The Integrity Of Women: The Anthropological Vision Of Humanae Vitae, Emily Fasteson
The Integrity Of Women: The Anthropological Vision Of Humanae Vitae, Emily Fasteson
Honors Theses
The Catholic Church has expressed its opposition to contraception from the beginning. Use of the Pill is not coincident with the Church’s vision of the human person, and I will explore the anthropological grounds upon which the Church informs her stance. Modernity has a different anthropology than that of the Church; I seek to unearth and understand the difference between these two views by synthesizing the philosophy and theology behind Humanae vitae, taking its predictions seriously, and analyzing how they have come to fruition in the modern world. My focus is on man’s attempt to overcome his own limits …

The Function Of Liturgical Music Within The History Of The Catholic Church, Christopher Cuzzupe
The Function Of Liturgical Music Within The History Of The Catholic Church, Christopher Cuzzupe
Honors Theses
Within the Catholic Church, there has always been a need and a strong presence for music. The need for music has changed from being simply something listened to by all and sung by a few to involving everyone to sing together and participate in liturgical celebrations. There is great richness to be gained from an increased awareness of music in the Church, and many important lessons can be learned from the historical progression of liturgical music. The effect music has had on the liturgy has directly affected the congregation based upon their needs. The central questions addressed within this thesis …
Human Action In Philosophy And Poetry, Daniel P. Maher
Human Action In Philosophy And Poetry, Daniel P. Maher
Philosophy Department Faculty Works
The philosophical effort to see and say the truth about human agents and human action seems very different from the poetic effort to delight us with actors who only pretend to do what we see them do. These two modes of thinking present action differently, and I approach this difference through pedagogical considerations associated with teaching ethics in philosophy classes. Students rightly sense a difference between the philosophical appreciation of human beings as practical and the character of real human action as acted. In this paper, I argue that part of this distance can be bridged by considering the poetic …
Charity As Friendship According To St. Thomas Aquinas, Michael Hoye
Charity As Friendship According To St. Thomas Aquinas, Michael Hoye
Honors Theses
The Angelic Doctor of the Church, Saint Thomas Aquinas, is among the greatest minds to contribute to the Catholic tradition. What this important Doctor of the Church teaches about charity, however, has not been widely received in the seven centuries since Aquinas’ career. Charity is not only the highest theological virtue, as compared to faith and hope, but charity is also that virtue on which all other virtues depend; St. Paul writes: “Without charity, I am nothing” (1 Cor. 13). The height and summit of the Catholic faith is the Holy Eucharist, which is often referred to as the Sacrament …

The Affirmation Of Genuine Human Dignity, Marc D. Guerra
The Affirmation Of Genuine Human Dignity, Marc D. Guerra
Theology Department Faculty Works
Catholic theology traditionally has described the human person’s place in creation, using terms borrowed from the broader context of Catholic cosmology. To understand the human person, one must first view him in relation to God and only then in relation to the rest of creation. Such a comparison reveals that the human person occupies a privileged place within the created order. The only temporal creature created in God’s image, the human person has been elevated to a position somewhere above the brutes and somewhere below the angels, but over the past century, the Catholic Church increasingly has emphasized the dignity …
