History

Founded by Pope Sixtus V, as Congregatio pro Universitate Studii Romani. Title changed to Congregatio Studiorum in 1824, when competence extended by Pope Leo XII to cover all educational institutions of the Pontifical State. Restructured in 1915 by Pope Benedict XV, as Sacra Congregatio de Seminariis et Studiorum Universitatibus, within the framework of F-XF8042 - Administrative Hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church, joining the Congregatio Studiorum, created 1824, and having authority over all Catholic universities, with the Office of Seminaries within the Sacred Consistorial Congregation. In Aug 1967, under the title Sacra Congregatio pro Institutione Catholica, adopted a new constitution which extended authority to cover primary and secondary schools responsible to the Ecclesiastical Authorities. Present name adopted, 1988, by Apostolic Constitution 'Pastor Bonus' of Pope John-Paul II. Since the Congregation is a department of the Pope's Roman Curia for the government of the Universal Church, it is similar to a state's Department for Education and/or Culture and as such may be considered a governmental institution of the Holy See.
