Do I have to be a Christian in order to study in the Vilatte Theological Seminary?
No, however, since the course of studies is focused on preparing ministers and laypeople for leaderships roles in Old Catholic and Independent Catholic traditions, it is expected that students have been part of or at least are open to that religious orientation. If a student is not of the Catholic Faith tradition, it will be necessary for the student to provide a convincing argument on why the course of study or a degree in the Catholic Faith would be approrpriate for his/her ministry. Courses are taught from the viewpoint of a person having the Catholic Faith as his/her core religious belief; it is not intended to become a debate on the rightness or incorrectness of Catholic core values.
