A “person” wasn’t always what you think it is. In ancient Greek drama “prosopon” meant a stage mask—but early Christians hijacked the word to solve the biggest question of their age: Who exactly is Jesus? That theological breakthrough still shapes every debate about human dignity, soul vs. body, AI consciousness, and why you’re infinitely more than a bundle of atoms.
Abbot Ankido (Chaldean Catholic priest & monk) sits down with Fr. Daniel (Chaldean Catholic priest & Canonist) to trace the idea of personhood from Aristotle to Genesis to modern Canon Law—then asks what it means for your daily fight with pleasure, perfectionism, and self-worth.
What you’ll learn:
- Why Christianity “invented” the modern idea of personhood
- How Aristotle’s “rational soul” meets the Book of Genesis’ “image of God”
- Why breaking God’s image in yourself (sin) doesn’t make Him love you less—but does demand restoration
- Canon Law’s 3-step path to rebuild scandal: reform the offender, restore justice, repair the wound
