VSI is working to revitalize the study of living Latin and Greek, following the principles laid down by Pope St John XXIII in the Apostolic Constitution Veterum Sapientia. We have undertaken this work because we share the vision which the Pope outlines in this document: the Latin and Greek writings of both pagan and Christian authors contain timeless wisdom which is valuable in every age. We are the only institution in the world that has dared to implement the late Pope’s bold vision for renewal of Catholic culture, and we want to make these treasures available to everyone.
