Kyle and Deacon Conque talk this week about the meaning that springs forth from combining the terms 'Classical' and 'Catholic' and why it's so important to our mission at John Paul the Great Academy.
We apologize for the late post this week due to Hurricane Ida. (And the background noise that couldn't be filtered out.)
Show Notes and Outline of Topics
Quote from Pope St. John Paul the Great, Crossing the Threshold of Hope. "To accept the Gospelโs demands means to affirm all of our humanity, to see in it the beauty desired by God, while at the same time recognizing, in light of the power of God himself, our weaknesses: โWhat is impossible for men is possible for Godโ (Lk 18:27)."
1. Pondering how to teach in a classical and Catholic way
๐ it's all about the Incarnation!
๐ beyond being a model, education and learning is communal
๐ because of the Incarnation, the classical worldview is the most fitting worldview to make Catholicism accessible
๐ the importance of St. Thomas Aquinas, the universal doctor, a great model of what it means to be a classical Catholic
๐ classical education as bringing back together what was rendered asunder by the Original Sin
๐ lex orandi, lex credendi applied to education
๐ the liturgical dimension of education
2. Classical vs. Traditional
๐ tradition as what is handed on
๐ classical as what participates in the fullness of time
๐ to be Catholic is to be traditional
๐ education is impoverished to the extent to which it does not hand on a tradition
๐ highest expression of tradition is the sensus fidelium, the deposit of faith
๐ highest expression of classical worldview is the virtue of religion, justice applied to God
3. Crossing the Threshold of Hope
๐ Be not afraid to live out our baptism heroically, daily for what is impossible for man is possible for God
๐ order our homes by what is eternal
๐ Strive for the docility for fullness
