Welcome to the Pope Julius II Centre, Here you’ll find our RCAT program

Pope Julius II, born Giuliano della Rovere on December 5, 1443, served as Pope from 1503 to 1513. Known as "The Warrior Pope," he was a significant figure in the Renaissance era, both for his military campaigns and his patronage of the arts. Julius II sought to expand the temporal power of the papacy and was instrumental in consolidating the Papal States through warfare and strategic alliances. His reign saw the commencement of the construction of the new St. Peter's Basilica and the commissioning of Michelangelo to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling, leaving a lasting impact on the cultural and architectural heritage of the Vatican. Julius II's assertive and ambitious policies left a complex legacy, blending ecclesiastical authority with the political and artistic achievements of his papacy. Pope Julius II is also the founder implementing the Swiss Guard. The Holy Father died on February 21, 1513, leaving behind a legacy. 

The founder of RCIT has a law enforcement background. Given Pope Julius II founded the Swiss Guard, who are sworn to protect the Holy Father, he saw the connection fit. That being, Pope Julius II also is the reason for the Vatican being where it is today, a new cornerstone of the Catholic world. Such as RCIT, a new virtual cornerstone that we can connect the entire Christian world together. 

The Roman Catholic Advanced Theology Program is a bridge of RCIA. When Catholics become Catholic the classes are short and most don’t hold the full understanding of what it truly means to be Catholic or our history. We hope to help further guide people in understanding the fullness of Christs church. Come join our Non-Degree seeking courses today!

Roman Catholic Investigative Theology Inc. is partnered with Henderson Publishing and The Catholic Chemist for all works within RCAT in addition to our other programs.
