such as revelation and Scripture, God, Christ, ecclesiology, and Christian praxis will be examined. Prerequisite: RST 101. 3 credits. FS
