Descripción
Search for God. In every scholarly discipline explore the truth, wherever it leads, for it will ultimately lead to God. This confidence in God’s presence guarantees academic freedom and the autonomy of each academic discipline. In your programs of teaching and research be rigorously faithful to the postulates and axioms proper to each individual branch of learning. But go beyond the isolation so often characteristic of specialization. Discover how, through interdisciplinary studies, the entire academic task can be inspired and shaped by God’s self-revelation, especially the truths and values embodied in the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth.
Serve the faith through the promotion of justice. Ethical reflection as an essential part of the training of all students on all levels, including professional schools, will make students and the wider society aware of the moral dimensions of political, economic, and scientific issues. Critical social and cultural analysis alerts people to the causes and consequences of various trends and to the possibilities of shaping and directing them rather than simply being victimized by them.
