Romans1513 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I started August 1. For Chileans its the second semester, as their summer is our winter. It gets confusing when people ask what year in college I am or when I try to explain that my sister will graduate in May. I'm a junior. This semester, taking Advanced Spanish Writing (all exchange students), Modern History of Chile (all exchange students), Contemporary Art (all Chileans, and a girl from France, and me), Origins of Christianity (mixed), and Classic Spanish Lit (mixed). My little sister started her senior year of high school today! Yay for her!
MissyP89 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I start my first year of college--God help me--on September 5th. Buying my books Wednesday.
Era Might Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Got my books today. Taking a creative writing class, so that should be fun, the books look interesting.

That rocks![/quote] I wish we had pilosophy..... I wish we had anything better than regular religion I through IV that everyone gets put in and ends up becoming more of a study hall than a class because most of the kids in it don't care.

That rocks![/quote] yeah, no. the teacher is a former jesuit former married person current single man.... basically he left the order (specifically, he left SLU), and has since married, had kids, and obtained a divorce.... He also semi-denies the authority of the pope (doesn't believe the pope's teachings are inspired by the Holy Spirit, or something weird like that)... anyway. this guy is extremely intelligent...too intelligent for me to win any real debate in class. he's a nice guy, he just probably shouldn't be teaching theology/philosophy at a catholic school... but anyway i don't have him till second semester. we shall see. in the mean time! here are my 'theology' (it's really Church history, so idk if it qualifies for theology...it's history!) texts for this semester...let me know if they are good or bad The Catholic Church: Journey, Wisdom, and Mission Carl Koch World Religions Jeffrey Brodd The Church: Our Story "Catholic Tradition, Mission, and Practice" Patricia Morrison Driedger The Church: A Spirit-Filled People Romancik/Pastva Now one of these is supposedly recommended by the USCCB, but the teacher made sure to say we wouldn't really use that one.... Definitely not looking forward to this class. Let me know about the texts...
aalpha1989 Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 in other news... my church history teacher announced today that within our lifetimes we would have women priests, and also that purgatory was 'invented' by the Church to soothe people who felt offended that other 'less good' people went to heaven too. supposedly he told my friend's class that the last supper was a myth. he said Jesus really just had a passover meal and there was nothing like the narration narrative in the Mass. just about the only thing he got right was the real presence. i'm thoroughly upset.
IcePrincessKRS Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 And there's no way of getting out of having to take this class? That stinks.
Deus te Amat Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 [quote name='curtins' post='1361145' date='Aug 17 2007, 12:36 PM']three weeks ago??? when did you guys quit? I start junior year = 4 AP classes = death.[/quote] 4 AP classes junior year... i did that too, i had three a semester though, two were one semester courses. but it didnt help that three of them were ap social studies... i killed my brain memorizing stuff. it was managable though.

[/quote] nope. i don't really trust the other church history teachers either...but it is required for graduation. so if i want a diploma i have to behave. However that will not prevent me from bringing my catechism to class! I will also bring my book of Vatican II documents which he claims to love... perhaps I can surprise him with some real knowledge of the council...The spirit of the liturgy by ratzinger and the lamb's supper by hahn will also be good books to counter his wacky thoughts. my chaplain (who also happens to be a good friend of mine, i've known him since he was an intern seminarian) also said he'd talk to the teacher. i didn't really mean to 'tattle' on him, i was just talking to Father about what was going on. *shrugs*. anyway this should be an interesting year..... just for the record, this is father's first year as the chaplain here and he's already starting to clean up the liturgies. i tried with the last one to get some stuff fixed, but he didn't feel like he could interfere since he was going to leave anyway. *rolls eyes*. he was a good guy but didn't really use his position as he should have. i already started talking to the new one and he was way ahead of me, having already talked to the teacher who heads the liturgy planning. I love good priests!!!!
