Review by Catherine Maybanks
(Catholic Herald, April 1, 2023)
What is a Classical Liberal Arts Education? Why is it so important for the development of a person?
Fr. Juan R. Vélez answers these and more questions you might have about University Education in the 21st century. This book is aimed for parents, prospective University students, and educators. It will help you discern why adding Liberal Arts electives to your education will help it form it better, and help the student learn to reason, and not just learn.
He also explains how many Universities have changed the true meaning of Liberal Arts, and the subjects, and gives advise on how to choose College Campus, Subjects, and Teachers.
A wonderful book that every parent should also read way before your children are College bound. A Liberal Arts education can start earlier in life, even from home.
“Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to prove you, as though something strange were happening to you.”
The Psalms, the "voice of the Church," invite us to enter into the sufferings of Christ and His people, and cling to God above all.
Applying Newman's theory, it seems clear that the notion that women's ordination to to the priesthood, would not maintain the type of the early Church.
In 1990, the International Theological Commission, issued a document titled "The Interpretation of Dogma" in which Newman's seven notes are endorsed.
The path forward for us personally and for the Church at large, requires returning to the core truths that Christ Himself has revealed to us.
We are made to be gifts to God and gifts to each other, body and soul; to go against God’s law, which is for our good, is to refuse the gift.
What does John Henry Newman mean by the words: "to live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often?"
Listening to God is done keeping in mind the normative value of the whole of Tradition and of the Church’s Teaching.
The sensum fidelium is a confirmation of authentic doctrinal development in contrast to corruption of doctrine. It can also be described as a spiritual instinct for Catholic truths.
