TH380 Liturgy & Sacraments

Prerequisite: TH 105 or equivalent This course is the disciplined exploration of the liturgical tradition and sacramental theology of the Catholic Church, centered upon the examination of magisterial documents, including important encyclicals, liturgical texts (ancient and modern), and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Additionally, the course seeks to provide a critical evaluation of the modern era and its mindset from the vantage point of the worship of the one, true God. To realize this latter aim, the course will utilize important liturgical theology of recent thinkers (e.g., Benedict XVI and Aidan Nichols, O.P.).
