Our Catholic Studies 小 stands in continuity with the centuries-long project of 信仰决定知识, "faith seeking understanding." This quest for understanding engages all fields of human knowledge, for Catholic theology holds that God is revealed not only in the Word of scripture but also in the whole created world. The Catholic vision includes a notion of nature as the product of dynamic divine providence, of the fine 艺术s as an intimation of divine beauty, and of history as a drama of revelation and response.

Catholic tradition rests on a vision of the transcendent meaning and value of the human person, and of the e艺术h and its life forms. 用依纳爵的话来说, appropriate to 国外博彩app's Jesuit, 天主教徒的身份, the tradition attempts to assist human beings to become who they really are precisely by seeking and seeing God in all things.
