	The ordination of women in the Roman Catholic Church
		Such universities are not referred to as religious, but their academic units are known under the name of the church which sponsors them.
		The Pontifical Universities in Rome (Gregorian, Lateran, St. Thomas and others), the specifically “ecclesiastical faculties” (Theology, Canon Law and Philosophy) of The Catholic University of America are good examples for this category.
		Also, it may not be wise to compel Catholic universities which operate freely and vigorously in a secular society to enter into a legal bond with the church if by this act they become so disadvantaged civilly that they lose their position and must reduce their service to the community.

	International Higher Education--8/5
		In the 1960s many universities felt they had to "protect" themselves from the advocates of the "social apostolate" who pointed the finger at institutions that they blamed for failing to react to the plight of the majority who live in misery.
		Several rectors mentioned that this integration of efforts by the universities and the social apostolate is a sign of the maturing of the Jesuit Order itself--an indication of the ability of its institutions to see their purpose as lying outside themselves and in the community beyond its walls.
		Although the rectors hoped there would be more Jesuits available for the university vocation in the future, there was no pining for the good old days of the "long fl line" or seeing the laity as a "necessary evil" that had to be tolerated because of the diminishing number of Jesuits.

	Pontifical university - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Pontifical University is a Roman Catholic university established by and directly under the authority of the Holy See.
		Pontifical universities follow a European system of degrees in the sacred faculties, granting the baccalaureate, license, and doctorate.
		These ecclesiastical degrees are prerequisites to certain offices in the Roman Catholic Church, especially considering that bishop candidates are selected mainly from priests who are doctors of sacred theology or canon law and that ecclesiastical judges and attorneys must at least be licentiates of canon law.

	Pontifical Urbaniana University - Ateneo
		However, in 1926, during the Pontificate of Pope Pius XI, the Urban College moved to the Janiculum Hill, to a modest, old building that was later on replaced by the larger and more functional construction the University occupies today.
		During one of His visits to the University on the 19th October 1980, Pope John Paul II addressed the students and teachers with these words: “Your University is, we could say so, almost a tangible and visible sign of the universality of the Church, embracing within Her own unity the diversity of all peoples...
		In October 2006 the Pontifical Urbaniana University was endowed with new Statutes and Regulations providing a more organic framework of the opportunities offered by the institution in the field of education and its commitment in the scientific research.

		More than a century later, many of the insights of his Encyclical Letter have lost none of their interest from either a practical or pedagogical point of view — most particularly, his insistence upon the incomparable value of the philosophy of St Thomas.
		The Statutes were amended and completed with the approval of the Roman Pontiffs Benedict XV (II February 1916) and Pius XI, who on 10 January 1934 combined this Academy with the Pontifical Academy of the Catholic Religion, which, in circumstances that were then very different, had been founded in 1801 by Fr Giovanni Fortunate Zamboni.
		I am pleased to recall Achille Ratti (1882) and especially Giovanni Battista Montini (1922), who, as young priests, obtained their doctorates in Thomistic philosophy at this Roman Academy of St Thomas and were later called to the Supreme Pontificate, taking the names of Pius XI and Paul VI.

	Pope John Paul II 28 November 1996 Address to all Pontifical Academies
		My gratitude goes also to the distinguished presidents and members of the individual Pontifical Academies who, in the light of their long and rich experience, have striven to renew the presence of their respective institutions in the heart of contemporary cultures, promoting that systematic interdisciplinary collaboration which scientific progress has now made indispensable.
		If it is true that every Pontifical Academy has a task of its own and a specific field of activity, it is also true that the recent reform answers the need for the necessary co-ordination of their respective work, while safeguarding the legitimate autonomy of each one.
		And may your Pontifical Academies, renewed and ready to accept the challenges of the new millennium, witness like a powerful symphony to the eternal newness of God and of the marvels of creation.
