Hellwig, Ph.D. , in Examining the Catholic Intellectual Tradition Sacred Heart University Press, 2000  \nSACRED HEART UNIVERSITY FAIRFIELD, CONNECTICUT  \nSacred Heart University Mission Statement  \nSacred Heart University is a coeducational, independent, comprehensive  \ninstitution of higher learning in the Catholic intellectual tradition whose primary objective is to prepare men and women to live in and make their contributions to the human community.  \nThe Catholic Intellectual Tradition  \nA 2000-year-old “conversation” between the Church and the world, a dialogue between the Christian community of believers and the culture in which it finds itself.  \nWhile the tradition is broader and older than the university, in large part the Catholic university has served as the steward of this“conversation,” preserving, transmitting and developing it by engaging the questions and challenges of its own time and place.  \nThe Catholic Intellectual Tradition  \n■ Content: classic treasures tobe cherished, studied and handed on.  \n■ A way of doing things that is the outcome of centuries of experience, prayer, action, and critical reflection.  \nContent: a treasury of classic “texts”  \nThe Catholic intellectual tradition cherishes, develops, and employs a valuable treasury of “texts” that are worth preserving: written texts, musical texts, art, customs and rituals, and modes of thought, expression and action— “finished products” that need to be maintained, supported, and explored. The Catholic intellectual tradition is committed to introducing new generations to these texts.  \nContent: a treasury of classic “texts”  \n􀂃 Scriptures 􀃆 elaborated in commentaries and the treasures of Christian imagination in art and literature  \n􀂃 Formulations of faith 􀃆 elaborated in theology, catechesis, religious drama, fiction, poetry  \n􀂃 Natural sciences 􀃆 integration of human knowledge with the claims of faith  \n􀂃 Prayer 􀃆 spirituality: rules for living, devotions, hagiography (lives of the saints: role models), pilgrimages, etc.  \n􀂃 Rituals 􀃆 music, art, and architecture  \nThe Catholic Intellectual Tradition  \n■ Content  \n■ A way of doing things: a way of approaching knowledge that is the outcome of centuries of experience, prayer, action, and critical reflection There are values and principles that “shape” the tradition (as opposed to prescriptive characteristics that “define” Catholic) . These values and principles are “characteristically Catholic” while, at the sametime, shared by many religious traditions.  \nNOTE: Offense is sometimes taken at the term“characteristically Catholic” because it seems to suggest that Catholicism is trying to take credit for anything and everything that is good—implying a superiority to other religious traditions.“Characteristically Catholic” does not mean“uniquely Catholic.” Catholicism shares many values and principles with other traditions, e.g. ,  \n􀂃 Hinduism is profoundly sacramental in its understanding (although it does not use that the term) .  \n􀂃 Judaism emphasizes the continuity of faith and reason.  \n􀂃 Islam stresses the communal nature of life; the responsibility to use one’s gifts for the community.  \n􀂃 The Quaker and Presbyterian traditions have much to teach Catholics about social responsibility.  \nA “way” of approaching knowledge  \nAway of dealing with experience and knowledge in order to acquire true wisdom, live well, and build good societies. Values and assumptions include:  \n􀂃 Human life has meaning, which meaning can be known.  \n􀂃 The basic principles of moral right and wrong are given and not humanly invented.  \n􀂃 The deliberately fostered yearning for communion with the ultimately Transcendent is in some way connected with the way we relate to one another.  \n􀂃 In the person of Jesus of Nazareth we have an utterly trustworthy in","cbCaidOtKCXVhKKc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidOtKCXVhKKc","pdf",75699,26,"English","# Sacred Heart University context\n## Mission statement\n## The Catholic Intellectual Tradition as a dialogue\n# Content of the tradition\n## Treasury of classic texts\n## Scriptures, faith formulations, and natural sciences\n## Prayer, spirituality, and rituals\n# The way of approaching knowledge\n## Values and assumptions\n## Markers of the approach\n# Values and shared principles across traditions\n## “Characteristically Catholic” explained\n## Examples from other religious traditions","[{\"question\":\"What is the Catholic intellectual tradition described as?\",\"answer\":\"It is presented as a 2000-year “conversation” between the Church and the world, and a dialogue between Christian believers and the surrounding culture.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the presentation list as the tradition’s main content?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights a treasury of classic “texts,” including scriptures, formulations of faith, natural sciences, prayer and spirituality, and rituals such as music, art, and architecture.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the key values behind the Catholic “way” of approaching knowledge?\",\"answer\":\"The presentation emphasizes continuity of faith and reason, cherishing cumulative wisdom, an inclusive non-elitist outlook, communal goals and methods, and scholarship as integration of knowledge.\"}]","The Catholic Intellectual Tradition - Sacred Heart University | PDF",1790653051,66]
