Charles quotes an early Church Father - “God became (hu)man, so that (hu)man(s) may be God.” What do you think this means? 
The beginning of the quote means that God sent Jesus. Jesus became fully human while still keeping his divine nature. In order for people to be with God and to experience Him fully, we had to be saved by Jesus Christ.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332597 Question #2 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332604 Although God and grace are not explicitly shown in LOTR, it is said that these are present in the story like “light from an invisible lamp.”  What do you think this means? How does this short observation capture the essence of how the Catholic Imagination views the world?
Like the idea of light from an invisible lamp, God and grace are below the surface of LOTR. By using the invisible light analogy, he explains that we can receive things from sources we can not see. LOTR has God and grace present, and the audience can learn from these themes, even if they can not explicitly see it. Through context and deeper understanding, LOTR is able to convey messages of God and grace in special and subtle ways.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332604 Question #3 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332609 It is said that unlike some Protestant Christian ways of seeing the world, Catholics view the world as “deprived but not depraved.” 
Draw upon what you have learned about sin to explain both parts of this statement (you’ll likely need to also define these two words in your answer.
Deprived means lacking of material and cultural goods. Depraved means morally corrupt and wicked. Protestants desire to leave the Earth and want to be in Heaven. This is because they see the Earth as a corrupt and evil place. Catholics, on the other hand, see the Earth idealistically and with love. Because Catholics are able to see God in the world, they are able to see the good in all things. Even if the world suffers, Catholics understand that God loves and brings good things to the world.

Charles concludes by noting that there isn’t religion nor are there Sacraments in LOTR and yet there is a strong sacramental view of the world. Give three examples from the story of LOTR (as we’ve learned it through the videos we’ve watched) of people, objects, or actions which are symbols which point to aspects of Catholicism.
In some aspects, Gandalf can represent Jesus. Gandalf the Gray dies to save the heroes. He then is resurrected as Gandalf the White. Just as Jesus died and was resurrected to save the world, Gandalf is as well. Sam, Frodo's friend, explains why they must keep fighting to save the world. He believes that the world is worth saving because there is good in the world. This ideal reflects that Catholics believe there is good in the world because God is present on the Earth. Sam and Frodo are called to a mission bigger than themselves. They are simple and little. In Catholicism, it is believed that God calls us to take roles bigger than ourselves. Through these vocations, we are able to grow closer to God, our brothers and sisters, and become the best version of ourselves. Along with this same point, Catholics believe that there is holiness in humility and simplicity which is reflected in the meek lifestyle of the hobbits.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332616 Great, insightful answers.

How is this different than how Catholics understand the Eucharist? 
And yet, why does Fr. Charlie state that it can still be considered to be sacramental?

Sacraments are ways that we can receive God's grace and encounter Him even if we can not always physically see him. "They are vehicles from the visible to the invisible." Similarly, the "elvish artifacts" are simple objects made from parts of the earth. Even though they seem simple, there is something about them that is greater than they originally appear to be. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332674 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332681 Father Charles describes how there are two planes of reality, the spiritual and the physical. (invisible and the visible) Through the meshing of these planes, the ordinary and extraordinary become intertwined together. The elvish cloaks are woven out of ordinary thread, yet their color seems to change like magic. The normal thread is able to show the extraordinary properties of this color changing. Like a sacramental or a sacrament, the ordinary conveys the extraordinary.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332681 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332686 The Eucharist is made from ordinary bread, and it is consumed by people actively worshipping in the Mass. A priest must consecrate it with special words and actions for the bread to transubstantiate and become the real body of Christ under the appearance of bread. None of this is present with the Lembas bread. Even so, it can still be seen as a sacramental. Lembas bread appears to be ordinary sweet bread, but it offers extraordinary strength and sustenance not found in normal sweet bread. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332686 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332693 These horns are blown to make great blasts in hours of need and in war.

In this case, by knowing and honoring Mary, you can come to understand and love Jesus even more. https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332914 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332914 By honoring the saints, like Mary, you are honoring the creator. That person could not be as holy and wonderful as they are without God. https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332918 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332918 Mary is our Queen and our Mother https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332921 In order for us to become closer to Jesus and truly love and understand him, we must be able to love and honor his mother.
Jesus himself loved and honored his mother.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332921 I like the way you designed this with a vertical flow and the "dark" mode looks great too. I urge you to break the well written text up over at least two posts per question. You can then use labels on the arrows to move the reader from one text post to the next. mrkohut https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332923 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332923 I like the layout here too. With arrows this long, be sure to label the lines in order to help the reader/viewer easily move from one idea (post) to the next one. See what I've done for the winter line. mrkohut https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332925 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332925 I REALLY like how you created this part of the assignment as it's one of the best that I've seen so far. mrkohut https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332930 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332930 Excellent use of the images to differentiate the videos. And I like the detail of how you used a fairly similar photo for each one. This gives a subtle, yet sharp sense of symmetry (like my alteration there?) mrkohut https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332933 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/6znovgwhxhd1b8jd1617312707/wish/1115332933
