CIT 204 SINNERS, SAINTS & SACRAMENTS 3.0 Credit(s)
This interdisciplinary course explores the themes of sin, sainthood, and sacraments, particularly as those themes are depicted in Catholic fiction and film. The Catholic sacramental tradition is based on the belief that creation and human activities (rituals, saints' lives, etc.) can somehow manifest God's presence (i.e. grace) in a sinful world. We will discuss a diverse range of topics through a sacramental lens, as well as practices, beliefs, and debates surrounding both the sacraments and the Catholic tradition of canonization. We will particularly highlight the relationship between evil and grace in our various fictional texts, and how conversion so often entails a recognition of sin, both structural and personal. Students will be asked not only to learn common issues and symbols of the seven Catholic sacraments and the Catholic piety of sainthood, but also to reflect and discuss critically how issues raised by sacraments and sainthood continue to be relevant to their own lives and the contemporary world.
