Primary Exempt PurposeThe International Catholic Jurists Forum (ICJF) was established to produce, compile, and share resources on fundamental human rights under attack in the regional and international human rights protection systems. It operates as a forum for Catholic jurists and scholars to study, research, and discuss moral issues of the day related to attacks on the rights of the family, life, and religious freedom. This mission is inspired by the Holy See's document, The Charter of the Rights of the Family, which articulates fundamental principles, rights, and duties knowable by right reason as illuminated by faith.PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt

In 2022, ICJF organized two (2) international conferences, both conducted in Rome, Italy. Three (3) "on-line" conferences were conducted in 2021. In March of 2020 (prior to COVID), and in 2015, 2016, and 2018, ICJF held international conferences at Ave Maria Law School (Ave Maria, FL). In 2017 and 2018, ICJF conducted international conferences at Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University, in Warsaw. This first line of activity (international conferences) leads to ICJF's other lines of activity. Please see below (Publishing, Web Presence, and Media Alerts). ICJF conducts conferences for Catholic jurists and scholars. In 2013, the Pontifical Council for the Family and The Union of Catholic Jurists cohosted an International Conference, in Rome, entitled The Rights of the Family and the Challenges of the Contemporary World. The idea for a website was launched in 2013 at the conference cohosted by these two entities. The website developed into the ICJF organization. In 2015, ICJF incorporated in Florida under its original name, the International Center on Law, Life, Faith, and Family (ICOLF). From 2014 to 2021, conferences studied pertinent issues of the day touching on law, life, faith, and family. Past conferences have focused on persecution and genocide of Christians, the nature and meaning of equality and non-discrimination, the global compacts on migration and refugees, the nature and meaning of international human rights, and clerical sexual misconduct. Over the years, numerous international expert meetings and strategy sessions have been held at Ave Maria School Law in Naples, Florida, at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University, in Warsaw, and in Rome. Outcome initiatives have included the publication of books and the creation of expert coalitions and related initiatives. In 2021, the name of the organization was changed to the International Catholic Jurists Forum (ICJF) to better reflect its principal work of providing a meeting place for Catholic jurists and scholars from around the globe. In 2022, for the first time, ICJF conducted two (2) international conferences, both in Rome. Please see our website at https://icjurist.org/ for more details.$0$37,951
PUBLISHING: ICJF international conferences have resulted in the publishing of scholarly books and articles as well as the formation of projects to address critical international moral issues. The following books are the published proceedings of conferences organized by ICJF, most of the editors are advisors to ICJF, many advisors of ICJF also contributed chapters in the books: Humanae Vitae and Catholic Sexual Morality, eds. Robert Fastiggi and Matthew Levering (Catholic University of America Press: 2024). Lived Experience and the Search for Truth: Revisiting Catholic Sexual Morality, eds., Deborah Savage and Robert L. Fastiggi (Enroute Books and Media: 2024). Gender Ideology and Pastoral Practice: A Handbook for Catholic Clergy, Counselors, and Ministerial Leaders, eds., Theresa Farnan, Susan Selner-Wright, and Robert L. Fastiggi (Enroute Books and Media: 2024). ICJF Executive Director interviewed for a Spanish Documentary "Valientes" (The Brave): According to an article about the above, "'Valientes' is a new documentary that promises to move and challenge audiences with stories of individuals and institutions fighting to defend Christian principles around the world. This film gives voice to those from Europe, America, and Africa who tenaciously and courageously defend natural and Christian values in the face of pressure from secularist and globalist agendas." Information about ICJF, some of its work products, and its collaboration with other organizations, is posted at the ICJF website under headings entitled, Projects, Books, Conferences, News, Resources, and Media. For example, under Projects, is a description of how ICJF "interfaces with international scholars, experts, and government officials to build strategies to assist persecuted Christians around the globe." This is referred to as "The JP II Persecution Project." (Please see ICJF's website at https://icjurist.org/icjf-projects/ for more information.) Under Books, are descriptions and book reviews of six (6) books published by Catholic scholars. For example, two of the books, Clerical Sexual Misconduct: An Interdisciplinary Analysis, and Clerical Sexual Misconduct: A Foundational Conversation, were published after ICJF's international conferences of 2018 and 2021, respectively. Please see ICJF's website at https://icjurist.org/books/ for more information.$0$36,715
