Ever since I got the opportunity to choose my theology project topic, “ Faith and Reason: Why Science and Catholicism are made for each other? Today many claim that the Church is anti-science, or that science is the “new religion” and Catholicism is no longer relevant. Explore the history of both the Church and science, and the history of these accusations. Explain why both need each other, ” I was excited for this project to begin. One thing I did not realize though was how extensive it was…

comes to school with a bloody nose or a black eye, you know he had a fight over the clothes that morning.” This typifies Irish poverty and its problem as a restriction to those who are a burden to society. As discovered The Church and the St Vincent de Paul Society have control over the amount of aid each family is in need of. Consequently, the imagery created by Frank McCourt illustrates the dark, dull and depressive lanes of Limerick and the unhealthy and staunch population. This is…

Christian symbolism and art were of high importance between 300 c.a. and 600 C.E. People believed that they were leaving their mark on the outside world through these symbols and pieces of art. They also thought that through these symbols and analogies, they would be able to better relate biblical matters to those that did not follow Christ. There were several icons that were used everywhere throughout the world, but then a vital discrepancy appeared. There was a huge conflict between the Roman…

The Purpose of the Church The purpose of the church is a question that arises for many Christians today. Why should I go to church? Many may go to church so they can appear to be a “good Christian,” but do they really understand why they are there? In Matthew, the church is said to be “the kingdom.” Hebrews 10:25 says “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—all the more as you see the Day approaching.” This verse not only gives the…

John Henry Newman was one of the most important Roman Catholic theologians in the 19th century, otherwise known as the Victorian Era (Shiefen). He is known greatly for his involvement in the Oxford movement, a movement in which many men argued for the want of older Christian traditions to return so that the Church of England could be brought back to its Catholic roots. Before Newman was a part of the Oxford movement, he was a very popular priest at Oxford, and he later became a cardinal.…

He remembers how his mother had spent weeks to sew all four children’s outfits, and how it was the first time he had been dressed up for a stranger. Richard even remembers how the priest sounded when he laughed, claiming that “It was the first time I had heard such sounds in the house” (86). The remembrance of these minor details proves how important of an experience this was to Rodriguez. After dinner was served, Rodriguez states that the priest consecrated the house and left a “large…

Terris Pope John Paul II addresses Pope John XXIII's writing in his Encyclical letter of Pecem in Terris. Pacem in Terris in English term is known as Peace on earth. John Paul II made it very clear to what he wanted to talk about in his version of Pecem in Terris. He actually writes it in a very organized manner. He puts it in almost a list of what has been happening in or before the 20th century, almost like giving us a history lesson of some sort. He then addresses the ideas of Pope John…

Concluding with Narnia’s rebirth into new and fuller life, The Last Battle necessarily engages with themes of judgement, salvation, and eternity. C. S. Lewis closes his chronicle with Narnia perfectly realized in eternity, where all of its heroes rejoice in Aslan’s presence. Delving deep into theology, Lewis undergirds his events and imagery with powerfully coherent message about salvation. Lewis’s vision of the final judgement reflects a distinctly Catholic theology through its communication of…

He attended elementary school and grammar school in Augsburg and his patriotism soon changed into pacifism in 1914 when…
