We are committed to the whole of the theological tradition in fidelity to the magisterium, avoiding the fragmentation caused by extreme progressivism or rigid traditionalism. We believe that the aim of a genuine theological education is to receive the tradition in a prayerful receptivity, drawing on what is true, good, and beautiful, while embracing authentic development in the Church. We also engage the works of the Western tradition and of our own age so that we may understand man in his concrete situation and bring the wisdom of the Church’s tradition to the contemporary questions of our culture.
