OSU Formation: The Ultramodern Catholic Worldview

The lecturer, Fr. William Slattery, an epistemologist by PhD, will present where “ultramodern Catholicism” – classic Catholicism liberated from the quarantined ghetto it has lived in since the Enlightenment - fits on the map of contemporary reality. We live in an epoch where Modernity as a worldview is crashing down around us. Many of the basic ideas that have been around for centuries and around which generations have based their lives are either being rejected, revised, or enlarged. His conviction is that ultramodern Catholicism provides a new worldview for a new culture and lifestyle that finds support from the philosophical implications of quantum physics and from the insights of postmodern critics of society whether right wing or left wing.
