Introduction
The purpose of the study of theology at Campion is to expose students to the world of higher knowledge and meaning in the context of Catholic faith, responding to the deepest desires of the human mind and heart, and developing a consciousness of spiritual realities and moral values in life and society.
Theology at Campion is built on the foundations of faith and reason. The scripturally-based content of faith and the progression from the Old to the New Covenant are covered extensively in a course on revelation. In sacramental theology students learn about the sacramental principle that lies at the heart of God’s creation and about the manner in which, through the sacraments, Christians encounter God most sublimely on their earthly pilgrimage.
Most of the latter part of Campion’s theology curriculum is concerned with moral and social issues. Students learn about the rich contribution of Catholic moral tradition and Catholic social teaching to discussions about a wide range of ethical questions. The significant impact of the Second Vatican Council in the life of the contemporary Church is also covered extensively, encompassing the historical/theological context from which it arose and the Council’s legacy for Catholics today.
