School of Theology

Teologia

In the context of the pluralism of modern cultures, the School of Theology offers a program of formation marked by a strong Christocentrism, an orientation based on the conviction that a deep knowledge of the mystery of Christ is the perennial foundation for the transformation of human beings and the world.

The School’s formative agenda in both the educational and research levels is translated into the following choices of method and content:

  • A presentation of the intrinsic connection between the revealed truths as expression of the mystery of the Trinity and of its communication of love in Christ;
     
  • The mystery of the whole Christ, Head and Body, as the deep foundation of the essentially ecclesial character of any theological reflection–communion with the Church, with her doctrine, tradition, liturgy etc., is a necessary premise to any pursuit of theological knowledge of Revelation;
     
  • The intimate connection between the divinity and humanity of Christ as the light by which one understands the relation between faith and reason, both in theology and in one’s worldview, consequently deepening the meaning of created realities and their autonomy, and giving rise to a spirit of openness to a peaceful encounter with the natural, historical and social sciences;
     
  • The call to holiness, rooted in Baptism, and further diversified according to the various charisms and vocations in the Church, as a background to a more coherent vision of the theological and ethical dimensions of Christian existence.
     
  • Il lavoro della Facoltà si struttura in base ad un Istituto di Liturgia e a cinque Specializzazioni:  Teologia dogmatica, Teologia morale, Teologia spirituale, Teologia biblica e Storia della Chiesa.

On Friday, May 10th, 2024, the annual University Feast in memory of Blessed Álvaro del Portillo, our founder and first Grand Chancellor, will take place.

As a special guest, we will have the artist and sculptor JAGO, the pseudonym of Jacopo Cardillo, author of numerous exhibitions and installations. As stated on his website: "His artistic research is rooted in traditional techniques. JAGO uses marble as a noble material but addresses fundamental themes of the era he inhabits, establishing a direct relationship with the public through the use of video and social networks, to share the production process."

The schedule for the Feast will be as follows:

The Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, in order to mitigate as much as possible the economic effects of the increase in the mandatory contribution for enrollment in the National Health Service (SSN), has entered into an agreement with the company EUROP Assistance (via EXE Insurance Broker), which offers its students from non-EU countries who wish to join, an insurance coverage useful also for obtaining a residence permit.

The policy can be taken out starting from Monday, April 15, 2024.

The cost is € 250.00 annually.

The information page with all the instructions regarding the Policy can be found at: assicurazionesanitaria.pusc.it
