RECENT CLASS SUMMARY — In September and October, the topic for study was Moral Theology. We referenced the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) for much of our class discussion. The CCC is the compilation of Catholic Church teachings and is the go-to resource for teaching the Catholic Faith. For centuries, Theologians guided by the Holy Spirit have been building on one another’s insights on scripture and tradition to develop the CCC. An example in class that I found interesting was that early Christian theologians would often reference 3 things when determining moral theology questions, 1) Scripture, 2) Knowledge of that time period and 3) the lives of the Saints. In October, I was fortunate enough to make a Pilgrimage to Italy again and visit the home of the most well-known Catholic Saint, Saint Francis of Assisi.
WHATS NEXT — In November, we will study Canon Law and will be installed by our Bishop as an Acolyte. The completion date for Deacon formation is set for next year, June 3, 2023. For a complete list of classes and to check my progress toward completion click Here. Thanks for checking out my post!
