The CCCG joined The Project on Constitutional Originalism and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition (CIT) at Catholic University's Columbus School of Law to host an event on the Catholic Foundations of the Establishment Clause.

- Gerard V. Bradley – Professor of Law, Notre Dame Law School
- Michael Breidenbach – Associate Professor of History, Ave Maria University
- Kyle Duncan – Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
The Project on Constitutional Originalism and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition (CIT) promotes scholarship that explores the relationship between the Catholic intellectual tradition and American constitutionalism. That tradition is deep and rich, including philosophical and theological accounts of law and politics by such figures as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas. Although CIT’s primary focus is on theories of constitutional law, such as originalism, its ambit is broad and covers the relevance of the Catholic intellectual tradition for constitutional history, doctrine, and other fields of study.
