The Pontifical University of St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth, invites you to an online theological symposium dedicated to the philosophy and theology of Vatican I. This event was postponed from April 2020
2020 marked the 150th anniversary of the First Vatican Council. While Vatican I is often remembered for its definition of papal infallibility, this Council also promulgated the Dogmatic Constitution on the Catholic Faith, Dei Filius, an incredibly important, but under-appreciated text. The online symposium spread over 3 different session on 3 consecutive days will consist of invited scholars presenting and offering commentary on the key issues of the text, The goal of the symposium will be to offer all those interested (including students, scholars, religious, priests, lay pastoral workers, etc.) an opportunity to immerse themselves in a seminal, but much neglected, text that explains the foundations of the Catholic faith.
