The Centesimus Annus Foundation

The Centesimus Annus Foundation (CSTWeb.org)
aims to work toward the diffusion of human, ethical,
social, and Christian values, as described in particular
in the encyclical “Centesimus Annus”, written by
Pope John Paul II in 1991. The Foundation’s goals
are to promote knowledge of the social teachings of
the Church and of the activity of the Holy See among
business and professional leaders, to help expand
the Church’s impact in all sectors of contemporary
society, and to coordinate fund raising activities to
help support the activity of the Apostolic See.

Because both the Institute for Advanced Catholic
Studies and the Centesimus Annus Foundation are
dedicated to fostering thoughtful discourse about
the Church’s social teaching, they have jointly founded
a scholarly website, CSTWeb.org. Here scholars can
post their own work concerning issues of the morality
of economic life, and can respond to papers posted
by others.
