This document discusses Christian pacifism and nonviolence. It summarizes the views of Fr. John Dear, who argues that true Christians must follow Jesus' teachings of nonviolence and loving one's enemies. Dear believes any Christian who thinks violence can be justified has ceased to follow the Gospels. The document explores the origins and challenges of Christian pacifism, and addresses how pacifism relates to wider culture and objections to its practicality.

Class #15
Doctors must carefully consider withdrawing life support to avoid directly killing or prolonging life unnecessarily. Treatment should only continue if it provides proportionate benefits compared to the burdens, and is beneficial, useful, and required rather than disproportionate, burdensome, useless, or optional. Questions remain on whether removing feeding tubes constitutes directly killing or allowing to die that could impact views on cases like Nancy Cruzan's removal of her feeding tube in light of Catholic teachings.
Class #12
The document discusses various procedures involving stem cells and cloning including cloning for reproduction, cloning for medical treatments, embryonic stem cell research using IVF leftovers or specifically created embryos, and research using stem cells from miscarried fetuses. It asks which procedure is most morally problematic and how the Church would view it, and to consider the Church's objections to embryonic stem cell research and cloning and whether scientific advances could address these objections which involve complicity with evil.
Class #02
This document discusses several topics related to ethics and morality, including objectivism vs relativism, tolerance of believers vs sceptics, and the relationship between God and morality. It notes debates around the existence of moral absolutes and reviews arguments that moral relativism makes ethics incoherent and contradictory. It also outlines three components of ethical analysis: the action, intention, and consequences, and discusses how theology and ethics are connected through their common focus on the purpose of life.
Class #05
I. The document discusses Humanae Vitae, which addressed artificial birth control and concluded that it should not be used based on natural law. It also asks if artificial birth control can ever be used and compares natural family planning (NFP) to artificial contraception.
II. It explores different perspectives on birth control between Ruether & Heaney and the Pope. It discusses what is considered natural and different understandings of sex in marriage.
III. It questions whether Ann LeBlanc is a "bad Catholic" for potentially disagreeing with Church teaching on birth control and explores the relationship between authority, truth, and an informed conscience in regards to dissenting from Church doctrine.
Class #03
This document discusses four sources of Catholic Christian ethics: Scripture, natural law, tradition, and experience. It notes that Scripture provides the starting point but has limitations. Natural law reflects discernment of moral truths but is limited. Tradition involves Church teaching authority but is also limited. Experience, like a map, provides guidance but the terrain itself can differ. Together these overlapping sources provide a framework for deriving moral positions in the Catholic tradition.
Class #08
I. Indirect abortion occurs when a procedure to save the woman's life results in the fetus's death, whereas direct abortion is when a procedure is performed with the intent of killing the fetus to save the woman's life.
II. Mary Ann Warren argues that personhood begins after birth based on criteria like an individual's ability to regard itself as a distinct entity. She claims that killing a disabled newborn is not morally equivalent to killing a person and may not be wrong.
III. Warren's arguments place personhood after birth but raise questions about whether choice should be the sole consideration in the abortion debate.
Class #08
The document discusses different perspectives on personhood and abortion. It outlines common pro-life and pro-choice slogans, and explores assumptions behind these slogans. It also examines points in development that personhood may be attained, such as conception, birth, or after birth. The document references arguments that killing disabled infants or fetuses with disabilities is not wrong and can increase total happiness. It questions at what point a fetus or newborn becomes an individual capable of having a life of its own.
Cst presentation
This document outlines three foundational pillars of Catholic social teaching: dignity, community, and preferential option for the poor. It provides quotes and explanations for each pillar. Dignity refers to the inherent worth of every human being as created in God's image. Community emphasizes that human dignity can only be realized in relationship with others. Preferential option for the poor means assessing policies based on their impact on vulnerable populations and strengthening the whole community by assisting those most in need. The document stresses that these pillars should guide economic and political decisions.

The document discusses Christian pacifism and whether Christianity entails nonviolence. It examines Jesus' teachings in the Gospel of Matthew to "turn the other cheek" and "love your enemies" as well as how Christians should act as citizens with loyalty to both God and country. The document also looks at Christian pacifism in historical context, comparing the church before and after the Roman Emperor Constantine and whether Christians should conform to society or follow Jesus' radical teachings of nonviolence.

Homily: 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time 2017
“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Really? We have to love those that we fear? Those who are different from us? The ones who are strangers?
In the past few weeks there has been much written about the plight of the refugees. Politics aside, as Christians, we are called to live the Gospel…which is much harder than reading or preaching about it. So what does Jesus say in the Beatitudes? And how can Pope Francis, Brian McLaren and Leonardo DaVinci add some light on this hotly debated subject?

Pacifism: A Discussion Paper
The document discusses pacifism in early Christianity based on examples from the Bible and writings of early Christian leaders. It notes that while Christians faced violent persecution, there are no biblical examples of Christians using violence in self-defense. Many early Christian writers advocated nonviolence and turning the other cheek. The position of nonviolence shifted in the 4th century as Constantine and Augustine began justifying Christian use of violence. The document raises questions about how to apply teachings of nonviolence in dangerous scenarios.
A call to peace
This document calls the church to return to promoting peace and abandoning support for the military, as exemplified by the early church. It provides several quotes from early Christian writings that show Christians were persecuted yet taught peace, turning weapons into farming tools and refusing to fight even their persecutors. While acknowledging there will always be war, the document argues Christians should get involved only through loving and healing people affected, not aiding or justifying wars. It challenges the view that Christians can support "justified" wars and suggests modeling the early church as a culture of nonviolence and peace.
Jesus was judging non listeners
This is a study of Jesus judging non-listeners. If a sinning believer will not listen to his friends and the church he is to be treated like an unbeliever. Listen, repent, or you are out.

A sermon on John 15:18-16:4 delivered at Palm Desert Church of Christ (California) by Dale Wells on October 19, 2008
A Letter To Christopher Hitchens
1) The author writes a letter to Christopher Hitchens to discuss Christianity as Hitchens' life comes to an end. 2) The author acknowledges Hitchens' criticisms of Christianity but argues that Hitchens was actually longing for the truth, beauty, and goodness found in Jesus Christ. 3) The letter summarizes the Christian gospel - that humans are sinful but God sent Jesus, who lived a perfect life and died for sins, so that all may have eternal life through faith in Him.

• The Hundred List by Michael Hart, comparing Muhammad to Jesus Christ.
• St Francis ministry serving the poor, which was approved by Pope Innocent III and Pope Honorius III.
• How Dietrich Bonhoeffer was martyred by Adolph Hitler and the Nazis.
• How the famous books of Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship, condemns cheap grace.
• How Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Karl Barth were leaders in the Confessing Church that resisted the Nazi infiltration and cooption of German Christianity.
• Jimmy Carter’s reflections on the Vietnam War, Martin Luther King, and his battle against segregation, and the Historical Jesus movement.
• Jimmy Carter’s favor theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr, who wrote Moral Man and Immoral Society, a primer for the Christianity and politics.

DIETRICH BONHOEFFER QUOTES 1. Christianity without discipleshi.docx
DIETRICH BONHOEFFER QUOTES:
1. “Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.”
2. “When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.”
3. “Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession...Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.”
4. Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock. Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow, and it is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ. It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life.
5. “Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of our church. We are fighting today for costly grace.”
6. “God loves human beings. God loves the world. Not an ideal human, but human beings as they are; not an ideal world, but the real world. What we find repulsive in their opposition to God, what we shrink back from with pain and hostility... this is for God the ground of unfathomable love.”
7. “The first service one owes to others in a community involves listening to them. Just as our love for God begins with listening to God’s Word, the beginning of love for others is learning to listen to them. God’s love for us is shown by the fact that God not only gives God’s Word, but also lends us God’s ear. . . . We do God’s work for our brothers and sisters when we learn to listen to them."
8. "May we be enabled to say 'No' to sin and 'Yes' to the sinner.”
9. “We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.”
10. "In a world where success is the measure and justification of all things the figure of Him who was sentenced and crucified remains a stranger and is at best the object of pity. . . . The figure of the Crucified invalidates all thought that takes success for its standard.”
11. “The community of the saints is not an 'ideal' community consisting of perfect and sinless men and women, where there is no need of further repentance. No, it is a community which proves that it is worthy of the gospel of forgiveness by constantly and sincerely proclaiming God's forgiveness. ”
12. The first service that one owes to others in the fellowship consists of listening to them. Just as love of God begins with listening to his word, so the beginning of love for our brothers and sisters is learning to listen to them.
13. “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
14. “One act of obedience is worth a hundred sermons.”
15. “When all is said and done, the life of faith is nothing if not an unending struggle of the spirit with every available weapon against the flesh.”
16. Being a Christian is less about cautiously avoiding sin than about courageously and.
Communicating sexuality final
The document discusses Christian perspectives on sexuality, particularly homosexuality. It addresses the challenges of communicating Christ's call to discipleship while upholding biblical teachings on sexuality. It explores how Christians can respond to LGBT issues with empathy, humility and grace rather than coming across as judgmental. It also examines the relationship between sexuality, sin and holiness, arguing Christians should distinguish between sexual orientation and sinful acts. The goal is for Christians to understand sexuality in the context of their identity in Christ rather than feel defined by sexuality alone.
Earlychurchantisemitism
The document discusses how early Church fathers contributed to anti-Semitism by rejecting the Torah and interpreting scripture allegorically rather than literally. Figures like Origen of Alexandria, Justin Martyr, Ignatius, Tertullian, Eusebius, John Chrysostom, Jerome, and Augustine made statements condemning Jews and Judaism. Their teachings severed the Jewish roots of Christianity and promoted the idea that God had rejected the Jewish people. The Council of Nicea in 325 further separated Christianity from its Jewish foundations by adopting pagan customs and calendars. This alienated Jews from the faith and encouraged Christians to view Judaism negatively.

This document discusses the historical narratives and backstories that have been used to justify Christian conquest and violence against indigenous peoples. It describes how 15th century Spanish conquistadors interpreted prophecies to believe they were fulfilling God's plan in conquering lands and peoples in the Americas. The conquest had devastating impacts, reducing the native Taino population on Hispaniola from 300,000 to zero within decades. Similarly, conquests of North America framed indigenous peoples as the damned Canaanites being displaced by God's elect. The document critiques how such narratives have been used to justify violence and argues we must reconsider the stories we tell.

The conquest had devastating impacts, reducing the native Taino population on Hispaniola from 300,000 to zero within decades. Similarly, conquests of North America framed indigenous peoples as the damned Canaanites being displaced by God's elect. The document critiques how such narratives have been used to justify violence and argues we must reconsider the stories we tell.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Class #27
- 4. Nonviolence for Fr. John Dear is so integral to what it means to be a Christian, and what it means to be truly pro-life, that any Christian who thinks any kind of violence is justified has ceased to follow the Jesus of the Gospels. Dear says: “That’s what it means to be a Christian—to be a person of nonviolence.” How would you respond to what you just saw in this video in light of the other readings for Tuesday? vt
Editor's Notes
- Important to come to know the nonviolent Jesus Wisdom House = a SCHOOL of peace and nonviolence Culture of violence and war “ Gospel of Jesus is a call to become people of peace and nonviolence” World is a world of violence (lots of forms—poverty, hunger, sexism, environmental damage, capital punishment, nuclear weapons etc.) We’re surrounded by violence We’re people of violence Violence doesn’t work, violence always leads to further violence War doesn’t lead to peace—it always sows seeds for further wars War can’t stop terrorism, because war IS terrorism Nonviolence is breaking down the structures of violence Peaceful means peaceful future Begins with the truth that we’re all ONE—every human being is our sister and brother Nonviolence is active love, seeking the truth of our active unity No cause, however noble, for which we will support the taking of a single human life Have to begin with ourselves Billions of people around the world practice nonviolence Nonviolence is at the heart of our lives because JESUS WAS NONVIOLENT Jesus was actively nonviolent The only people who don’t know this are Christians If we’re going to follow him, we have to be nonviolent “ The most political teaching of all is to love your enemies” We make peace because we’re children of God and God is a God of peace Jesus goes to Jerusalem and confronts the institutions of violence via nonviolent civil disobedience And he forgives those who kill him Resurrects and says “Peace be with you” I don’t think you can be a Christian and make war or work for war To be a Christian is to be a follower of the nonviolent Jesus, and therefore to be a practitioner of nonviolence Spirituality of nonviolence—how do we cultivate interior peace and nonviolence How can we help the Church become a community of nonviolence God’s reign, which is at hand, calls us to create not war or poverty but all new kinds of structures and communities of nonviolence and love and justice
- Dear in the video Important to come to know the nonviolent Jesus Wisdom House = a SCHOOL of peace and nonviolence Culture of violence and war “ Gospel of Jesus is a call to become people of peace and nonviolence” World is a world of violence (lots of forms—poverty, hunger, sexism, environmental damage, capital punishment, nuclear weapons etc.) We’re surrounded by violence We’re people of violence Addiction to violence shown by assumption that violence works Violence doesn’t work, violence always leads to further violence War doesn’t lead to peace—it always sows seeds for further wars War can’t stop terrorism, because war IS terrorism Nonviolence is breaking down the structures of violence Peaceful means peaceful future Begins with the truth that we’re all ONE—every human being is our sister and brother Nonviolence is active love, seeking the truth of our active unity No cause, however noble, for which we will support the taking of a single human life Have to begin with ourselves Billions of people around the world practice nonviolence Nonviolence is at the heart of our lives because JESUS WAS NONVIOLENT Jesus was actively nonviolent The only people who don’t know this are Christians If we’re going to follow him, we have to be people of nonviolence “ The most political teaching of all: love your enemies. That’s what it means to be a Christian—to be a person of nonviolence.” Immediate dismissal of this claim might indicate to him just how ‘addicted’ we are to violence. We make peace because we’re children of God and God is a God of peace Jesus goes to Jerusalem and confronts the institutions of violence via nonviolent civil disobedience And he forgives those who kill him Resurrects and says “Peace be with you” I don’t think you can be a Christian and make war or work for war To be a Christian is to be a follower of the nonviolent Jesus, and therefore to be a practitioner of nonviolence Spirituality of nonviolence—how do we cultivate interior peace and nonviolence How can we help the Church become a community of nonviolence God’s reign, which is at hand, calls us to create not war or poverty but all new kinds of structures and communities of nonviolence and love and justice
