Theology

The times are bad, but we are the times. (St. Augustine)

A lecture by a provocative French thinker, a convert from atheism, on why a world without God actually favors the decision for Christ
  • Why should we, as Christians, be grateful for the secular world today?
  • Can a person not only take their own life, but also sanctify it on their own?
  • What does it mean that, as Christians, we are called to bear witness?

"The most amazing thing about this Jesus-less world is that it no longer allows us to be satisfied with nice sermons and subtle piety, as it was the case in Christian times. This world demands from us a witness without exceptions, a witness of love unto death and a truth that controls soul and body. This world wants us to be living Christs in bodies for our neighbours. Modernity is our ally, postmodernity is not an obstacle."

Fabrice Hadjadj

Philosopher-artist… a French superstar of philosophy who breaks all the boxes.

He describes himself as „a Jew with an Arab name, of Catholic faith, speaking French."

Born in France to Jewish-Tunisian parents, he is a former atheist, a punk, and a fan of Nietzsche who, after his conversion, became one of the most original Catholic thinkers of our time.

Archbishop Charles Chaput has called him „one of the best Catholic minds of the last decades.”

In 2014, he was appointed a member of the Pontifical Council for the laymen.

He writes with fire, humor, and a deeply human perspective on everything from technology and sex to death, family, and the meaning of life.

Yes, this man’s journey is anything but not boring.
