![The Catholic Understanding of Justice]()
Lecturer: Anthony Francois, Founding Board Member
Location: Gabrielli Hall
What is Justice? Where do we find the answer? Is justice an individual trait, or something that only belongs to social organizations and conditions? How does one become a just person? Join us for an inquiry into the meaning of justice and why it is described as one of the four cardinal virtues, with some help along the way from the Western tradition's most valuable writers on the topic.

Lecturer: John S. Hamlon, Faculty
Between 1979 and 1984, Pope John Paul II gave Wednesday Audience talks on thoroughly surprising topics: the original unity of man and woman, the sacrament of marriage, imaging God as a “communion of persons,” celibacy for the Kingdom, Humanae Vitae, etc. Collectively, those talks became known as the Theology of the Body.

![Chesterton, Dante, and the Disciplines of Lent]()
Lecturer: Joseph Moore, Headmaster

The repentant sinners, choosing to endure the sufferings they require to be freed from their slavery to sin, illustrate the joyful Catholicism to be practiced during Lent. This joy is not only evident in G.K. Chesterton, but also embraced by our Academy.
