Center for World Catholicism at DePaul University

In 1900, only 25% of Catholics lived in the global South--Latin America, Asia, and Africa. By the year 2000, that number had shifted to nearly 70%.TheCenter for World Catholicism & Intercultural Theology (CWCIT)is a leading center of interdisciplinary research addressing this dramatic demographic shift in Catholicism. Established in 2008 by DePaul University, CWCIT seeks to be at the forefront of the discussion about globalization and the Catholic Church's future as a truly worldwide church. Housed in the Department of Catholic Studies, CWCIT focuses on the global nature of Catholic Christianity, especially but not exclusively in the global South, and seeks to create channels of collaboration and friendship among scholars from the North and South.
