A Tale of Two Enlightenments: Modern Image Versus Catholic Truth

The Roman Forum 2009 Symposium entitled "A Tale of Two Enlightenments:  Modern Image Versus Catholic Truth," will take place in Garone Riviera, Italy from July 2-13.  The application deadline is April 15.  For more information, click here.

Here is a taste of the topics to be addressed:

"A Tale of Two Enlightenments, one founded on the false modern image of itself, the other based on Catholic Truth, needs to be told in all its fullness. That tale has its roots in the Catholic revival of the High Middle Ages and the opposition and distorted imitation of its goals that Christian successes aroused. It is a tale that requires a discussion of everything of importance to human life: theology, philosophy, education, psychology, art and architecture, music, statecraft on the international and national level, family life, the errors of both the French as well as the Anglo-American Revolutions, and the twin evils of capitalism and communism."
