The Classical Liberal Arts Academy (CLAA) respects and affirms the teaching authority of the Pope and Bishops in union with him, known as the Magisterium. The CLAA supports Catholic families who attend the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) provided it is offered in full communion with the Church. However, the CLAA opposes sedevacantism, unauthorized chapels, and all schismatic movements that reject or undermine the authority of the Holy Father. Fidelity to lawful Church authority is a core principle of the Academy’s mission, and students are encouraged to live and worship in obedience to the Church’s legitimate pastors.
