Jesus meets Aristotle

Dear OL of the Assumption Parishioners and Friends;

Our evening of good food, fellowship and lectures of Philosophy and Catholicism called Jesus meets Aristotle is back. Hard to believe but it has been almost 3 years already of our critical analysis here. This time, I would like to propose a topic: Philosophical roots of WOKEism and Critical Theory. We would try to see of how Michel Foucault or Jacques Deridda as much as Herbert Marcuse or Bernie Sanders influence so deeply last 30 years literally hijacking the development of our youngest ones to some almost diabolical Social Experiments. Deconstructionism and Post – modernism are not easy to track or understand, but as Catholic children of XXI century we need to engage, defuse and offer life – giving and creative counterarguments based on “New Metaphys-ics of Hope” and genuine Christian joy. Easier said than done? Come and see! These and many more topics we would like to talk about at Jesus meets Aristotle Pre – Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner on Thursday, November 19th in the Parish Hall. We will start serving dinner at 6:30 PM and the lecture at 7 PM. Water, soda and coffee will be available, if you prefer an-other beverage, please feel free to BYOB. RSVP is required by calling Lisa at the parish office, 203-333-9065 or by email lreed@olaffld.org no later than Friday, November 13th with your name and the number of people attending. A free will offering will be taking up to help de-fray the cost of the dinner.
