This Thursday, March 17, we invite you to the next lecture of the 2021-22 “JP2 Lectures” series, organized by the St. John Paul II Institute of Culture at the Angelicum, which will be given by Carl A. Anderson, vice president of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
The lecture titled “Christianity and Culture: A Truly Christian Life Bears Witness to Christ” will start at 4.30 PM (CET) in Aula Minor, at the Angelicum (address: Largo Angelicum, 1, 00184 Roma).
Discussions of the “death of culture” present Christians with new opportunities for evangelization by individuals, families and parish communities that bear witness to Christ in distinctive ways. The early Christian encounter with pagan culture suggests ways in which this can be done. Christianity’s engagement with secular culture must find ways to awaken a sensibility toward transcendence among people who up to now live as though God does not exist. This can be done by Catholics living a way of life that as Pope Francis says “bears witness to Christ.” In this effort visual arts and music will have important roles. How the religious life of believers is supported by the Catholic culture of their parishes will be central to their witness in a secular culture.
