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.

Incontro dell'allora Cardinale Ratzinger con il corpo docente della "Santa Croce", il 31 gennaio 2002

La comunità accademica della Pontificia Università della Santa Croce, mentre eleva preghiere di suffragio per l’anima del Papa emerito Benedetto XVI, scomparso il mattino del 31 dicembre 2022, vuole onorarne la memoria proponendo una serie di articoli accademici, scritti lungo gli anni dai nostri docenti, relativi al vasto contributo di pensiero e magisteriale del defunto, sia come teologo che come 265º Successore di San Pietro al servizio della Chiesa Universale.

Con memoria grata, l’Università della Santa Croce ha avuto il piacere di averlo come ospite ancora da Cardinale, in una prima occasione il 31 gennaio 2002, per un incontro con il corpo docente dell’Università, accolto oltre che dal Rettore dell’epoca Lluis Clavell anche dall’allora professore Fernando Ocáriz, oggi Prelato dell’Opus Dei.

"The nativity scene is like a living Gospel rising up from the pages of sacred Scripture. As we contemplate the Christmas story, we are invited to set out on a spiritual journey, drawn by the humility of the God who became man in order to encounter every man and woman. We come to realize that so great is his love for us that he became one of us, so that we in turn might become one with him". (Pope FrancisAdmirabile signum, n. 1).

The Rector and the Academic Community of the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross wish everyone a Holy Christmas and a Happy New Year 2023.
