Talk:Pontifical university

message: I dare and doubt that Katholieke Universiteit Brussel is a pontifical university. Most probably and AFAIK, it is not. Please provide reliable sources it is indeed, either wipe it from this list as due.
Thank you for your collaborating in trying and ameliorating Wikipedia.
And Happy New Year!

thread_title:  Katholieke Universiteit Brussel ? Most probably not a pontifical university. 

message: On Heythrop College, University of London, London (Cf. ).
The Annuario Pontificio, 1980 edition (which I have at hands), does not mention Heythrop College (University of London) as "Università cattoliche" (any more) indeed. (o.c., pp. 1420-1427). I do not know whether it ever was. Then again, (in said edition) it figures among the list of "Facoltà di Studi Ecclesiastici" (o.c., pp. 1428-1436):
 LONDON (Gran Bretagna) – Heythrop College (University of
   London – 1 nov. 1964.
   Teologia – Filosofia.
     Preside: P. Copleston Frederik C., S.I.
     Indirezzo: 11-13 Cavendish Square, LONDON W1M OAN (En-
         gland).
(Extracted from: Annuario Pontificio, 1980 edition, "Instituzioni Culturali" → "Facoltà di Studi Ecclesiastici (con la rispettiva data di erezione canonica)", p. (1423) (1428) 1430.)
i.e. : as from 1964 and at least until 1979, Heythrop College (University of London) was granted to deliver ecclesiastical degrees in theology and philosopy. I do not know about its present situation. The latter should be checked with the newest (2008) edition of the Annuario Pontificio.
FYI: being granted the privilege of being an Ecclesiastical Faculty, doesn't tell anything at all about the institution (as in this case University of London) the faculty may be part of.

thread_title:  John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Lublin ? 

message: At present the list is not complete -- see Catholic Almanac 2010, pp. 546ff., for a fuller roster.   Yet expanding the list exposes a problem: there is some ambiguity and overlap between the concepts "pontifical university" and "ecclesiastical faculty".  The list of pontifical universities in Catholic Almanac 2010, taken from the Annuario Pontificio, includes some institutions, such as Georgetown, Niagara, and PUCPR, that apparently do not offer ecclesiastical degrees.   Would it be worthwhile to make a separate "List of institutions offering Catholic ecclesiastical degrees", consisting of the ecclesiastical faculties, plus some of the pontifical universities?   Or is there a better way to make this list clear?  -- Chonak (talk) 02:07, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Fu Jen Catholic University

message: This school provides canonical degrees in theology, canon law, etc (clerics like Cardinal Schonborn went there). Wouldn't it be classified as a pontifical university?C'est la vie 05:28, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Catholic Institute of Paris?

message: I suppose the article should be reorganized to distinguish ecclesiastical faculties (granting ecclesiastical degrees such as STB, JCL, etc.) from pontifical universities (which may or may not contain such faculties).  Also, there are some institutions which do not have ecclesiastical faculties of their own, but which collaborate with such faculties so that they may offer programs leading to ecclesiastical degrees.
In the U.S., an article on ecclesiastical faculties and related programs could include these institutions:
* The Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University (an ecclesiastical faculty )
* Also, the STB program at Saint Joseph's Seminary (Dunwoodie) is aggregated to the Angelicum,
* STL and STD programs at the Marian Library in Dayton are aggregated to the Marianum,
* and Sacred Heart Major Seminary (Detroit) has STB and STL programs aggregated to the Angelicum

thread_title:  Location of Jesuit School of Theology 

message: "A Pontifical university specifically addresses Christian revelation and disciplines correlative to the evangelical mission of the Church as set out in the apostolic constitution Sapientia christiana" cf. " It (Veritatis gaudium) replaces the norms of the apostolic constitution Sapientia christiana, promulgated by Pope John Paul II on 15 April 1979. The document obrogates all laws, customs, and privileges contrary to Veritatis gaudium." - I gather the latter is now the governing document? Manannan67 (talk) 20:07, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
