As the national university of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States, The Catholic University of America enjoys a unique and privileged place among American Catholic institutions of higher learning. That privilege derives from its historical origins as well as the role envisioned for it from the beginning. Established by the nation's bishops and approved by Pope Leo XIII in 1887, The Catholic University of America was thought to be the only Catholic institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through research, in the model of the great German universities of the 19th century, that American Catholics would be able to maintain.
