    Fearless Mercy: Aquinas beyond Aristotle

    Lecture by Professor John O'Callaghan of Notre Dame University

    Loyola Institute, Trinity College — Monday March 7th 2016

    Fearless Mercy...Aquinas lecture

    World expert on Thomas Aquinas Professor John P. O’Callaghan from the University of Notre Dame spoke at the Loyola Institute TCD last night as one of the events to celebrate the Jubilee Year of Mercy declared by Pope Francis.

    Aquinas may have lived more than 700 years ago, but according to Professor O’Callaghan: “We Thomists don’t study Aquinas merely because we find his thought historically interesting, although it is. We study it because we think lasting truth is to be found there.” Professor John P. O’Callaghan spoke onAquinas’s perspective on mercy “One is most like God not when one fears for oneself but when through love one sorrows with one’s friends at their injuries and hardships, not one’s own.”

    The lecture was attended by students of the Loyola Institute in TCD, and other Trinity students, as well as members of the public and students from Notre Dame who are currently studying in Trinity.

    Lenten Lecture Series 2016

    Book of Kells...A Theological Reading

    Book of Kells image

    The Book of Kells is one of Ireland’s major tourist attractions with over 600,000 visitors last year. This famous book can be appreciated on many different levels. To arrive at a theological reading of the Book of Kells, we must learn to read and understand its rich artistic iconography. For example many appreciate the Book of Kells’ wonderful depictions of animals – snakes, peacocks, lions, hares and mice. But according to Dr Con Casey of the Loyola Institute: “These animal figures also carry deeper meaning. They themselves are part of the telling of a theological narrative, the story of human salvation. The lion, for example, often appears issuing a many-coloured breath from his mouth. In the background are the contemporary Bestiaries, books of animal stories. There it is said that lion cubs are born dead. The male lion after three days returns, breathes upon them and life enters their limbs.”

    This series of Lenten Lectures by the Loyola Institute will be principally concerned with understanding the theological significance of this iconography.
