We Hope: Sot/Sem Midday Prayer Reflection - November 9, 2023, Kathleen A. Cahalan
We Hope: Sot/Sem Midday Prayer Reflection - November 9, 2023, Kathleen A. Cahalan
Obsculta
Every week, the faculty, staff, and students of the Saint John’s School of Theology and Seminary gather together in common worship for Ecumenical Midday Prayer and Convivium, a shared meal. This reflection was given by Kathleen Cahalan—Professor of Practical Theology—in November of 2023 and explores the role of hope in the life of the Christian disciple.
The Importance Of Luke 3, Patrick Russell
The Importance Of Luke 3, Patrick Russell
Obsculta
This paper attempts to show the literary and theological significance of the genealogy in Luke 3. Though the text can be read as merely something to convey facts; the textual placement and the theological themes at work within the genealogy in relation to Luke-Acts are not arbitrary. In light of the overall use of genealogies in the ancient near east this pericope becomes something far more dynamic than it might otherwise seem upon first glance.
Paul And Gender: Early Reception And Modern Implications, Phoebe Carstens
Paul And Gender: Early Reception And Modern Implications, Phoebe Carstens
Obsculta
Within Paul’s letters, there is a wealth of theological and ministerial material with a variety of implications and interpretations—what Paul seems to say about the position of women in the Church is the object of much debate. This piece highlights the ways in which Paul displays an openness to greater involvement of women in the Christian movement and a breaking of traditional female gender roles, yet simultaneously upholds rigid boundaries of marked gender distinction, thus mirroring a current stance of the Church today.
Conscience In The Catholic Church, Hang Geum Augustine Osb
Conscience In The Catholic Church, Hang Geum Augustine Osb
Obsculta
This paper deals with the topic of “conscience” in the Catholic Church. It explores the historical origins from the patristic and monastic traditions to the theologians in the medieval period and then also in the post-conciliar era through the lenses of canon law, catechism, and papal encyclicals. Finally, the author highlights the significance of conscience in monastic life as "mirror" of self-reflection.
The Art Of Silence In Waiting, Melissa Tovar-Guerrero
The Art Of Silence In Waiting, Melissa Tovar-Guerrero
Obsculta
This piece reflects on what can happen when we decide not to worry and elect to learn the art of remaining silent. Like any art, it requires time to learn how to skillfully apply it in our lives. This paper was written as a homily for the Synoptic Gospels class at the Saint John’s School of Theology and Seminary.
The Adaptation Of The Papacy Within The Church, Kristyn Demers
The Adaptation Of The Papacy Within The Church, Kristyn Demers
Obsculta
This short essay briefly details the changes within the Catholic Church's ecclesiology and its view of the papacy from its inception to the modern day. It focuses on the “witness” and “monarch” models that describe the structures of the church during the first and second millennia, and glances at the changes currently happening within the third millennium.
Monasticism And Christian Discipleship, Jacqueline Leiter Osb
Monasticism And Christian Discipleship, Jacqueline Leiter Osb
Obsculta
Christian discipleship is about following Jesus. This essay explores discipleship as described in the Rule of Benedict through the lens of four hallmarks of discipleship as described in the New Testament: 1) responding to a call, 2) abiding with Christ, 3) living in community with mutual love and service, and 4) taking up one’s cross and imitating Christ. It reflects on these hallmarks and their application for Christian discipleship today.

The Concept Of Suffering In Children Of Heaven: Analyzing The Differences And Similarities Between Augustine’S And Ibn Arabi’S Theodicy, Paulinus Daeli Osc
The Concept Of Suffering In Children Of Heaven: Analyzing The Differences And Similarities Between Augustine’S And Ibn Arabi’S Theodicy, Paulinus Daeli Osc
Obsculta
This article discusses the theodicy of Augustine and Ibn Arabi. Although these two theologians come from different traditions and backgrounds, they articulate that the realm of suffering in the human world can help us sharpen our faith in God. I use the movie Children of Heaven (by Majid Majidi) to parse the similarities and differences in their theologies. The symbols found in the movie show that the two theologies are related. This article explores the themes of human suffering in the movie and goes beyond a simple review.
Benedicta Riepp: An Analysis Of Structural Elements In Her Life, Mary L. Parks
Benedicta Riepp: An Analysis Of Structural Elements In Her Life, Mary L. Parks
Obsculta
Mother Benedicta Riepp struggled at a great personal cost for autonomy on behalf of North American Benedictine women. Her efforts ultimately led to the reshaping of the Benedictine tradition for women in the United States. This paper analyzes some of the most significant structural elements in Mother Benedicta’s life.
Is Your Computer Lying? Ai And Deception, Noreen L. Herzfeld
Is Your Computer Lying? Ai And Deception, Noreen L. Herzfeld
Reuter Professorship of Science and Religion Publications
Recent developments in AI, especially the spectacular success of Large Language models, have instigated renewed questioning of what remains distinctively human. As AI stands poised to take over more and more human tasks, what is left that distinguishes humans? One way we might identify a humanlike intelligence would be when we detect it telling lies. Yet AIs lack both the intention and the motivation to truly tell lies, instead producing merely bullshit. With neither emotions, embodiment, nor the social awareness that leads to a theory of mind, AIs lack the internal referents on which to judge truth or falsity. When …
The Relationship Between Marital Life And Celibacy In The Catholic Church, Saint-Gilbert Nortilus
The Relationship Between Marital Life And Celibacy In The Catholic Church, Saint-Gilbert Nortilus
School of Theology and Seminary Graduate Papers/Theses
Despite the inordinate number of debates on celibacy, there is still a widely-held notion that celibacy is a problem in the church which needs reform in relation to the status quo proposed by the twenty first century. This paper seeks to shed light on the topic by juxtaposing its reality with that of marriage in light of church teaching. Analyzing the works of Evert, Skudlarek, Salzmann and Kelly, this paper seeks to shine theological light on the reality of the priestly celibacy with the assertion that it is a reality not clearly outlined to the world and that this reality …
Opening The Frontiers For Vietnamese Theology: Dialogue, Ha Cao
Opening The Frontiers For Vietnamese Theology: Dialogue, Ha Cao
School of Theology and Seminary Graduate Papers/Theses
From a Vietnamese perspective, in this paper, I explore the cultural, economic, and religious context of Vietnam, to show why the way of preaching the gospel follows the mindset and logic of Westerners was unable to take deep root in the hearts of Vietnamese people. Alternatively, to put it a little more ambitiously, I want to find a way to do theology in Vietnam from awareness, thinking and from the seeds nurtured by Vietnamese martyrs. A true theology is not just an external shell, but is a science of spirituality, of thinking, of perception, of experiencing the Absolute within the …

Theorizing Social Movement Practices, Christopher Lomelín, Anna Peterson
Theorizing Social Movement Practices, Christopher Lomelín, Anna Peterson
The Journal of Social Encounters
This essay contributes to the systematic and expansive exploration of social movement practices by looking more closely at symbolic and instrumental practices, on the one hand, and works of mercy and structural transformation practices, on the other. The categories we have discussed, while far from perfect, provide valuable tools to understand social movement practices and thus movements in general. We argue that attention to practices can strengthen the systematic, comparative analysis of social movements both by calling attention to previously under-studied types of activities and by illuminating the relationships between different types of practices.

Solidarity And Ecumenism, John A. Radano
Solidarity And Ecumenism, John A. Radano
The Journal of Social Encounters
This article illustrates ways in which the modern ecumenical movement promotes solidarity among formerly divided Christian churches through ecumenical dialogue. It begins by recalling divisions which took place in the fifth, the eleventh, and the sixteenth centuries, breaking down unity and solidarity among Christians, and continuing since those times. It then shows the way in which the modern Ecumenical Movement, working to restore Christian unity, began early in the twentieth century through movements promoting cooperation in mission, in efforts of the churches to better society, and in resolving doctrinal divisions which have kept churches separated. It later became established in …
