The motto of CDU is Joy
from the Truth, gaudium de veritate.
John Paul II described Catholic universities as coming from the heart
of the Church in his Apostolic Constitution Ex corde ecclesiae.
He stated that “[a Catholic university] shares that gaudium
de veritate, so precious to St. Augustine, which is that joy of
searching for, discovering and communicating truth in every field of
knowledge.”
(See St. Augustine, Confessions, X, xxiii, 33) (Ex corde ecclesiae,
art. 1)
