Abstract
The
Center
for
Catholic
Thought
at
Creighton
University
was
created
in
2009.
The
Center
serves
students,
faculty,
and
the
local
Catholic
community
through
a
series
of
programs
designed
to
explore
and
promote
the
Church’s
intellectual
tradition.
The
Catholic
Church
has
a
long
history
of
engaging
the
intersection
of
faith
and
reason.
Catholicism,
to
mention
one
example,
sees
no
conflict
between
the
conclusions
of
science
and
the
proclamation
of
the
Gospel.
Catholic
Universities
are
especially
well
positioned
to
become
intentional
centers
of
excellence
where
the
Catholic
intellectual
tradition
is
able
to
prosper
and
thrive.
The
Center
currently
sponsors
the
podcast
Catholic
Comments,
the
annual
Michael
G.
Lawler
Theology
Lecture,
an
annual
lecture
by
a
prominent
church
leader,
and
various
interdisciplinary
programs
throughout
the
academic
year
