Institut Catholique De Paris
The Institut Catholique de Paris (ICP), known in English as the Catholic University of Paris (and in Latin as ''Universitas catholica Parisiensis''), is a private university located in Paris, France. History: 1875–present The Institut Catholique de Paris was founded in 1875, under the name of the Université Catholique de Paris by Maurice Le Sage d'Hauteroche d'Hulst. The school settled on the site of the former convent of the Carmelites, however the premises were not well adapted. Gabriel Ruprich-Robert developed a new project for the site; however, due to a lack of sufficient funds, he decided to renovate some of the old buildings instead of destroying them. The first phase of the renovation took place between 1894 and 1897. Following the French law establishing the separation of the church and state, ownership of the premises was given to the state. In 1927, the premises were repurchased by the institute, allowing the second phase of the renovation to take place between 1929 ...

Université Catholique De Lille
The Université catholique de Lille (also known as the Catholic University of Lille), also « University and Polytechnic Federation of Lille » is a private collegiate university of Catholic-inspired institutions established in 1875. The university comprises five faculties, 20 schools and institutes, research centers, and a hospital, with a cumulative student body of 36,700 in 2021. Although an article of the French Code of Education (L731-14) prohibits private institutes from calling themselves “Universities”, the federation calls itself “Université catholique de Lille" or "Catholic University of Lille”.

The Catholic Worker
''Catholic Worker'' is a newspaper published seven times a year by the flagship Catholic Worker community in New York City. The newspaper was started by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin to make people aware of church teaching on social justice. History It first appeared on May first, 1933 in an edition of 2,500 copies, to make people aware of the social justice teaching of the Catholic Church as an alternative to communism during the Depression. Its stated goal was to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable. Circulation rapidly rose to 25,000 within a few months, and reached 150,000 by 1936. The ''Catholic Worker'' lost thousands of subscribers because of its strict pacifist stance and refusal to join in the call for U.S. involvement in World War II. Dorothy Day was the editor of ''Catholic Worker'' until her death in 1980. The ''Catholic Worker'' covered the Civil rights movement in great depth as liturgically based social action.
