Nick Frietas, host of Making the Argument, will present his talk, The Christian Contribution to Liberty, and the Dangers When Christians Forget. Liberty doesn’t just happen. Liberty arose in the West from the combination of unique conditions of Europe, Greco Roman experiments and thinking, and the influence of Christianity both institutionally and in ideas. That history demonstrates how freedom requires a host of ideas and institutions to defend and rationalize it. That defense never stops.
In this lecture, Nicholas Frietas of Young America’s Foundation explores the Christian contribution to freedom and the dangers when that defense wanes. This is a celebration of Christianity’s role, but also a recognition that the hard work didn’t end centuries ago, and a call to Christians to bear the responsibility for that freedom, lest they risk losing it. Moreover, that defense is not solely in politics, but especially in the world of ideas and culture more generally.
(Co-Sponsored with Mount St. Mary’s Young Americans for Freedom)

Dwight Schlaline is the pastor of the historic Sacred Heart Basilica (aka “Conewago Chapel”) located near Hanover, PA. He has served as a priest of the Harrisburg Diocese since June 2010; first at St. Patrick Church in Carlisle, then at Our Lady of the Visitation in Shippensburg, and now in Hanover. A fellow overthinker, Fr. Dwight asks, “Has someone ever said: You think too much. Why don’t you just let it go?” Have you ever tried to stop ruminating about something but just couldn’t do it? It’s possible to be free from overthinking. Come out and let’s see what God can do to heal our minds and hearts.
