The IRPL describes itself as “an interreligious, nonpartisan research and education institute whose purpose is to advance a religiously informed public philosophy for the ordering of society.” It was founded by Richard John Neuhaus, a Catholic priest and leading neoconservative. IRPL publishes the journal First Things. It has received funding from the main conservative foundations and counts leading neoconservative scholars, commentators, and activists on its Editorial Advisory Board, including Jean Bethke Elshtain and Glenn Loury. Neoconservative activist and scholar Midge Decter serves on the advisory board of First Things, and conservative ideologue John DiIulio has written for the journal.
