The Diminished Experience Of Liturgy In A Pandemic, Joseph Torti
The Diminished Experience Of Liturgy In A Pandemic, Joseph Torti
LMU/LLS Theses and Dissertations
This paper considers the pastoral challenge of a diminished experience of liturgy and worship during the Covid-19 pandemic. It explores the ubiquity of the digital realm and a pervasive culture of consumerism as factors in addition to the pandemic contributing to the challenge. We then reflect on the challenge through the theological perspective of Scripture, sacramental theology, Vatican II teaching and liturgical theology before proposing a pastoral plan.
God’S Forgiveness As Expressed In The Gospels, Rod Womer
God’S Forgiveness As Expressed In The Gospels, Rod Womer
LMU/LLS Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines the twenty-two passages in the Gospels in which God’s forgiveness of human sin is explicitly addressed. Using modern textual, literary, form, redaction, and historical criticisms as exegetical tools, the examination maps out the development of these biblical vignettes so as to extract from the process an understanding of what the Gospel writers wanted to convey to Jesus’ followers about God’s forgiveness. Four distinct forgiveness modes were discovered: repentance leads to forgiveness (e.g. proclaim repentance and forgiveness to all nations in Lk 24:47), faith acts as a conduit to forgiveness (e.g. sinful woman kissing Jesus’ feet in Lk …
A Preferential Option For God: A Catholic Feminist Argument For Not Throwing The Baby Out With The Bathwater, Jane A. Terlesky
A Preferential Option For God: A Catholic Feminist Argument For Not Throwing The Baby Out With The Bathwater, Jane A. Terlesky
LMU/LLS Theses and Dissertations
In this paper I explore what Catholic feminist Ignatian spirituality can contribute to the conversation between faith and culture, conversation that is too often muddied by vague and superficial argument and by an ‘us’ vs ‘them’ attitude driven by extremes to which the majority do not belong. The secular and the religious spring from a common past, though they exist now within the nova effect of spiritualities available today in our modern Western or North Atlantic, “secular 3” world. The 500-year-old Ignatian Exercises can be a coherent voice speaking in the cacophony of the contemporary context especially when a feminist …
The Imago Dei As A Response To Consumerism And Individualism Within The Church, Carine George
The Imago Dei As A Response To Consumerism And Individualism Within The Church, Carine George
LMU/LLS Theses and Dissertations
The pastoral problem being addressed has to do with the culture of consumerism and individualism that have influenced the culture of the Church. Within Western society, the “ism” culture, consisting of factors such as: hedonism, consumerism, materialism, secularism, relativism and individualism, has become very prominent. Christians often operate no differently than non-Christians, and this is problematic since Christians are called to be salt for the earth and light for the world (Matthew 5:13-16), a people set apart. In John 15:19, we are told that we were not made to be of this world, so we need to stop being influenced …

A Man-Made Disaster: A Yogic Response To The Environmental Crisis And Its Religious, Political, And Economic Origins, Grace Ludwing

This work explores the religious, political, and economic origins of the environmental crisis and offers tangible solutions by applying various religious and philosophical teachings from Yoga.
Dancing Theology - A Construction Of A Pneumatology Of The Body, Kristin Kissell
Dancing Theology - A Construction Of A Pneumatology Of The Body, Kristin Kissell
LMU/LLS Theses and Dissertations
Dance is the language of the soul. Dance, as a theological source, can remind us of who we are in and with the living perichoresis of the Trinity. Dance, as embodied art, can provide us with a new way of viewing and discussing pneumatology and that we too, in our incarnate reality, participate in perichoresis. Within this work I seek to answer the questions of how dance is a source of theology, why a pneumatology of the body is significant, and how dance provides a framework for a pneumatology of the body. The creation of a pneumatology of the body …
Toward An Anti-Racist Theology: American Racism And Catholic Social Thought, Douglas J. Cremer
Toward An Anti-Racist Theology: American Racism And Catholic Social Thought, Douglas J. Cremer
LMU/LLS Theses and Dissertations
In the writings of the Vatican, the United States and Latin American bishops, and various theologians since the 1950s, Catholic social thought has generally failed to understand the pernicious depth of the system of racial classification, discrimination, and violence in the Americas. Catholic social thought still sees racism as based on the pre-existing, valid category of "race," requiring individual conversion and social effort. What is required instead is seeing the very concept of " race" as what must be rejected as the product of a racist ideology of politico-economic oppression and developing an anti-racist theological response that overcomes and eliminates …
