"My experience as a fellow has enriched my research by deepening my awareness of the multiple ways in which poverty affects social justice and by always challenging me to examine the social justice implications of my work."
Catholic universities will be particularly attentive to the poorest and to those who suffer economic, social, cultural or religious injustice. This responsibility begins within the academic community but it also finds application beyond it.
Pope John Paul II, Ex Corde Ecclesiae (40)
