First week: Many anniversaries in 2018. End of WWI in 1918. Czar in Russia and family assassinated. 200th anniversary of Karl Marx’s birth. We have a sense our culture is in crisis. Catholics are experiencing closings of schools, hospitals, shortage of priests.
Uses “Introduction to Christianity” by Cardinal Ratzinger (Benedict XVI)
Week 2 uses Genesis—a radical text.
Week 3, the liturgy and mass, true worship of God
Week 4, The church, the call to communion, uses Ratzinger’s 1991 book, “Called to Communion,” compilation of his speeches
Week 5, Death. Uses “Eschatology,” 1997, by Ratzinger, his last major work as a theologian. The Kingdom of God is the fundamental teaching of Jesus—it is Christ. Eternal life starts now. The door to mercy is through repentance.
