Catholicity, the distinctive mark of the Roman Catholic community throughout the centuries, has been understood in many ways. Most recently it has become a tribal designation of a particular group of Christians over against others, divisive and constraining rather than expansive and inviting.
The VHI will be researching earlier, more traditional, more expansive understandings of catholicity over the coming years and exploring their applications within and without the official church. We will explore a number of constrictions in catholicity (the abuse crises and gender representation in the Church) as well as some of the more expansive ways of thinking about catholicity as a way of setting up our five year research project on this theme.
