Theological Adult Education Vatican-Style

May 22, 2008

The Vatican’s Congregation for the Clergy periodically schedules talks or “conferences” on theological topics for priests around the world.  The Vatican has recently published many of these talks and responses online at Congregation for the Clergy – Teleconference.

Although the target audience generally consists of priests, lay people can also benefit from viewing these presentations.  In fact, these talks provide a unique glimpse into current thinking at the Vatican.

Categories for the talks are varied and include the following:

  • Christology
  • Ecclesiology
  • Trinitarian
  • Moral Theology
  • Church and Women
  • Bioethics
  • Resurrection
  • Marriage and Family
  • The Lay Faithful
  • Church and State
  • Preaching
  • Papal Magisterium
  • Economy

There are many more topics available.  Each topic includes presentations by noted experts from around the world, and usually an introduction and conclusion. Although many of these are not light reading, they can be very thought-provoking.
