Conferences for Study and Prayer

St. Paul on the Sacraments | 26:5

In this talk, Dr. Lawrence Feingold will discuss one of the great themes of the Letters of St. Paul: that of the Body of Christ. The head of this Body is Christ Himself, and its vivifying and animating spirit is the Holy Spirit. The Messianic promises are fulfilled in this Body, in which all the members are given to drink of the Spirit of God through channels—arteries and veins, joints and ligaments—that connect the members with the life-giving Head. The Church has been provided with living channels of grace different in kind from the religious rites ordained by God in the Old Covenant, in that they efficaciously produce the graces that they signify.

Christ’s Resurrection and Second Coming | 26.6

In this talk, Dr. Lawrence Feingold will discuss how the absolute centrality of the Resurrection of Christ to Christian faith is magnificently expressed by St. Paul in chapter 15 of the First Letter to the Corinthians, in which he speaks of the Resurrection of Christ and the future Resurrection of the faithful. His concern is to correct a heretical view present among some of the faithful in Corinth—influenced by a Platonic conception—according to which the promised Resurrection is a purely spiritual affair. To counter this doubt, St. Paul speaks with great force about the Resurrection of Christ, and its intrinsic connection with the resurrection of Christians at the Second Coming. He begins by giving the testimony of the eyewitnesses of the Resurrection (1 Cor 15:3-9).

The Myth and Reality of the Middle Ages | 27:4

In this talk, Dr. Lawrence Feingold discusses the myth and reality of the Middle Ages.
 
Western civilization is commonly divided by historians into three very broad periods: classical antiquity, the Catholic Middle Ages, and the Modern Period, ushered in by the Reformation and the loss of Catholic unity in Europe. From a Catholic point of view, it is clear that the Middle Ages must represent the high point of these three periods, for it is the period in which God’s Revelation, conserved in the Catholic Church, was the leaven of society and civilization. Classical antiquity served as a certain providential preparation for the Gospel, of which it was inculpably ignorant, whereas the Modern Period is a history of increasing rejection of the Gospel in society.
Of course, the modern world evaluates these three periods in a radically different way. They see the Middle Ages as the worst of these three periods, as a valley set between classical antiquity and modernity.

The Great Intellectual Achievements of Christendom | 27:5

In this talk, Dr. Lawrence Feingold discusses the great intellectual achievements of Christendom.
One of the most pervasive myths or black legends about the Catholic Middle Ages is that it was a period of intellectual stagnation and superstition, in which free thought was stifled by religious authority and dogma. On the contrary, the Middle Ages witnessed a great flowering of the intellectual life, especially in the highest fields of human wisdom: philosophy and theology.

The Great Artistic Achievements of Christendom | 27:6

In this talk, Dr. Lawrence Feingold discusses the great artistic achievements of Christendom.
Just as there is a Christian philosophy, so there is a Christian art, inspired by the truths of faith and placed in its service. It has three principal ends: to give glory to God and His saints, to serve Christian liturgy, and to instruct the faithful through representation of Christian doctrine. There is an apostolate of art that was truly admirable in the great Christian centuries, as in the high Gothic cathedrals, and the painting and sculpture of the Renaissance.
