Conciliar Theology: From Trent to Vatican II
In this year’s grad colloquium, we will engage with the two great councils of the modern world: Trent and Vatican II. We will consider these two formative councils for the modern world and explore them as essential guides for understanding our salvation and justification, the nature of the human person, the meaning of the church church, the shape of the lay vocation, and the relationship between religion and freedom.
In exploring these two councils, we hope to deepen our understanding of Catholicism while considering ways to bring the faith to the world.
