Cost: Free and open to the public

One of the pathologies that produce poverty in the current economic system is the simultaneous deification of things and reification of people: we invest divinity in material things, while people are treated as instruments toward profit. In this lecture, Dr. William T. Cavanaugh, DePaul University, will explore the Eucharist as an antidote to this idolatry. The Eucharist provides a better, sacramental way of seeing God’s presence in the material world, while simultaneously offering an identification of people, especially the poor, with God in Christ.
