Database of Catholic Social Thought Organizations

I just received news of this exciting project from Michael Naughton:

Dear Colleagues:

It is with great pleasure that we announce the launching of the Database of Catholic Social Thought Organizations a collaborative project of the John A. Ryan Institute for Catholic Social Thought of the Center for Catholic Studies and the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.

The Database of Catholic Social Thought Organizations is a unique, online resource that brings together information that can serve people and institutions involved with different areas of Catholic social teaching.

The results of several months of research, it features information from over 400 institutes, organizations and associations from all over the world, who are active in areas related to Catholic social thought and action. It contains both institutes that pursue theoretical research and academic activities on CST-related issues, as well as organizations that are involved in the practical implementation of the principles of the CST.

It is a free, online, searchable database that can help you discover and contact the organizations and individuals that work on areas of Catholic social thought.  Covering all continents and most language groups, its scope makes it an ongoing project, and we are counting on your observations, suggestions and support to help us keep it current and up to date. We will be most indebted for your comments, opinions, corrections and suggestions, as they will enable us to improve and maintain this as a service for you and for the entire Church. If you are part of an organization that would like to be included in the database or if you know of any organization that is not listed, please contact us through our web site.

Sincerely,

Michael Naughton
