    What's the big deal about divorce? Why should we read and talk about it when everyone around us seems to be fine with it? The truth is: no matter what our family background, our age, or our state in life is, we all need to rediscover the immense impact that family life has on us and on our culture.

About The Event

About the event: 

Throughout the centuries, the Church has experienced and overcome several crises. Most recently, it has renewed its liturgy, seen a Pope resign, and fought scandals that most Catholics had thought unthinkable within the clergy. Through an historical lens, Father Roberto Regoli, Professor of  Church History at the Gregoriana University in Rome, and author of the book “Beyond the Crises of the Church” will walk us through some of the church's recent past - and in particular the pontificate of Benedict XVI - while answering questions about what is old, what is new, and what awaits the faithful.

The Austin Institute for the Study of Family and Culture is co-sponsoring this event and invites you and your family to join us for an evening of intellectual growth and Christian fellowship.
