2023 Schedule

As the formation of Ecclesia Christi is grounded in the “Communio School” of theology, this year’s Catholic 301 program is devoted to studying two of the Communio journal’s founding members: Joseph Ratzinger and Hans Urs von Balthasar. Catholic 301 aims to provide an introduction to their person and their theological method, as well as the relevance of their contribution to the life of the Church today.
