Domine ut Videam

Thought you all would find these fun. :)

Last year, Junior year in HS, I took these.

[b]Christology and Discipleship[/b]

This course studies the person and mission of Jesus Christ. The course explains the Catholic understanding of Jesus from apostolic times to the present. Instruction focuses on key aspects in his life including teachings and miracles. The Passion and Resurrection of Jesus and their eternal significance are highlighted. The course also discusses how Jesus has been understood and engaged with humankind over the last two millennia. Students are expected to complete individual / collaborative assignments and projects.

[b]Ecclesiology and Sacraments[/b]

This course studies the nature and mission of the Catholic Church. The course focuses on the Church's identify as the physical incarnation of the Mystical Body of Christ. The course discusses the role of the Church in salvation history using the Dulles' models as a source of structure and insight. Emphasis is placed on what it means to be a good son or daughter of the church. Students are expected to complete individual / collaborative assignments and projects.


And this year, Senior year I am taking these:

[b]Advanced Morality[/b]

The course offers the student a rich, life-giving, enlightening understanding of the Christian moral life as a response in grace to the mystery of Jesus Christ. Instruction focuses in greater depth, insight, and specificity of the moral tradition of the Catholic faith. Students are expected to learn how to ethically engage the postmodern culture and to learn to live an authentic and transfigured life of holiness. Students are expected to complete individual/collaborative assignments and projects.

[b]Catholic Doctrine As Apologetic[/b]

The course provides the student with the opportunity to be able to articulate the Church’s position on a number of topics, as well as, the rationale why the Church teaches as She does. Instruction focuses on Christian Apologetic: the existence of God, the Trinity, the Divinity of Christ, the saving value of the life, death, and Resurrection of Christ and Catholic Apologetic: the authority of the Church and the Magisterium, the difference between Catholic and Protestant views of the Church and Scripture, survey of religious cults and sects, and a comparative study of major world religions. Students are expected to complete individual / collaborative assignments and projects.

Oh and this one just for fun this year as well :P:

[b]Religious Themes in Film[/b]

The course provides an opportunity for students to view and discuss films, which have the potential to challenge them with important moral and religious questions, as well as inspire them with beautiful and artistic portrayals of the struggles of the human condition. Students will be taught to see beyond the basic entertainment value of each film, in order to penetrate more deeply into the underlying themes and issues which films invite the viewer to explore. Students will be invited to enter into a creative and fruitful dialogue between faith and contemporary culture. Films will be carefully selected according to their artistic, ethical, cultural, and spiritual merits. Special emphasis will be placed on helping the students to discern the common human and religious themes, which give these movies their importance and enduring relevance as works of art and culture. The students will also hopefully come away with a keener perception for seeing "seeds" of the gospel in contemporary culture. Students are expected to complete discussion papers, reading quizzes, unit exams, and class presentations as assigned.
