Info
The Center for the Study of Christianity & Justice (Cristianisme i Justícia: CJ) was created by the Jesuits of Catalonia in 1981 for social and theological reflection. Located in Barcelona, it joins together an interdisciplinary team of more than 80 teachers of social sciences and theology with experts and professionals who have direct contact with social realities. To secure the mission of the Center, the Jesuits in 1989 created the Luis Espinal Foundation, a private non-profit organization.The Center is a member of the Catalan Federation of NGOs for Peace, Human Rights and Development, the Catalan Social Forum, the Catalan Forum of Theology and Liberation, and the Platform of Christian Organizations for Immigrants, and it partners with groups like Oxfam.
The Center was created by the Society of Jesus in Catalonia under the Jesuit Provincial Fr. Ignasi Salvat in 1981, in response to the priority task singled out by Superior General Pedro Arrupe in Jesuit General Congregation 32, the "service of faith and promotion of justice."
