Fr. Spitzer to Offer Course on Faith and Science at New Online Academy

Parousia, an Australian based organization for Catholic leadership and mission formation, is excited to announce the launch of its online academy where Fr. Spitzer will offer a course on Faith and Science. The academy’s webpage asserts, “we have a vast need for Catholic adult education,” and that is exactly what they hope to provide with their academy. 

 

Charbel Raish, founder of Parousia and director of the Academy came to his own faith through Catholic adult education. Raish was in a Mosque—all set to leave the Catholic faith for that of Islam—when he randomly started praying Hail Marys. Immediately, he felt that it was not time to enter into the Islam faith without exploring his own Catholic faith first.

“I don’t know my faith. It is not fair that I leave something I don’t know,” Raish said in an interview with EWTN, describing his experience at that time. Luckily for Raish, Dr. Robert Hadad, one of the Academy’s lecturers, was offering adult apologetic classes at a parish nearby. From these lectures, Raish was able to fully enter into his faith and fall in love with God. 

Now Raish, and the whole team over at Parousia Academy, hope to share the authentic joy that comes from understanding the faith. They also hope to form leaders for missions through Parousia Academy. This has all been made possible through a partnership with Campion College in Australia alongside with Theologian, Dr. Paul Morrisey offering a course entitled “An Introduction to Christology.” Other lecturers include:

  • Fr. Robert J. Spitzer, SJ, PhD. Magis Center
  • Dr. Jeremy Bell, Campion College
  • Dr. Ted Sri, Augustine Institute, 
  • Dr. Christopher West, Catholic Author

There are three courses ready now to take on demand with many more coming soon. You can take the courses as an auditor or (for an extra fee) choose twelve courses and earn a Certification in Mission from the Academy.

Magis Center
The Magis Center's Mission: We exist to turn the rising tide of unbelief in our culture through contemporary, rational, and science-based evidence. Many young people today have the preconceived notions that science and faith are mutually exclusive, that there is no such thing as a soul, and that God is just an illusion of hope. There is a great need for a practical defense of the Catholic Faith that meets the surrounding culture in materialism and scientism. As more young people leave the faith, Magis Center seeks to answer the conflict of science and faith with sound scientific research and clearly communicate the reasonability and truthfulness of the Catholic Faith.
