Department of Theology
“Catholic theology, taught in a manner faithful to Scripture, tradition, and the Church’s Magisterium, provides an awareness of the Gospel principles which will enrich the meaning of human life and give it a new dignity.” (Ex corde ecclesiae, 20).
Faithful to the Christian message as it has come to us through the Church, our mission is to introduce students to Catholic theology as an exercise in “faith seeking understanding.” Mindful of its ethical obligations to the Church and to the world, the Department also seeks to foster ecumenical awareness and concern for social justice and to prepare student majors for teaching, parish work, youth ministry, and graduate studies.
Benedictine College has been recognized for excellence in faithful Catholic education. The college has been recommended by The Cardinal Newman Society in its publication, The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College.
Benedictine College requires that all Theology professors teach in full communion with the Church and that each receive a mandatum from the local ordinary in accord with Canon Law 812.
