CEL 660 - 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.
