This week on The Open Door, Catholic panelists Jim Hanink, Mario Ramos-Reyes, and Christopher Zehnder discuss with Dr. Andrew Cummings teaching philosophy at the oldest seminary in the West, Mt. Angel Seminary, Oregon. And, of course, we’ll explore what’s being taught, from the classics to the contemporary. Our special guest is Prof. Andrew Cummings. He received his PhD from the University of Leuven, Belgium. His research centers on topics in philosophical theology, metaphysics, and the history of ideas. It comes alive in articles like “Don Quixote Meets Mr. Gradgrind: A Neglected Proof for Immortality” (Logos), and it brings us into the quest for dialogue with our cultured (or not) critics. Among the questions we’ll ask are the following. Please feel free to add your own!Prof. Cummings, Andrew if we may, could you tell us a bit about yourself?How did you come to teach and Mt. Angel Seminary? And how does the Benedictine Tradition shape your institution?You wrote a book (Thinking God) with your father. What was that like? Were there “philosophical differences” between the authors?Joe Friday, of Dragnet fame, was fond of saying “Just the facts, Ma’am.”But aren’t facts value laden? And aren’t some values themselves facts?Are we metaphysical animals?Metaphysical or not, animals die. What do you make of Karol Wojtyla’s observation, in his Person and Community, that the immanent good of our actions endure? He writes that  “Not only do the traces of it that have remained in  human culture themselves defy death, for they live on and re-enliven ever new men and women, but they also seem to call for the immortality—and perhaps even testify to the personal immortality—of the human being.”The American Solidarity Party, increasingly known in Catholic circles, presents itself as in the tradition of Christian Democracy. Its leaders make use of natural law arguments that emphasize the common good. Is such an enterprise quixotic or prophetic? Or is it simply “right reason in acting”? Was Martin Luther King, Jr., ill-advised to appeal to natural law reasoning in his “Letter From Birmingham Jail”? Was Dorothy Day ill-advised to speak about sacrificial love in the public square?What is at stake in the virtue of civic friendship? Can you tell us about some of your current projects?

Morning Blend Guest: Mt Angel Seminary Benefit

Jarod Goff

To Reopen The Sacred Fountains of Inspiration: An Interview With Dr. Jarod Goff, Adjunct Professor at Mt. Angel Seminary, On St. Francis And His Life. We often pigeonhole St. Francis in an individualistic manner, either as a Superstar Saint none of us can be like, or  Medieval hippie. Dr. Goff disabuses us of this notion of St. Francis, and points out how the reform of St. Francis is Pauline, Marian, and before anything else, after the Heart of Jesus Christ. We also reprise an oldie-but-goodie Great Moments in Church History in honor of St. Francis!
