modern culture

Class date: Sep 30, 2018

Next class meeting: Sunday Oct 7.

Last time:
It was great to see so many yesterday for our first class meeting. At that class:

• I made the claim that we live in a sick -- even insane -- culture, and we discussed many examples of the craziness, including self-contradictory and conflicting beliefs. I trust I made that point sufficiently, but we will continue to discuss these issues as they touch on future class topics.
• I also made the claim that the Catholic Faith is True, sane, balanced, makes sense of life, has integrity and coherence, and makes a life of freedom possible.

Updates / clarifications:

Class will meet next Sunday, November 1.

Last time, we considered which worldview is the most reasonable. First, we reviewed the qualities of a sound worldview and the properties that indicate an invalid one, plus the evidence from the previous week that the modern culture shows multiple properties of a broken and invalid worldview.

It was great to see so many last Sunday for our first class meeting. At that class, I made the claim that we live in a sick -- even insane -- culture, and we discussed many examples of the craziness. I trust I made that point sufficiently with the numerous examples I shared, but we will continue to discuss these issues as they touch on future class topics. I also made the claim that the Catholic Faith is True, i.e. sane, balanced, makes sense of life, has integrity and coherence, and makes a life of freedom possible.

We will be meeting for class tomorrow, October 4, and will begin to explore true answers to the big questions, and a reasonable and meaningful alternative to the insanity and emptiness around us.
