http://pcseminary.blogspot.com/2016/09/401-sacraments.html

Introduction

People’s Catholic Seminary invites you to contemplate our sacred story, past, present and future. We offer an in-depth study of the history of the sacraments and the ongoing evolution of both theology and rites. In the 21st Century we are living a new story of mutual partnership and spiritual equality in the community of the baptized.

The primary text for the course is Deconstructing Sacramental Theology and Reconstructing Catholic Ritual by Joseph Martos. Drawing upon his decades-long study of the sacraments, Martos reveals how teachings that seemed rooted in the scriptures and Catholic life have become unmoored from the contexts in which they arose, and why seemingly eternal truths are actually historically relative. He concludes, “Medieval Catholic theology of sacraments, although plausible in its day, is no longer acceptable.”

Other supplemental materials for the course will include YouTube Videos from Busted Halo: Sacraments 101. Course reflection questions for each sacrament focus on the Church's sacred heritage and your lived experience of the spiritual evolution of sacraments.

Dr. Bridget Mary Meehan, ARCWP
