The Catholic Institute of Toulouse (French: Institut Catholique de Toulouse , ICT; Latin: Universitas Studii Tolosana ) is one of five Catholic universities in France .
history
In a distant sense, the Catholic Institute of Toulouse is the successor to the University of Toulouse, founded in 1229 . On April 12, 1229 King Ludwig IX signed. and Count Raimond VII of Toulouse signed a peace treaty after completing the Albigensian Crusade , thus paving the way for the establishment of a university. As a result of the French Revolution , the university ceased operations on September 15, 1793, after more than five hundred years of teaching. Only with the law of July 12, 1875, in which the establishment of private universities was permitted, the Catholic University was reopened , with the support of the French episcopate . A law from 1880 deprived private universities of the right to designate themselves as universities, and since then it has been known as the “Institut Catholique de Toulouse”.
Goals of the institute
The institute is a canonical educational institution subject to canon law and is therefore also called “Universitas Studii Tolosana” according to this law , which corresponds to university status . In addition, state-recognized degrees can be obtained in the subjects of law, history, literature and psychology. There are also other Bachelor and Master programs.
Catholic theological faculty
The Catholic theological faculty is the oldest faculty of the ICT. Candidates for the priesthood of the dioceses in the south of France who live in the St. Cyprien seminary of the Archdiocese of Toulouse and many religious Christians complete their theological studies there. In addition, the faculty offers the degree of License Canonique . This postgraduate course is also taken by foreign priests. With the independent but affiliated institutes “Institute for the Humanities, Theology and Religious Studies” (Institut de Science et de Théologie des Religions (ISTR)) and the “Institute for Religion and Pastoral Questions” (Institut d'Études Religieuses et Pastorales (IERP)), the Catholic Institute Toulouse sets priorities. The latter in particular offers many committed laypeople the opportunity to receive certified advanced training.
Facilities
The general facilities include three lecture halls with audiovisual equipment with over 200 seats and an attached canteen. The institute also has several seminar rooms for 10 to 60 people.
Special features include the Chapel of St. Claire and a remarkable archaeological museum. The Maison Seilhan , the house of Pierre Seilhan , who welcomed the first companions of Saint Dominic of Caleruega (Domingo of Guzmán), is located on the institute's premises . 1215 was in Toulouse diocesan - Order of Preachers (later Dominicans founded).
