The Albertus Magnus Center for Scholastic Studies is an organization dedicated to the promotion of sacred theology undertaken according to the mind and method of the great scholastics.In the first place, this means that we seek to promote and study primarily scholastic authors, from the golden age of scholasticism in the high middle ages to the neo-scholasticism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with pride of place given to the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas, of whom Pope Benedict XV said, "He was divinely raised up that the Church might have a master whose doctrine should be followed in a special way at all times."Secondly, this means that we prioritize a dialectical method in the study of sacred theology; that is, a method that aims to arrive at knowledge of truth through reasoned discourse involving discussion and disputation.Finally, and above all, this means that we seek to carry out our studies in a spirit of prayer and contemplation nourished and sustained by the sacred liturgy of the Church, especially the Holy Eucharist and the divine office.
