The Teaching Function of the Church » Catholic Education » Catholic universities and other institutes of higher studies
Canon 807. The Church has the right to establish and to govern universi-ties, which serve to promote the deeper culture and fuller development of the human person, and to complement the Church’s own teaching office.

Ius est Ecclesiae erigendi et moderandi studiorum universitates, quae quidem ad altiorem hominum culturam et pleniorem personae humanae promotionem necnon ad ipsius Ecclesiae munus docendi implendum conferant.
Canon 808. No university, even if it is in fact catholic, may bear the title ‘catholic university’ except by the consent of the competent ecclesiastical authority.

Nulla studiorum universitas, etsi reapse catholica, titulum seu nomen universitatis catholicae gerat, nisi de consensu competentis auctoritatis ecclesiasticae.
Canon 809. If it is possible and appropriate, Episcopal Conferences are to take care to have within their territories suitably located universities or at least faculties, in which the various disciplines, while retaining their own scientific autonomy, may be researched and taught in the light of catholic doctrine.

Episcoporum conferentiae curent ut habeantur, si fieri possit et expediat, studiorum universitates aut saltem facultates, in ipsarum territorio apte distributae, in quibus variae disciplinae, servata quidem earum scientifica autonomia, investigentur et tradantur doctrinae catholicae ratione habita.
Canon 810. §1 In catholic universities it is the duty of the competent statutory authority to ensure that there be appointed teachers who are not only qualified in scientific and pedagogical expertise, but are also outstanding in their integrity of doctrine and uprightness of life. If these requirements are found to be lacking, it is also that authority’s duty to see to it that these teachers are removed from office, in accordance with the procedure determined in the statutes.

§2 The Episcopal Conference and the diocesan Bishops concerned have the duty and the right of seeing to it that, in these universities, the principles of catholic doctrine are faithfully observed.

§1. Auctoritati iuxta statuta competenti officium est providendi ut in universitatibus catholicis nominentur docentes qui, praeterquam idoneitate scientifica et paedagogica, doctrinae integritate et vitae probitate praestent utque, deficientibus his requisitis, servato modo procedendi in statutis definito, a munere removeantur.

§2. Episcoporum conferentiae et Episcopi dioecesani, quorum interest, officium habent et ius invigilandi, ut in iisdem universitatibus principia doctrinae catholicae fideliter serventur.
Canon 811. §1 The competent ecclesiastical authority is to ensure that in catholic universities there is established a faculty or an institute or at least a chair of theology, in which lectures are given to lay students also.

§2 In every catholic university there are to be lectures which principally treat of those theological questions connected with the studies of each faculty.

§1. Curet auctoritas ecclesiastica competens ut in universitatibus catholicis erigatur facultas aut institutum aut saltem cathedra theologiae, in qua lectiones laicis quoque studentibus tradantur.

§2. In singulis universitatibus catholicis lectiones habeantur, in quibus eae praecipue tractentur quaestiones theologicae, quae cum disciplinis earundem facultatum sunt conexae.
Canon 812. Those who teach theological subjects in any institute of higher studies must have a mandate from the competent ecclesiastical authority.

Qui in studiorum superiorum institutis quibuslibet disciplinas tradunt theologicas, auctoritatis ecclesiasticae competentis mandatum habeant oportet.
Canon 813. The diocesan Bishop is to be zealous in his pastoral care of students, even by the creation of a special parish, or at least by appointing priests with a stable assignment to this care. In all universities, even in those which are not catholic, the diocesan Bishop is to provide catholic university centres, to be of assistance to the young people, especially in spiritual matters.

Episcopus dioecesanus impensam habeat curam pastoralem studentium, etiam per paroeciae erectionem, vel saltem per sacerdotes ad hoc stabiliter deputatos, et provideat ut apud universitates, etiam non catholicas, centra habeantur universitaria catholica, quae iuventuti adiutorio sint, praesertim spirituali.
Canon 814. The provisions which are laid down for universities apply equally to other institutes of higher studies.

Quae de universitatibus statuuntur praescripta, pari ratione applicantur aliis studiorum superiorum institutis.
