Author Topic: On-Line Catholic Philosophy Circles (Read 463 times)

I have been accepted and will start a four year program and the undergraduate level in philosophy. Because of funding realities I was limited to going to a provincially funded public university here in British Columbia. However, I believe in philosophy we can talk about just about anything, so I wanted to get connected with on-line Catholic philosophical circles so that I can build the catholic component in to my studies.

Would you be able to refer me to some of the circles you may know.

St Thomas Aquinas. Tan books will have good Catholic Material.

thank you Viva Cristo Rey. I will make note of them. these sources are very important. Because of limited funding I have to go to a public university with a secular approach to philosophy...and that is better for me than not having a chance at all, so I can weave in the sources such as yours. Thomas Aquinas is very key...so thank you.

You'd be better off dropping the public course and investing the money in a good collection of Catholic books.

Your sensus Catholicus is very weak and there aren't enough properly educated people "chatting" on the internet about these topics for that to be your go-to. You don't develop your Catholic sense by polling the audience and you certainly don't get there by registering for courses at secular universities.

You seem to have plenty of time to devote to study, so ask for some book recommendations and then go read them. It's a much safer route than picking and choosing which internet posters enhance your personal idea of Catholicism and which do not.

Actually, I am hoping to weave Catholic books into the formal framework of studies...I do find that people who are involved with forums provide subjective perspectives which sometimes balance academic, theological or dogmatic talk ...

The sensus catholicus thing and posters enhancing my personal ide of catholicism is a very good point...I will reflect on that..

Thanks so much Mater Dominic.
