The Catholic Studies minor is intended to provide students with an academic understanding of Catholicism. ‘Catholicism’ here refers not just to a religious institution or a set of beliefs, but to a culture. It includes all the ways in which the Roman Catholic Church and its members have interacted with the wider world: with the arts, history, politics, science, and philosophy. Because of the diversity of these interactions, no one field can understand Catholicism adequately. Catholic Studies is therefore an interdisciplinary pursuit. It is not a branch of religious studies or theology. It does not presuppose any commitment to Catholicism as a creed. Rather, it seeks to understand a complex culture that has had tremendous impact on the world over the past two thousand years. In doing that, the minor offers the students a focus around which to integrate their elective choices into a coherent path of study. |
