Annotation:

The current states claim to be secular and do not want to be tied to any religious affiliation. What should the response of Catholic political philosophy look like? One group of theologians dismisses the secular world as an enemy of Catholicism, while the other, on the other hand, sees no contradiction between Catholicism and secularism. In the healthy middle ground between the two extremes stands Thomas Aquinas. And we should stand there too. St. Thomas can teach us how to be homo politicus, who is with his essence in the world, but by grace is not of the world. An intellectually fresh and rhetorically brilliant lecture for discerning Christians (not only) who also want to understand what the faith calls for in the political arena.

Lecture topics:

  1. How does God's grace work in man?
  2. What should be the relationship between reason and faith?
  3. What should be the relationship between the Church and the State?
