Propaedeutic for Liturgy

 

 

Introduction
In recent years it has become increasingly evident that many students arrive in Rome for university studies without having the appropriate linguistic tools for such work. Since many seminars and university systems in every part of the world do not give importance to the study of languages, both ancient and modern, the student who comes from such an experience often feels lost in the multilingual environment of Rome and is not ready to face the study of liturgical texts in the original language. Just as it is impossible to study the Bible at university level without knowing Hebrew and ancient Greek, it is equally impossible to study the liturgy at this level without knowing Latin (as far as Roman and Western traditions are concerned) and ancient Greek (one of the fundamental languages - among others - within the many Eastern traditions).
In order to respond to this pressing need, the Pontifical Liturgical Institute has developed a special programme for those who have never studied Greek and Latin, or whose knowledge of these languages is not yet sufficient to use the biblical-liturgical sources. An admission exam (end of September) will allow the student to enrol directly in the two-year licence programme, or in the preparatory year. Latin will be taught five days a week; Greek three days a week. The language of instruction is Italian. Lessons last 90 minutes. At the same time, the student must also attend the Pro Seminar and two other obligatory courses on the current reading of the liturgical constitution and Latin between the late ancient period and the early Middle Ages.
Certificate At the end of the preparatory year, the student who has attended and passed the exams will receive a certificate of attendance with profit.

The study of the original languages also has a practical value, since some problems in pastoral practice have their origin in the misunderstanding of the editio typica latina. The Pontifical Liturgical Institute is proud to present the preparatory year of language studies as part of its service to the universal Church.

Doctorate in Liturgy


1. Pupils who have completed all the examinations and taken the Licence thesis interview with an overall final grade of not less than 9/10 points are enrolled in Cycle III. The aim of Cycle III is to provide the Candidate with a personalised programme and the opportunity to create a solid foundation for the Doctoral Thesis.

2. The programme includes a seminar in the first semester and two (2) courses of your choice in the second semester, among those offered in the current academic year that have not already been supported and in agreement with the Dean.

3. For this reason, the Candidate, after having discussed and chosen with the Moderator the theme of the Doctoral thesis and the area in which this theme is located, shall present the Written Proposal for the Third Cycle to the Dean, which must contain three essential elements:
a. the description of the theme of the the thesis,
b. the configuration of the area,
c. the bibliography for the study of the area (no less than 15 titles).
 The Headmaster with his Council, having seen the written Proposal for the III Cycle, appoints the Lauream Commission, composed of the Moderator, a First Censor and a third Professor who could become Second Censor, once the III Cycle of the Candidate is concluded.

4. The Lauream Committee, convened and presided over by the Headmaster or his delegate, if the cultural characteristics of the written Proposal for the III Cycle are judged satisfactory, approves it and establishes the courses that the Candidate will have to attend with a final exam (the comparative liturgy course is always obligatory for everyone) and the languages that he will eventually have to learn. The Candidate, therefore, in the course of the year for the III Cycle, must:
a. attend the doctoral seminar (with final examination),
b. to attend any other courses at PIL or in other faculties also of other Universities (with final exam),
c. learn any assigned languages (with a learning testimony),
d. read the bibliography of the Proposal,
e. draft a written paper, not less than 50 pp. and not more than 100 pp., under the supervision of the Moderator and the First Censor.

5. At the end of the year for the Third Cycle, the Candidate must have successfully completed the courses assigned to him/her, demonstrate knowledge of any foreign languages indicated to him/her, read the bibliography and completed the written paper. Within two months from the delivery of the written paper, the Lauream Commission, convened by the Moderator, establishes the point of the paper as the theme for the Lectio coram. The date of the Lectio is established by the Dean, who will personally (or through his delegate) communicate the point of the paper 72 hours before the day of the Lectio. The Lectio is to be given in front of the Lauream Commission, presided over by the Dean or his delegate, and does not last more than 45 minutes. The discussion between the members of the Commission and the candidate follows for another 45'. The total duration of the examination is 90'.

6. After the discussion, the Commission withdraws, assesses the result of the three tests (the paper, the Lectio and the discussion) and expresses the judgement of suitability of the Candidate for the Doctoral Thesis. This judgement is immediately communicated to the Candidate by the Dean together with the Lauream Committee (which thus closes its task). From this moment on, the Candidate can deliver the Thesis Proposal (Thesis outline, Bibliography, Methodology and Research Purpose) to the Dean who, with his Council, will give a favourable opinion. Moderator and First Censor are the same who composed the Lauream Commission. At the delivery of the Doctoral Thesis, the Dean and his Council appoint the second Censor (who may also be the third professor of the Commission).

7.
All the students who have started the Licentiate course since the academic year 1999-2000 belong to the new Third Cycle system.

8. Students who, having attended and passed the exams of all the prescribed courses, wish to submit their doctoral thesis after the end of the III Cycle, are required to enrol as out-of-course students (see the list of "School Fees").

Baccalaureate in Liturgy

 

 

 

 

Introduction Baccalaureate in Sacred Liturgy is aimed at preparing students for the study of the Liturgy, through a liturgical and theological formation in the reading of the sources and literature of the great authors of liturgical science, so that "the faithful may express in their lives and manifest to others the mystery of Christ and the genuine nature of the true Church" (SC. 2). The SL.B. provides the requirements for access to the Licence in Sacred Liturgy.
Requirements for admission All those who have a secondary school diploma necessary for admission to a State University in the student's country of origin can enrol in the first cycle for Baccalaureate in Sacred Liturgy (SL.B.). The Institute requires foreign students to take an entrance test to assess their knowledge of the Italian language. For students of classical education it will be necessary to take a level test to assess their knowledge of classical languages (Latin and Greek). ISSR students who have completed their studies and wish to specialise in Liturgy, as well as students who have completed five-year philosophical-theological studies but do not have the ST.B., can access the SL.B. by agreeing on a study programme with the Headmaster. Please note: The ST.B. will continue to grant access to the Licence in Liturgy, subject to an admission test of Greek and Latin and Italian only to foreign students. The SL.B. does not give the right to access the Licence in Theology. In order to gain access to the Licentiate in Theology the student will have to be recognised for the courses passed in the SL.B. and complete the programme provided for the ST.B. including the obligatory philosophical studies.
The study plan The three-year study programme includes the following areas which will be distributed in one or more subjects:
- all basic courses (125 ECTS);
- six characterising courses (30 ECTS) among the following areas:
    - Liturgy
    - Patristica
    - Sacraments
- three supplementary courses (15 ECTS) among the following areas:
    - Liturgical Spirituality
    - Spirituality and humanities
    - Christology
    - Ecclesiology
    - Anthropology
- final exam (10 ECTS):
- a Baccalaureate thesis of about 40 pages;
- or the comprehensive oral examination with a committee of three professors. The student's academic activities must reach at least 180 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System).
