Micah Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Haha yep, and it's taught by a Spanish guy who recommends the RSV. So I suspect he's Catholic leaning.

incarnatewordsister Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Congrats! It is exciting. I have a degree in Spanish Literature. And I got to take my bible to school a few times when we read Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross and others. Sometimes I take for granted working in an all Catholic environment. And ten i remember the days of old at my secular college...UT System. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not to be made over to secular or inappropriate use, even though they may belong to private persons." [Canon Law 1171] While this reference does not state that religious objects should be burned or buried, it states that such objects should be treated with reverence. Accordingly, following the tradition of our ancestors, the Catholic Church has always commanded that broken objects, worn out objects, torn liturgical clothing, etc... should be buried or burned as the means of disposal.

IgnatiusofLoyola Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) [quote name='JoyfulLife' timestamp='1283831342' post='2169051'] I don't understand. Is this a secular college history class? And they ask for the Bible? Awesome! [/quote] I also think it's wonderful, but maybe not THAT unusual. I was a history major at a VERY secular school and we read the Bible in at least one history class that I remember, maybe more than one class. We also read from church scholars such as St. Augustine (not books about St. Augustine, but translations of his writings). And, moving on to to medieval times and the Renaissance, the writings of Church scholars of the time were important texts for the classes. In fact, the Catholic church was an important force in virtually every stage of history--at least after the time of Christ. I also took "The Bible as Literature," (an English class), so obviously, the Bible was our main text in that class. And, I didn't even take any religion classes--I'm sure it would have been standard in those. Edited September 10, 2010 by IgnatiusofLoyola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
