The Pontifical Roman Seminary ( Italian : Pontificio Seminario Romano Maggiore ) is the oldest seminary of the diocese of Rome .
history
The Roman Pontifical Seminary was founded on February 1, 1565 as a result of the resolutions of the Council of Trent to improve the training of pastoral workers. The first seat of the seminary was the Palazzo Pallavicini . The location changed several times in the following centuries until the seminary finally found its location near the Lateran Basilica in 1913 .
Theological studies took place in the first two centuries at the Jesuit- run Collegium Romanum , from which the Pontifical Gregorian University later developed. The seminary was closed on September 7, 1772 - shortly before the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773 - and reopened on November 1, 1774 under the direction of the Diocese of Rome.
Today the Pontifical Lateran University is located directly at the seminary , where the majority of the seminarians study. The institution is currently training not only candidates for priesthood from the diocese of Rome but also candidates from other Italian dioceses and, to a lesser extent, foreign seminarians.
