Programme of Studies

Theology

The programme of studies in the Institute is designed for systematic study of Catholic doctrine which rests upon the written Word of God together with living Tradition as its perpetual foundation (VG 70,1-2). It also aims at seeking solutions to human problems in the light of that same revelation (VG 69) and in dialogue with the human sciences.

It has the special duty to take care of the scientific theological formation of those preparing for the priesthood and those who are preparing to hold some particular Ecclesiastical office (VG 76,1). In imparting and imbuing the Catholic doctrine, fidelity to the Magisterium of the Church as well as to the received patrimony of the Church are emphasized (VG 73). The individual theological disciplines are “taught in such a way that … a profound understanding of the mystery of Christ” is made and it is “announced with greater effectiveness to the People of God and to all nations” (VG 70,2, VG Norms 53).
