Catholic Theological Union
Catholic Theological Union (CTU) is a Roman Catholic graduate school of theology in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. It is one of the largest Roman Catholic graduate schools of theology in the English speaking world and trains men and women for lay and ordained ministry within the Roman Catholic Church.[6] It was founded in 1968, when three religious institutes united their separate theology programs to form one school. The institution has since gained the sponsorship of twenty-four religious communities. CTU is run and staffed by religious men, religious sisters, and lay men and women. International students constitute nearly one third of the student body.[7]

gollark: Wait, what mods will this server have? And version?
gollark: I don't know if mine officially supports it or not; it seems like they *kind of* designed it as upgradeable, because there are dedicated RAM/SSD access panels, but said access panels are also really annoying to add/remove.
gollark: It was very cheap, though installing an SSD and more RAM was *annoying*.
gollark: I have an outdated business one, so I still have 4 plus a USB-C port, which is nice.
gollark: I've got a really small TPLink one somewhere. It's basically just a USB-A connector with a small bit on the end. Probably terrible speed, but meh.
