The John Paul II Pontifical Theological Institute for Marriage and Family Sciences is a Roman Catholic pontifical institute of theological studies on marriage and family with affiliated campuses around the world.

History[edit]

In 1981, Pope John Paul II founded the Pontifical Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family in the Apostolic Constitution Magnum Matrimonii Sacramentum, as part of the effort to develop study on the themes around the marriage and family, as well as Catholic theology on the body.[1]

In 2017, Pope Francis issued a motu proprio Summa familiae cura ("By the greatest concern for the family"), replacing the institute with the John Paul II Pontifical Theological Institute for Marriage and Family Sciences, with a new constitution and mission.[2][a] It was also affiliated to the Congregation for Catholic Education, Pontifical Academy for Life, and Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life. The institute's chancellor Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia also anticipated inviting additional faculty and experts in light of the Institute's expanded mandate, including non-Catholics.[1]

Activities[edit]

The institute confers degrees including Doctor, Licentiate, and Diploma of Science in Marriage and Family under its own authority.[1]

Governance[edit]

The institute's governance is, as a pontifical school, largely made up of Catholic prelates. Since August 2016, the grand chancellor has been Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia.[4] The Vice-Chancellor of each session is the ordinary of the diocese in which it is located.

List of grand chancellors[edit]

From its founding in 1982 until 2016, the vicar general of Rome held the title of grand chancellor ex officio in his capacity as grand chancellor of the Lateran.
