*develop a greater interest in a more rigorous study of Religion and its role in human experience;
*have a more objective and coherent view of the Christian Religion as based on the relevant documentation of the Catholic Tradition;
*develop the ability to relate the Christian message to the basic personal experiences and social events of modern life;
*approach the study of Religion with an inquiring, critical and empathetic mind.

*sustain good and founded arguments when discussing issues of a religious and moral nature.
