The “Christianity and Culture” course trains professors, administrators, and university staff to appreciate the fundamental role played by Christianity in the creation of Western civilization and better prepare themselves for the challenges of the new evangelization of contemporary culture. The course aims to achieve these objectives through three main ways:
- The systematic study – historical, philosophical, and theological – of the key elements constituting the Catholic “worldview” (Weltanschauung), particularly its vision of the human person, God, and the natural world, and the analysis of contemporary society from this perspective.
- Guided visits to Rome, where the theory of the Catholic worldview is enriched by contemplating the historical development of Christian culture.
- Religious activities such as daily Mass, times for confession, a pilgrimage to Assisi, and an audience with the Pope to foster a personal and transformative encounter with Christ.
