The International Journal of Catholic Studies is the bilingual academic journal published by the Centre for Catholic Studies, CUHK, in collaboration with The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press, beginning in 2025. It consolidates the former Hong Kong Journal of Catholic Studies and Catholic Theological Review. The Journal has two main objectives. First, it aims to promote academic exchanges between Chinese and Western cultures by developing Catholic studies across various disciplines such as social sciences, history, culture and interfaith dialogue. Second, it aims to strengthen the relationship between the Catholic faith and contemporary Chinese culture through dialogue and interaction by promoting the expression of Catholic disciplines (such as Bible, theology, and canon law, etc.) in Chinese.

The journal is divided into three sections: Special Feature, Regular Contributions and Book Reviews. The Special Feature aims to explore a selected topic from various aspects. Regular Contributions are for essays that do not belong to the special feature category. They could be any study on Catholicism, and it particularly welcomes dialogue and discussion on papers published in this journal or certain current phenomena in the Church and society. The scope of the Book Review focuses primarily on recent titles in the study of Catholicism and various ecclesiastical disciplines, published in Chinese or foreign languages. The International Journal of Catholic Studies welcomes original work from Catholic and non-Catholic scholars. After receiving the manuscript, the editorial board will invite a blind peer review by two scholars. Review opinions will be returned to the author within two months. Once notification of acceptance is issued, the copyright of the manuscript goes to the journal. The publication will be available in both digital and print formats, and each author will receive two complimentary print copies.
