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.

In evidenza

The Permanent Seminar of the Institute of Liturgy, entitled “The Consilium and the Liturgical Reform: Sources and Research”, will this year be devoted to the study of the Liturgical Reform following the Second Vatican Council, with particular attention to the analysis of archival sources. Central to the reflection will be the work of the Consilium ad exsequendam Constitutionem de Sacra Liturgia, the Vatican body charged with guiding and carrying out the first steps of the reform between 1964 and 1969. There will be four meetings, to be held in the months of October, November, March, and April. The lectures will take place on Thursdays (3:00 PM, room A201).

Rome, October 6, 2025

Dear students, faculty, staff, and alumni,

As we embark on this new academic year, my first thought is one of profound gratitude to the Lord for the celebrations marking the 40th anniversary of our University. These have been intense and emotionally rich months: the photographic exhibition allowed us to relive, year by year, the moments that have marked our history - from our origins in 1984 to the audience with the late Pope Francis in 2023; the shared choice of our new institutional motto, Omnes traham ad meipsum, has provided a luminous synthesis of our mission for the future; and finally, the tribute to the "pioneers" has shown us with gratitude the human and spiritual roots from which everything began.

On Tuesday, October 7, 2025, the inauguration ceremony for the new academic year 2025/26 was held. On that occasion, four Honorary Doctorates were conferred by the various Schools.

Wednesday, October 8, 2025 (11:40 AM, Giovanni Paolo II Aula Magna), as a welcoming moment and now established tradition, the Welcome Day for new students was held.

The event began with introductory greetings from Prof. Sergio Destito, followed by a training session led by Prof. Sergio Tapia. In addition, several services for students were presented, including the Academic Office and the Library.

Concluding remarks were delivered by the Academic Vice‑Rector, Prof. Cristina Reyes.

At 12:45 PM, the celebration of Holy Mass was scheduled.
