This observation shows how the Catholic Imagination allows Catholics to find Christ-like qualities in even the most unexpected people and situations. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329361 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329366 To be deprived means to have something taken away or to have something kept from someone. To be depraved means to be evil and immoral. Sin takes away holiness and pulls us further from God. However, it does not make us inherently evil. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329366 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329371 The ring is a symbol of sin as it causes greed and destruction upon those who bear it.  Gollum is a symbol of grace, despite him being so attracted and obsessed with the sinful ring. Gandalf symbolizes our priestly role by leading the faithful and teaching others to bring our the good in themselves. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329371 mrkohut https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329382 And yet, I'd love to see more use of images and other "extras" that Padlet allows you to include here. Be sure to use these as you work on the next set of LOTR questions due this Wednesday. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329382 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329387 Fr. Charles believes that the elvish artifacts are good examples of how sacramentals function within Catholicism. He believes that Tolkien does a fantastic job of meshing the spiritual and material world through these elvish artifacts. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329387 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329392 Fr. Charles notes that the "spiritual is shot through with the material" and the "material is shot through with the spiritual." This further illustrates for us how these two planes work together not only in the Lord of the Rings, but also through our sacramental vision as Catholics. The cloaks are described in great detail, and these details are contrasted through different situations. The cloaks also serve great protection for those they cover. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329392 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329399 The Lembas Bread parallels the Eucharist because it does fulfill us, unlike the Lembas Bread. The Lembas Bread seemed to make Frodo and Sam only think of other foods and their longing for other bread and meat. Tolkien, although he describes the Lembas Bread as being this great and magical source of substance does have trouble seeing it as a powerful and fulfilling food when being compared to the Eucharist . ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329399 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329406 Fr. Charles connects the Lembas Bread to Catholicism by calling it a tangible, made artifact. It possess elements that "transcend its' mere physical properties." He uses this to argue that the bread is not comparable to the Eucharist, but is able to be connected to Catholicism through its sacramentality. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329406 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329408 An Old Testament type is a person, place, event or institution in the Old Testament that foreshadows the person and work of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The Lembas Bread (being part of a pre-Christian world), in the thoughts of Fr. Charles, is not a symbol or "type" of something that has already occurred, but rather a "type" for a future revelation. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329408 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329415 The Horns of Rohan is a partially sacramental object, without the presence of elvish qualities. They maintain their sacramentality by giving the essence of defiance and recklessness going on even when there is no hope. The Horns of Eorl maintains sacramentality by "setting fear in the hearts of enemies and joy in the hearts of friends." ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329415 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329424 The Athelas plant gives healing properties of the mody and spirit, much like the oil from the olives which is used in the Anointing of the Sick. It has the ability to breathe new life back into the sick. Although we as Catholics are aware that the oil itself does not immediately heal unlike the Athelas plant, it is blessed. It is blessed and aids in the spiritual and physical healing process. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329424 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329430 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329430 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329437 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329437 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329444 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329444 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329451 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329451 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329457 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329457 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329463 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329463 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329471 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329471 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329479 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329479 mrkohut https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329486 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329486 mrkohut https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329491 2021-01-22 18:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/rny62wtkgwcnypdt1617313176/wish/1115329491
