 Katholieke Universiteit Leuven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (or K.U.Leuven, or in English Catholic University of Leuven - also the translated name of its French-speaking sister university) - is a Flemish university, located in the town of Leuven in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking (northern) region of Belgium.
It was founded in 1425 by Pope Martin V and is now the oldest Catholic university in the world still in existence.
The Dutch University of Leuven remained in the city of Leuven, while the French speaking Université Catholique de Louvain moved to the newly built campus of Louvain-la-Neuve, south of the linguistic border dividing Belgium.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: University of Louvain
Louvain is in the very heart of this literary movement, and, apart from the subtle trifling with ideas which endangered orthodoxy, reference must be made, and often with well-deserved praise, to the brilliant phalanx of linguists, philologists, and historians gathered at the university.
Louvain was celebrated and many studied there in preference to the Protestant universities of Germany and Holland (Wils, "L'illustre natio germanique", Louvain, 1909).
In seeking to impregnate the university with centralizing and royalist ideas the Austrian ministers and particularly the Marquis of Nony, the commissioner attached to the university, practically defeated the attempt to reform the programme of studies.

 New Oxford Review
Pierre Macq, Rector of the Catholic University of Louvain (CUL), claims that the University is not in conflict with the Catholic Church.
Rector Macq goes on to say that the basic position of the CUL is to respect the dignity of human life — even the most fragile — and every interruption of pregnancy is a transgression of this principle.

The Catholic University of Louvain (Leuven in Flemish, a Dutch dialect) is one of the glories of Belgium.
A Catholic giving a lethal injection to his patient at the latter’s request should be aware of the fact that any form of suicide is a grave offense against God and will be punished by pains which — according to mystics — by far exceed the pains that we can endure on this earth.
The real Catholic, far from feeling himself to be better than others, humbly acknowledges that the blessing he enjoys by having the fullness of revealed truth is a clarion call to live in a state of constant gratitude.

The national conservative government reopened the university in 1790, but it was again suppressed in 1797 by the French who had annexed the Netherlands.

It was not a whiff of a madeleine cookie that sent a group of former Ukrainian students of the University of Louvain, as it did Proust, on a road of remembrance of things past, but a hard realization that, unrecorded, a page of history could be lost.
The university, founded in 1425, became famous in the early 16th century when Erasmus, regarded as the greatest intellectual of his time in Western Europe, made Louvain his permanent residence.

For more than two centuries after its founding, the University had no general library; students and professors relied mostly on local bookstores and their own private libraries.
The University’s library begins in 1627 with the bequest of a former student, Laurent Beyerlinck, who was canon of the Cathedral of Antwerp.
The University, and its library, fell victim as well to the turmoil resulting from the fall of the French Empire in 1814, when Louvain became the site of one of three state universities under the Dutch regime.
