“Centesimus Annus Pro Pontifice” (CAPP) is a lay-led, pontifical organization and vehicle for lay education and evangelization of Catholic social doctrine, as contained in the encyclical Centesimus Annus.  CAPP is made up of business people, academics, and professionals who assist Pope Benedict XVI in the continuing call for a "New Evangelization."  It was founded by Pope John Paul II.
Pope John Paul II established Centesimus Annus – Pro Pontifice in 1993 as a vehicle for the personal and professional expression of Catholic social teaching by the business and professional community.
CAPP grew to 15 chapters in Italy and, just prior to the Holy Year, the Holy Father called for its globalization when he stated, “I wholeheartedly wish that the Foundation will grow so that it can ever more effectively work with the Holy See and the Church in the new evangelization and in promoting the civilization of love.” (September 11, 1999). In addition to the United States, contacts have been made in countries including Poland, Germany, Spain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
