Bryan N. Massingale\, S.T.D. DESCRIPTION:“They Do Not Know It and Do Not Want to Know It”: Racial Ignorance\, James Baldwin\, and the Authenticity of Christian Ethics\nThe Rev. Bryan N. Massingale\, S.T.D.\nJames and Nancy Buckman Chair in Applied Christian Ethics \nWriting in the 1960s\, James Baldwin declared that a central obstacle to achieving racial justice was the racial majority’s willful and cultivated ignorance of the situation facing people of color. Yet this kind of “ignorance” has not been critically examined in Catholic moral theology. This lecture explains the conceptual and race-based obstacles that hindered this engagement and the social consequences of this omission. It will also detail how key concepts in Christian ethical reflection will have to be reconfigured by the faith community and its scholars if they are to answer Baldwin’s challenge and become an effective force for racial justice in the United States. \nA reception in the Keating Hall Rotunda immediately follows the lecture. \nRSVP online by Tuesday\, February 13\, 2018.

Walton Lecture in Science\, Philosophy\, and Religion at Fordham University. \nGuy Consolmagno is a planetary scientist\, the director of the Vatican Observatory\, and president of the Vatican Observatory Foundation. He is the author of over 200 scientific publications\, and several popular books including Would You Baptize an Extraterrestrial? (with Paul Mueller\, SJ) and Turn Left at Orion (with Dan Davis). He has hosted science programs for BBC Radio\, has been interviewed in numerous documentary films\, has appeared on The Colbert Report\, and writes a monthly science column for The Tablet. He is the 2014 recipient of the Carl Sagan Medal from the American Astronomical Society. \nLogic and reason must always start with assumptions\, and the assumptions behind science are\, at their root\, religious assumptions. Our core beliefs not only determine how we expect the universe to work; they also and just as importantly supply the motivation for the science we do\, and indeed they determine why we as individuals choose to be scientists. The nature of how we understand this relationship\, however\, has changed radically from the time of Galileo\, when science was still being invented; and that change continues to this day\, as can be seen in the way Pope Francis has blended science and faith in his recent encyclical Laudato Si’. \nA reception immediately follows the lecture. \nRSVP online by Monday\, February 19\, 2018.
