graduate programs in theology | |
To study theology challenges us to open our minds and hearts to Jesus Christ, the one Teacher who illumines everything by His very being as the Word of the Father in the Holy Spirit. To study Catholic theology is to realize that the Word Incarnate and the Holy Spirit inspired Sacred Scripture and continue to guide the Magisteriium of the Church, whose Tradition directs us as we reach up to the great minds and hearts of the many saints and scholars who over the millennia have contributed to the quest for genuine holiness, wisdom, science, scholarship, and art. |
Institute for pastoral theology | |
"To be pastorally effective, intellectual formation is to be integrated with a spirituality marked by a personal experience of God. In this way a purely abstract approach to knowledge is overcome in favor of that intelligence of heart which knows how 'to look beyond' and then is in a position to communicate the mystery of God to people." ~ Pope John Paul II, Pastores dabo vabis |
