For the first time, Pope Francis welcomed representatives from all 22 Pontifical Universities and Institutions in Rome in an audience. 

Fr. Luis Navarro, rector of the Pontifical University the Holy Cross, greeted the Pope on behalf of the group and described the importance of these different institutions.

All are essential because they contribute to the richness of the Church. In Cardinal Tolentino's words, they are basic necessities for the Church and for society.

Pope Francis highlighted the need for universities as places where different perspectives and opinions can be expressed and flourish. He encouraged those present to embrace their differences.

POPE FRANCIS
You are women and men dedicated to study—some for a few years, others for a lifetime, with various backgrounds and skills. That is why I first want to tell you, in the words of the holy bishop and martyr, Ignatius of Antioch: be committed to 'making a chorus.' Make a chorus!

The group of Pontifical Universities and Institutions is made up of 17,000 students from more than 120 countries and 5 continents.
