Vatican City, 28 October 2015 (VIS) –
Pope Francis has instituted the Foundation Gravissimum Educationis by
a chirograph bearing today's date. In the text, the Holy Father
expresses his gratitude to the Congregation for Catholic Education
for the initiatives organised to commemorate the fiftieth year since
the declaration “Gravissimum educationis” on Christian education,
promulgated the the Vatican Ecumenical Council II on 28 October 1965.
“I am likewise pleased to learn that
the same Dicastery wishes to constitute on this occasion a Foundation
entitled Gravissimum Educationis, with the aim of pursuing
“scientific and cultural ends, intended to promote Catholic
education in the world”, he adds. “The Church recognises the
'extreme importance of education in the life of man and how its
influence ever grows in the social progress of this age', are
profoundly linked to the fulfilment of 'the mandate she has received
from her divine founder of proclaiming the mystery of salvation to
all men and of restoring all things in Christ'”, he writes, quoting
the conciliar Declaration.
The Pope goes on to institute as public
canonical and civil juridical persons the Foundation Gravissimum
Educationis, whose premises will be located in Vatican City and which
will be subject to current canon law, current civil law in Vatican
City, and its statutes.
