May 18, 2012. (Romereports.com) There's no better place for students to learn, than a university. With this in mind, a Catholic school in Rome, is adding a new curriculum to its list.
Starting in October, The Libera Università Maria Ss. Assunta, will take on courses that focus on the teachings of Pope Paul VI.
CARD. GIOVANNI BATTISTA RE
“He was interested in people's formation. Of course, that
included forming one's conscience, religious formation, but it also
encompassed civil responsibility.”
GUISEPPE DALLA TORRE
LUMSA Professor“What we have in mind above everything else are young
researchers not only in Italy but also a national and international
level. There are so many students that research the history of
Christianity and that of the Catholic Church.”
Paul VI served as Pope from 1964 to 1978. There was a lot going on and
that time-everything from the Second Vatican Council to the War in
Vietnam. These speakers say he was able to balance tradition with modern
times.
Even though the curriculum hasn't been officially launched just yet, the
university is already planning on taking it abroad. In August the
Catholic University of Nairobi in Africa will hold a two day program on
the teachings of Paul VI.
