Mission Week
4:30 pm to 6:30 pm – Inaugural Founders Forum -- The Scruples of St. Ignatius of Loyola: Exploring the Intersection of History, Theology, and Modern Psychological Science
The Founders’ Forum is an annual Mission Week event that explores our Jesuit and Ignatian roots in conversation with contemporary issues and subjects through the expertise and experience of Loyola University’s own distinguished faculty. In this inaugural gathering, St. Ignatius’s struggle with scrupulosity will be explored in conjunction with the contemporary psychological understanding of and clinical approach to scruples. We hope the event will both deepen our understanding of our Jesuit heritage and our sensitivity towards an important mental health challenge. Father Steve Spahn, SJ of the Jesuit community and Theology Department will sketch what we know historically of Ignatius’s struggle with scruples. Dr. Gina Magyar-Russell of the Psychology Department will present the contemporary understanding of this disorder and how clinicians endeavor to treat it. A reception will precede and follow the presentation.
