Catholic theology
Papal religious framework
Catholic theology is the systematic study of God, faith, and doctrine within the Roman Catholic tradition.
It draws on Scripture, church tradition, and the teaching authority of the Pope and bishops.
Catholic theology encompasses areas like sacramental theology, Mariology, and moral theology, distinguishing it from Protestant approaches by its emphasis on tradition alongside Scripture: She studied Catholic theology at a Jesuit university.
