SUMMARY:Film Screening of Cabrini
DESCRIPTION:Join Campus Ministry\, the Center for Religion and Culture\, the Curran Center for American Catholic Studies\, and the Jesuit community at Fordham Rose Hill for a film screening of the movie Cabrini. The film depicts the life of a Catholic missionary sister from Italy named Francesca Cabrini\, who encounters resistance to her charity efforts in NYC. Cabrini explores the sexism and anti-Italian bigotry faced by Mother Cabrini and other immigrants in the United States—and in the Catholic Church itself—in the late 19th and early 20th century. Mother Cabrini died in 1917\, and in 1946\, she was canonized\, becoming the first American saint. In 1950\, she was named the Patroness of Immigrants.

SUMMARY:Sacred Landscapes: Memorialization in New York City Public Parks
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch event for A Breathing Place\, written by Amelia Medved\, the 2023–2024 Duffy fellow. There will be a presentation of Medved’s research and a light reception. \nPublic parks are the theater of New York City civic life\, serving as spaces of recreation\, rest\, learning\, and protest. They host the diverse\, occasionally conflicting desires of the living\, while simultaneously exhibiting a record of our shared public history. Medved’s research concerns the contemporary use of park memorial spaces in the Bronx\, Brooklyn\, and Manhattan\, specifically those that are consecrated burial sites. \nIn A Breathing Place\, Medved explores what it means to designate public space as sacred at four case study sites: the Prison Ship Martyrs Memorial in Fort Greene Park\, the Enslaved African burial ground in Van Cortlandt Park\, the public cemetery on Hart Island\, and the National September 11 Memorial at the World Trade Center. \nAbout the Speaker\nAmelia Medved\, FCRH ‘23\, majored in environmental studies and visual arts. She currently works as a studio assistant at SCAPE\, a New York City-based landscape architecture firm. Medved is passionate about environmental justice\, specifically with a focus on parks equity and community-based ecological stewardship.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Graphic Novelist and Student Madison Morris on Every Creeping Thing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation about the new graphic novel Every Creeping Thing. Madison Morris will give a brief presentation on the spiritual inspiration and ideas behind the story\, as well as the process of working on a long-form creative work as a Duffy fellow. The talk will be followed by a Q&A and a light reception. \nEvery Creeping Thing is the story of a petulant girl and the transformations she and her family undergo in the wake of the 1950 polio epidemic. On the highway between suburbia and the state hospital\, the family’s car gets a flat\, and they find themselves stranded. Carole and her brother wander into the timberlands alongside the highway\, where they encounter the uncanny: a world run by human-natured insects. Every Creeping Thing plays in the space between death and heaven\, fusing the natural with the unnatural to explore the experience of being a finite piece of an infinite creation. \nAbout the Author\nMadison Morris is a Fordham student majoring in theology and English with a concentration in creative writing. In her creative work\, she strives to create stories and images that allow readers to stay in a question instead of rushing toward an answer. \nThis event is open to alumni\, faculty/staff\, parents\, students\, and the public.

SUMMARY:Documentary Screening: Discerning the Call: Change in the American Priesthood
DESCRIPTION:When a man discovers a call to the priesthood today\, his process of discernment looks much different than it would have decades ago. In the past\, men entered seminary younger\, the application process was quicker\, and their friends and family usually celebrated the decision. Today\, the norm is much different. But why? \nIn this original documentary\, 2023–2024 Duffy Fellows Jay Doherty and Patrick Cullinan examine the cultural changes that have affected the American Catholic priesthood in the last 75 years. From the social and political upheaval of the 1960s and the clerical sex abuse crisis of the early 2000s to the modern embrace of secularism\, Discerning the Call: Change in the American Priesthood explores the many elements that have changed priestly discernment in the United States. \nThe documentary includes interviews with Cardinal Timothy Dolan\, archbishop of New York\, and Jesuit author James Martin\, SJ\, plus men ordained from the 1950s to the present day. \nAbout the Filmmakers\nPatrick Cullinan\, FCRH ‘24\, is in the Honors Program\, majoring in Latin and minoring in economics. He is deeply interested in Catholicism and its interaction with American culture\, having rediscovered the faith during his time at Fordham. \nJay Doherty\, FCRH ‘26\, is a sophomore studying digital technologies and emerging media and philosophy. He is a reporter for WFUV and serves as a University ambassador in the Rose Hill Society. Doherty is also the treasurer of Fordham’s Jesuit Network and the student representative of the University’s alumni association.

SUMMARY:El Niño at the Met: Opera\, Baby Jesus\, and Today’s Refugees
DESCRIPTION:The critically acclaimed opera is premiering at the Metropolitan Opera\, and director Lileana Blain-Cruz will join us for an evening of conversation on art\, faith\, and justice. There will be a special appearance by Daniela Mack\, the mezzo-soprano who will perform a selection from El Niño. \nA Christmas story at Easter time? That’s essentially what the Metropolitan Opera is doing in presenting the company premiere of John Adams’s El Niño. But the opera-oratorio’s focus on the experience of the refugee and the migrant—how they struggled to find acceptance in Biblical times—could not be more contemporary and urgent. \nThe composition incorporates sacred and secular texts in English\, Spanish\, and Latin—from biblical times to the present day—in an extraordinarily dramatic retelling of the Nativity. \nThe vivid new production also marks the Met debut of celebrated theater maker Lileana Blain-Cruz\, resident director at Lincoln Center Theater\, who joins us to talk about the opera and the importance of staging art that matters for our world today. She will be joined by Fadi Skeiker of Fordham Theatre and Fordham theology professor Leo Guardado. \nDavid Gibson\, director of the Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion with the panelists and the audience. \nBONUS: Five pairs of tickets for a performance of the opera will be drawn at random for attendees who sign up at the door\, and all Fordham students and faculty will be eligible for discounted tickets. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the Metropolitan Opera and the Church of St. Paul the Apostle.

SUMMARY:Yield Not: Hope and Communion in the Bronx’s Toughest Years
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by journalist Eileen Markey. \nIn the darkest days of the New York City fiscal crisis and its aftermath in the 1970s\, as faith in cities faltered\, Bronx activists argued for the worth of urban neighborhoods and the value of people living in them. In a time of disinvestment\, arson\, and abandonment\, it was community organizing—often marshaled through Catholic parishes and drawing on religious narratives—that demonstrated an alternate vision for the future of the city: rebuilding neighborhoods that had been written off as beyond redemption. \nIn this lecture and discussion\, Eileen Markey\, writer in residence at the Center on Religion and Culture\, will draw on research for her forthcoming book about the Bronx people’s movement of the 1970s and 1980s. \nAbout the Speaker\nEileen Markey is an assistant professor of journalism at Lehman College of the City University of New York and a visiting scholar at the Bronx County Historical Society. She has reported on urban policy and social movements for more than two decades. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Bronx County Historical Society as part of its annual Spring Lecture Series in Bronx History.

SUMMARY:Catholicism As Cultural History: The Enduring Legacy of John O’Malley\, S.J.
DESCRIPTION:John O’Malley\, S.J. (1927–2022) was an extraordinarily talented and devoted scholar\, writer\, teacher\, and Jesuit priest. The research of his early career helped recast our understanding of the Catholic response to the Reformation and the development of the Society of Jesus. The writings of the last 20 years of his long and prolific life—books and essays on church councils and Western culture—brought him new audiences beyond the academy. \nThe golden thread running through all of his work was the centrality of cultural history. This conference will highlight that legacy while expanding on the ways that O’Malley’s style can help us understand a more global and diverse Catholicism of the future. \nAnchored by a keynote address by Carlos Eire of Yale University\, the conference will feature panels on “Catholicism as Cultural History” and “Languages of Dialogue and Inclusion\,” and will include contributions from scholars Pamela Jones\, Mary Dunn\, Thomas Worcester\, S.J.\, Mary Ann Hinsdale\, Catherine Chaput\, and James McCartin. \nFordham’s Brenna Moore will offer concluding remarks\, to be followed by a wine-and-cheese reception. \nThis event is organized by the Center on Religion and Culture and is also made possible through the support of the Spellman Jesuit Community of Fordham\, the Fordham Division on Mission and Ministry\, and the Fordham History Department.

SUMMARY:Loving Strangers: How Would Such a Moral Code Reshape Our Lives?
DESCRIPTION:Social isolation and animosity are arguably the central challenges of our angry age. Can philosophy play a role in overcoming the affective\, social\, and political alienation that mark our communities today? \nMeghan Sullivan focuses her work on the ways philosophy contributes to the good life\, and she is currently writing a book on the role love plays in grounding moral\, political\, and religious reasoning. It is tentatively titled Samaritanism: Moral Responsibility and Our Inner Lives. In this year’s Daniel J. Sullivan Memorial Lecture\, she will expound on the central themes of this forthcoming book. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate a discussion after the talk\, including questions from the audience. \nAbout the Speaker\nMeghan Sullivan is the Wilsey Family College Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame. She is a popular writer and speaker and founded Notre Dame’s God and the Good Life Program\, which introduces undergraduates to essential philosophical questions concerning happiness\, morality\, and meaning\, and key methods for wrestling with them.

SUMMARY:Dracula: Medieval Hero and Modern Vampire
DESCRIPTION:Dracula—the vampire count—has been a popular cultural mainstay portrayed in films\, television shows\, novels\, and comic books for more than a century. The modern fascination with Dracula began in the 1920s and 1930s with the success of plays and movies based on Bram Stoker’s eponymous novel\, first published in 1897. \nThe events described in Stoker’s Dracula take place in fin-de-siècle London and Transylvania\, and the novel makes only loose historical references to its 15th-century namesake: Vlad III “the Impaler” (1431–c. 1476)\, prince of Wallachia\, now a region of Romania. The massive popularity of the fictional Dracula has generated considerable curiosity about the real-life prince himself\, his brutal reign\, and his times. \nIn this lecture\, Dr. Alice Isabella Sullivan will examine the transformations of the historical figure into a modern vampire and the tireless allure of Dracula for creators and audiences. \nPanelists \nAlice Isabella Sullivan is an assistant professor of medieval art and architecture and the director of graduate studies at Tufts University\, specializing in Eastern European and Byzantine-Slavic art history. She is the author of the recently published The Eclectic Visual Culture of Medieval Moldavia. \nDavid J. Goodwin\, the assistant director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture and the author of the forthcoming Midnight Rambles: H. P. Lovecraft in Gotham\, will moderate a conversation with the audience.

SUMMARY:An Integral Ethic of Solidarity: Cardinal Blase Cupich on the Enduring Legacy of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin
DESCRIPTION:Forty years after Cardinal Bernardin’s landmark speech at Fordham University in which he set out a “consistent ethic of life\,” his successor as Archbishop of Chicago continues to broaden the conversation first begun in 1983. \nThe timing of this talk could not be more propitious: Pope Francis has been promoting a “seamless garment” view of Catholic teaching throughout his decade-long pontificate\, arguing that all life is sacred and that Catholics cannot prioritize one issue at the expense of others. Moreover\, the Dobbs decision created a new landscape regarding abortion\, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is set to debate an updated version of its guide for Catholic voters ahead of next year’s elections. \nIn this talk\, Cardinal Blase Cupich will amplify the vision of both the pope and Cardinal Bernardin\, setting it in the contemporary American context and pointing toward a path beyond the culture wars. \nCardinal Cupich was appointed the ninth Archbishop of Chicago by Pope Francis in 2014\, and the pope elevated him to the College of Cardinals in November 2016. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate a discussion after the talk\, including questions from the audience.

SUMMARY:Questions on the Catholic Imagination(s): Screening of a Work in Progress
DESCRIPTION:What creates the unlikely pairing of Cardinal Timothy Dolan and artist Andres Serrano? One answer is “the Catholic imagination”—a deep-rooted sensibility shaped by the symbols\, images\, and rites that incarnate Catholicism’s beliefs and traditions. But does a distinctive Catholic imagination exist? Or are there varieties of Catholic imaginations? \nIn an original documentary in production\, Duffy Fellow Henry Sullivan\, FCRH ‘24\, explores these questions with a cast of believers and artists that includes Cardinal Dolan and Serrano\, along with Julia Yost (First Things)\, and Angela O’Donnell\, associate director\, Curran Center for American Catholic Studies\, among others. \nA conversation with the filmmaker and audience feedback will follow the screening. \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Pope Francis and Social Justice: Cardinal Michael Czerny\, S.J.\, Discusses His New Book
DESCRIPTION:Cardinal Michael Czerny\, SJ\, head of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development\, is the Curia’s chief promoter of the social justice ministry of Pope Francis\, a fellow Jesuit. \nCardinal Czerny will be discussing his latest book\, Siblings All\, Sign of the Times: The Social Teaching of Pope Francis. Written with Italian theologian Father Michael Barone\, this work traces the path of social justice that Pope Francis has laid out—a body of teaching that is both radical in responding to the dynamics of our era\, but also grounded in Catholic tradition and the Second Vatican Council. \nIn this discussion at the offices of America Media\, Cardinal Czerny will be joined by Christine Firer Hinze\, chair of Fordham University’s Department of Theology and author of Radical Sufficiency: Work\, Livelihood\, and a U.S. Catholic Economic Ethic\, and Anthony Annett\, visiting scholar at the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University and author of Cathonomics: How Catholic Tradition Can Create a More Just Economy. \nThe event will begin with a wine and cheese reception at 5:30 p.m.\, and the book discussion will begin at 6:15 p.m. Books will be available for sale. \nSpace is limited\, and a reservation is required. \nThis event is jointly organized with America Media.

SUMMARY:2023 Russo Lecture: 'Women and Youth: The Driving Force of Synodality'
DESCRIPTION:Nathalie Becquart\, X.M.C.J.\, is undersecretary of the Vatican’s Office on the Synod—which makes her the highest-ranking woman at the Vatican and a leader in promoting Pope Francis’ vision of a more “synodal” church marked by listening and learning and inclusivity. \nIndeed\, The New York Times called Sister Becquart “the nun reshaping the role of women inside the Vatican.” \nAt this evening event\, Sister Becquart will talk about how women and young people are the driving forces behind this push for a reinvigorated church\, and she will take questions from the audience gathered in the sanctuary. \nThis event relaunches the annual Russo Lecture series\, which was paused by the pandemic. \nA wine-and-cheese reception will follow.

SUMMARY:Voices from the Amazon: Activists on Protecting the Indigenous and Healing the Planet
DESCRIPTION:The fate of the Amazon rainforest is tied to the fate of our planet: The vast region touches eight different South American countries plus French Guiana and is home to more than 2 million indigenous peoples from almost 400 traditional nations. Moreover\, the health of Amazonia’s ecosystem is key to the ecological health of the entire world. \nIf nations can work in concert to protect at-risk human rights and rescue the unique biodiversity of the Amazon\, then we can make great steps in advancing social peace and the common good—as well as saving our common home. \nThis panel of distinguished religious leaders\, activists\, and theologians working to heal the Amazon will discuss the current crisis and prospects for change—and reasons for hope. Many of our speakers are in New York for the March 2023 United Nations Water Conference. \nPanelists \nPedro Barreto\, S.J.\, Archbishop of Huancayo in Peru\, is president of the newly created Ecclesial Conference of the Amazon (CEAMA) and a member of the Board of the Amazonic University Program (PUAM). He is an outspoken defender of human rights and the Amazonian environment and works closely with Pope Francis on these issues. \nPatricia Gualinga is widely known for her work as a defender of the human rights of the Kichwa People of Sarayaku\, an indigenous community in the Ecuadorian Amazon. She is also vice president of CEAMA and a member of the Amazonic University Program. \nFernando Ponce\, S.J.\, is president of the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador. He is a board member of AUSJAL\, the association of 30 Jesuit universities in Latin America. \nCarol Jeri is the human rights coordinator for Caritas\, the Catholic Church’s development and relief network in Madre de Dios in the Peruvian Amazon\, and a participant of the Human Rights School of the Panamazon Ecclesial Network (REPAM). \nChristiana Zenner is an associate professor of theology at Fordham University who writes widely on religious ecological ethics. She is the author of Just Water: Theology\, Ethics\, and Global Fresh Water Crises. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate a discussion with the audience. \nThis event is organized and co-sponsored by the Amazonic University Program (PUAM)\, which is part of the Ecclesial Conference of the Amazon (CEAMA)\, and the Association of Jesuit Universities in Latin America (AUSJAL).

SUMMARY:God and American Diplomacy

SUMMARY:Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author Ian Johnson on "China’s New Civil Religion: A Challenge and Opportunity for the West"
DESCRIPTION:When outsiders think of religion in China\, they tend to focus on persecution; for example\, Muslims in Xinjiang or Christians in many big Chinese cities. While that is true for some faiths\, China is in the midst of a religious boom\, one that the government is trying to use to further its grip on power. \nIn this lecture\, Ian Johnson\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Souls of China: The Return of Religion After Mao\, argues that as the Chinese Communist Party seeks to maintain its hold on power\, authorities are building something similar to the American “civil religion” that Robert Bellah described half a century ago. Johnson will discuss how Beijing is combining patriotism with local faiths\, especially Buddhism\, Taoism\, and folk religion. But\, he asks\, can authoritarianism and religious life coexist? What are the risks as the Beijing government embraces some religions while opposing others? \nThis presentation and audience conversation could not come at a more critical time\, as China is vying for prominence on the world stage with the United States while also keeping an eye on growing unrest at home. Both globally and domestically\, religion is once again at the center of questions about China’s future. \nJohnson lived and studied in China for more than 20 years and now works at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City\, where he researches social trends in China. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate a discussion after the talk\, including questions from the audience. \nThis event is co-organized with the U.S.-China Catholic Association.
