Catholic intellectual life is founded in 4 pillars each of which has played an equally important role in the development of Catholic academic life. The scriptures (biblical passages), the Church's thinking and writings on the bible, more formally known as Catechisms, as well as, theological writings provide a base for Catholic intellectuals to develop their ideas.  Prayer, with its use of devotions,  and rituals such as, music and art, provide Catholic intellectuals with a personal connection to their religion and their work.  Use the hyperlinks below to learn more about the various aspects of Catholic intellectual life.
