John Cardinal Cody Chair of Theology

鈥淲hen does a formulation of thought cease to be valid? When it loses sight of the human or even when it is afraid of the human or deluded about itself. The deceived thought can be depicted as Ulysses encountering the song of the Siren, or as Tannh盲user in an orgy surrounded by satyrs and bacchantes, or as Parsifal, in the second act of Wagner鈥檚 opera, in the palace of Klingsor. The thinking of the church must recover genius and better understand how human beings understand themselves today, in order to develop and deepen the church鈥檚 teaching.鈥� Pope Francis, Interview with America Magazine, 2013

Mission Statement

The scholarship undertaken and supported by the John Cardinal Cody Endowed Chair of Theology seeks to address the concerns articulated by Pope Benedict XVI in his address to the Jesuits in 2008. This scholarship falls under the following foci:

  • The dialogue within the Roman Catholic Church regarding the meaning of its central symbols and doctrines and regarding the meaning of what constitutes a truly human life;
  • The dialogue between the Roman Catholic Church and other confessions within Christianity;
  • The dialogue between the Roman Catholic Church and the great world religions;
  • The dialogue between the Church and the secular world;
  • The dialogue between theology and the sciences.

Each of these dialogues is of great importance in our current cultural moment. For ours is a time of pluralism—a time not only of a pluralism of the various confessions within Christianity, but of pluralism within the Roman Catholic Church; a time not only of an increasing awareness of religious pluralism, but a time in which the Christian understanding of what constitutes a truly human life is no longer self-evident and in which various secular understandings of human flourishing contend with that of the Christian faith; a time of pluralism in approaches to our understanding of the world and of the place of human beings within the world. The John Cardinal Cody Chair seeks to examine issues of import within each of these foci through the Cody Lecture and seminars and colloquia offered throughout the academic year.
