Graduate Studies

Because intellectual apostolates are a very important part of our charism, and because we have a great need for priests to teach in both our own seminaries and in diocesan seminaries (particular in mission areas), the IVE sends a lot of seminarians and priests for graduate studies

In order to fulfill this ongoing formation we desire that all the members of our Institute, according to their capacities and talents, take ecclesiastical or civil courses after the seminary. These will be taken preferably in the Pontifical Universities of Rome or in those recognized by the Holy See, to receive the qualifying title of Doctor or Licentiate.

We already have a community in Rome where IVE priests & seminarians normally spend two years for the purpose of gaining their licentiate, or longer (obviously) if they are working toward their doctorate. Of course, formation in Rome involves more than academics, because it allows our men to experience the heart of the Church--something that we want all our priests to be able to do. As a consequence of studies in Rome, we want our members to attain a "Roman spirit" (Romanità), which "entails a crown of virtues: universal openness, fidelity to the Magisterium, a missionary spirit, longanimity and magnanimity.” (IVE Constitutions) As of right now, about one-third of our men have already gotten or are studying for an advanced degree, and we hope that number will increase.

Below is a list of the various institutions that our priests have attended in the past or are currently attending in order to earn their Licentiate or Doctorate:

Pontifical Gregorian University
Pontifical Lateran University
Pontifical University Saint Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum)
Pontifical University of the Holy Cross (Santa Croce)
Pontifical Patristics Institute (Augustinianum)
Pontifical Biblical Institute (Biblicum)
Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music
Pontifical John Paul II Institute (Both in Rome and Washington, DC)
Pontifical Atheneum Saint Anselm
Pontifical Atheneum Regina Apostolorum
Catholic University of America
Saint Bruno of Segni Center of Higher Studies

The IVE's Center for Graduate Studies in Segni, Italy

God and Intelligence
 right

In this book, Fulton Sheen addresses what G. K. Chesterton called “the most tremendous question in the world; perhaps the only question in the world:” how man, through the power of reason, can know the nature of God. Tracing the course of philosophy from the Middle Ages to modern times, he shows Thomistic realism to be an adequate response to modern ideals. Emphasizing reason as a way of attaining knowledge of God, Bishop Sheen identifies the current age of agnosticism with its simultaneous distrust of reason. In a lucid tone, he analyzes the modern attack on intelligence, while presenting Scholastic philosophy as the solution to modern problems. Bishop Sheen succeeds in actualizing St. Thomas to such a degree that he ends up proving that Scholastic philosophy speaks to the world today as freshly as it did to the world of the 13th century.

IVE Press

This is one of the most enduring works by Servant of God Fulton J. Sheen—one of the great Catholic writers, apologists and prelates of the 20th Century. It is being published again by the IVE Press to re-awaken the Catholic understanding of the Holy Mass as the Sacrifice of Calvary renewed, re-enacted, re-presented for our salvation. Calvary is one with the Mass, and the Mass is one with Calvary.

*IVE Press is a new English and Spanish language publishing house founded by the IVE in the U.S.
