​Centesimus Annus Pro Pontifice (CAPP)
​
CAPP is a lay-led, pontifical organization characterized by a special relationship with its  founder, Saint Pope John Paul II, and his successors to the Chair of Peter, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis.   As the U.S. affiliate of the Fondazione Centesimus Annus Pro Pontifice, the mission of CAPP-USA is to help Catholic leaders form their consciences on the principles of Catholic Social Doctrine (CSD) and to support their initiatives to implement it in the various sectors of society.

Society of Catholic Social Scientists
​
The Society of Catholic Social Scientists (SCSS) is a scholarly, interdisciplinary organization dedicated to promoting and conducting rigorous social scientific research within the parameters of orthodox Catholic doctrine. The SCSS was founded in 1992 by political scientist Stephen Krason and sociologist Joseph Varacalli. It is based at Franciscan University of Steubenville in Steubenville, Ohio.
 
The contemporary social sciences are primarily dependent on secular assumptions, concepts and theories. Consequently, the role of faith and Catholic social teaching is hardly considered in today's body of social science. The SCSS boldly challenges this secularlized approach to the social sciences by combining objective scholarly analysis with fidelity to the Magisterium.
