The Center for the Constitution and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition (CIT)
promotes scholarship that explores the relevance of the Catholic intellectual
tradition for American constitutionalism. That tradition is deep and rich, including
philosophical and theological accounts of law and politics by such figures as
St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Aristotle, among others.Â
Through rigorous research, high-profile events, and strategic partnerships, CIT shapes constitutional debates, influences legal education, and informs public policy.
