Lengua española

 

El curso «Cristianismo y cultura en Roma» pretende formar a profesores, administradores y personal universitario en el conocimiento y la valoración del papel fundamental que el cristianismo ha desempeñado en la formación de la civilización occidental, y así prepararlos mejor para los retos de la nueva evangelización de la cultura contemporánea. Consigue estos objetivos a través de tres medios principales:

1- El estudio sistemático -histórico, filosófico y teológico- de los elementos clave que constituyen la «cosmovisión» (Weltanschauung) católica, en particular su visión de la persona humana, Dios y el mundo natural, y el análisis de la sociedad contemporánea desde esta perspectiva.
2- Visitas guiadas a Roma, donde la teoría de la cosmovisión católica se enriquece al ser testigo del desarrollo histórico de la cultura cristiana.
3- Actividades religiosas como la misa diaria, oportunidades para confesarse, una peregrinación a Asís y una audiencia con el Papa, para fomentar un encuentro personal y transformador con Cristo.
