Catholic social thought provides
a rich resource of religiously
grounded ethical principles

The Center seeks to pursue the truth

  • according to the highest standards of excellence within the framework of moral and spiritual values
  • with an openness to other cultures and faith traditions and
  • with a sensitivity to world and global concerns, inspired by a profound concern for the poor and the marginalized.

Catholic social teaching exhibits a proclivity to be open-ended and accessible to everyone.  While it claims a vision of the world informed by its specific religious ethos, it evokes a moral resonance in all earnest inquirers of the truth and seekers of justice.
