LAS 298 - Catholicism and Cultures
This course seeks to provide a critical understanding and appreciation of Catholicism vis-à-vis the diversity of cultures. Guiding our study of the relationship between Catholicism and cultures is the basic idea or assumption that Catholicism, as a religious and/or spiritual path, has always found some form of cultural expression-be it a dominant or a marginal one. More specifically, our study will explore key cultural or local theologies that have impacted and continue to guide the way we understand and celebrate Catholicism. Also, we will pay close attention to our contemporary and diverse U.S. cultural expressions that critique, confront and inform our very understanding of Catholicism. In keeping with the learning goals of the sophomore seminars, this course will include, along with the “common text”, selective readings that highlight the intercultural nature of the curriculum.
