Catholic Theological Society of America
- Catholic Theological Society of America
The Catholic Theological Society of America is a professional association mostly in the United States and Canada. It is a Catholic organization that was founded in 1946 to promote studies and research in theology within the Catholic tradition. It provides a forum for the exchange of ideas relating to theology, problems, and how to develop a more effective educational approach.
The Society also tries to foster within the Christian community a better understanding of their faith. It advances its work through annual June conventions, scholarly publications and committees that work throughout the year.
The president of the CTSA for 2007-2008 is Margaret O'Gara, of the Faculty of Theology of the University of St. Michael's College, Toronto. She will be succeeded by Terrence W. Tilley of Fordham University for 2008-2009.
The Society has been criticized by the Vatican for its dissident leanings, most notably by John Paul II in his declaration Ad Tuendam Fidem.
