CEL 760 - Catholic Identity
Unit(s): 3
The reality of contemporary society in a pluralistic culture poses many questions and challenges to the understanding and articulation of Catholic Identity. This course is designed to explore deeply the vibrant Catholic Identity, which is taking shape in the world today. Often we hear a lamenting of a lost or diminishing Catholic Identity from a time past. Counter to this, Pope Francis and others are igniting a new enthusiasm to recognize the vibrancy of our Catholic tradition. Catholic Identity cannot mean one thing at a Catholic school, another thing at a Catholic service agency and something else at a Catholic healthcare facility. This course will encapsulate a broad based Catholic identity grounded in tradition, sacrament, the Catholic intellectual tradition, and the lived reality of the people of God.

Unit(s): 4
The genius of the epic poets Homer and Vergil in ancient Greece and Rome. Central is the idea of war from which emerge essentially different characteristics of the warrior and the heroic value system in Homer and Vergil. By studying the special place of Homer in the ancient Greek world we will arrive at Homer’s view of society and morality. This will illustrate the way in which Vergil transforms Homer’s material and infuses it with a uniquely Roman way of thinking to create Roman epic, which holds continuing supremacy in Roman writings.
