Mission, profile, organisation
The Catholic Academy in Bavaria
Church needs debate: "Catholic" with a view to the whole -
and "academic", trusting in the power of arguments.
We live this. And organise discourses on the burning issues of the day: questions from the heart of life. Thinking at the highest scientific level. The communication is comprehensible and true to life. And not only that: methodological diversity, space for participation, church services and a hospitable setting with food and drink make reflection an intensive experience.
Our range of topics includes religion and politics, science and technology, history and philosophy, art and culture. We strive to attract the best experts on every question. Because we want to prepare all the information and interpretations for you in such a way that you can form an informed opinion. That is our mission. Fulfilling it has not become boring for almost 70 years.
