Catholic theology

You can say, well, well, if they did that and that still is part of their church, why did they sign this doctrine? Well, the Catholic Church knew what was fixing to take place.

And they wanted to reassure them that the churches who broke away from the Roman Catholic Church during the Reformation period that are here today still follow the Roman Catholic doctrine.

Evil.

That's what they're wanting.

Oh, Andrew Jordan is the director, and Abraham is another colleague from the Institute that are here.

We had a fabulous three-day conference, and the title of the conference was Quantum Science and Technology, Philosophy, and Catholic Theology.

So that was a conference really dedicated to an in-depth analysis of what we are talking about today, but... from the point of view of Catholic theology.

So it was not about science, it was about quantum, and it was not about all religion, it was about theology.

So if you want a subset of both cases, but the conversation was about what is the relation? And we discussed why and how you can actually consider our theology consistent, not only consistent with recent discoveries, but also supported in some way by our recent physical discoveries, which in the world of quantum are absolutely astonishing.

I attended Santa Clara University and obtained my bachelor's degrees in electrical engineering and physics.

And then I went off to study astrophysics and did my thesis in astrophysics at the University of California, Irvine.

So for those of you who do not know who the Jesuits are, for those who are not Catholic, the Jesuits are an order of priests founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola in 1540, and their tenets are poverty, the obedience to Catholic theology, but also education.

All right, so...

First of all, the title of my presentation is I term the Reformational Theology as Catholic Theology.

In other words, The idea is that the reformed doctrine or the reformed tradition or protestant tradition, when you call people protestants, we should actually think of protestantism or the term protestant as a misnomer.

But before I begin, by the way, I thought I should note that I have been stereotyped by the church.

If I use a big term, I'll go ahead to explain it.

Amen? Alright.

So, Reformation and theology as Catholic theology.

So, the idea behind this is simply that the idea of being Protestant is a misnomer, right? It's just like how during the Protestant tradition, during the Protestant Reformation, names would usually be used and Those names were usually used by their dissenters, and so the Catholics would refer to the Protestants as, you know, to the Reformed or the Reformers as Protestants, right? Since they were protesting Catholic doctrine.

And their operational model is a direct challenge to the false dichotomy we discussed at the beginning of the show.

They are offering a Bachelor of Arts in Catholic Studies paired directly with intense, rigorous trade training.

That is wild.

Their students are quite literally taking classes in theology and philosophy while simultaneously training in carpentry, HVAC, electrical, or plumbing.
