Pontifical Agreement<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Amen_Fr.Dempsey_Encounterwinter2024\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It was fall 2022, and the Rev. Alberto Anguiano, rector of the Pontifical Universidad of Mexico<\/a>,\u00a0had a problem.\u202f \u202f\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A graduate of Rome\u2019s Gregorian University, Anguiano knew that aspiring priests traditionally fill the student ranks at pontifical universities such as UPM and his alma mater. Like its counterparts across the globe, however, Mexico\u2019s only pontifical university was facing enrollment challenges in light of shrinking vocations to the priesthood worldwide.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, pontifical alumni tend to form tight cohorts: Up in Houston, a fellow pontifical Houstonian graduate, UST\u2019s the Rev. Dempsey Rosales-Acosta, had been tasked with growing the University\u2019s Centro Semillero<\/a>, a Spanish-language, online-only graduate theology program. Anguiano reached out to reconnect and brainstorm.\u202f\u202f \u202f\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe issue in our conversation was how to make a liaison for mutual benefit,\u201d Rosales-Acosta remembers.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their conversations continued, and last fall yielded a groundbreaking partnership between UST and UPM that opened unprecedented opportunities for both institutions. The agreement advances two key priorities of UST\u2019s 2030 Strategic Vision \u201cGreater Things;\u201d leveraging international partnerships and achieving recognition for innovation in Catholic education.\u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eager for new students but hampered from expansion by the strict regulations governing the administration of pontifical degrees, UPM\u2019s partnership with the Centro means it will now be able to offer two new certificates containing the\u202fnihil obstat\u202fof the Vatican\u2019s Pontifical Dicastery for Education.\u202fAdditional degrees, pontifical and civil, will be added to the UPM\u2019s programming in subsequent stages of the new UST\/UPM agreement. \u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Centro, for its part, can now offer its graduates special access to UPM\u2019s prestigious programming. UST students who complete a master\u2019s degree at the Centro have permission to enroll in the UPM\u2019s new certificate programs, and when the next phases of the agreement are complete, will eventually have access to getting either a civil or pontifical degree from the UPM as Centro graduates. \u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both institutions will benefit from the resulting two-way flow of resources, curricula, students, and even faculty as each gains first-time access to a new type of academic programming. By offering civil degrees, for example, the UPM can circumvent the traditional prohibition against online instruction for pontifical degrees, while UST may eventually develop its own Pontifical B.A. in Religious Sciences. \u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis new agreement is groundbreaking,\u201d noted UST\u2019s Associate Vice President for International Relations & Engagement\u202fHans Stockton, \u201cit launches the first academic collaboration between American and Mexican universities in which the academic focus is on masters degrees taught entirely in Spanish.\u201d \u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosales-Acosta said the historic agreement, which was co-signed by Anguiano\u202fand UST President\u202fDr. Richard Ludwick\u202fduring a ceremony in Mexico City on Oct. 6, 2023, followed months of meticulous planning.\u202f \u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pontifical degrees \u201care a completely different ballgame\u201d from civil degrees, Acosta explained; each maintains its own academic policies, norms and titles, and creating a partnership that allows each institution to offer the other type of degree requires oversight and approval from both the Mexican Ministry of Education and the Vatican\u2019s Dicastery of Education.\u202f\u202f \u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe spent a year planning every single angle,\u201d Rosales-Acosta said.\u202f \u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That sort of innovation and creativity, however, reflects precisely the sort of paradigm shift Pope Francis urged ecclesiastical universities to adopt in response to the vast challenges of today\u2019s world in his 2018 apostolic constitution\u202fVeritatis Gaudium.\u202f \u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPontifical universities are recognizing that they have to open themselves to lay students in new ways,\u201d Rosales-Acosta explained. \u201cThe world is changing, and we need to create new ways to innovate, otherwise we will not be able to sustain these institutions. We need to invest in education, to form this \u2019providential cultural laboratory\u2019 called for in\u202fVeritatis Gaudium.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Centro Semillero  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2019, the University\u2019s Centro Semillero has flourished under the directorship of Fr. Dempsey Rosales-Acosta, tenured professor of Theology and Archbishop J. Michael Miller, CSB Endowed Chair in Catholic Studies.\u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The online-only, Spanish-language Centro offers two graduate programs, a Master\u2019s in Pastoral Theology and a Master\u2019s in Sacred Scriptures, and now boasts nearly 140 students.\u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the students are laypersons, according to Rosales-Acosta, and he says enrollment is booming for multiple reasons.\u202fThe Centro\u2019s online accessibility and night classes are convenient for parents, full-time workers, and students in other countries, and of course, he added, \u201cThe language is a big deal.\u201d\u202fHowever, the primary reason is a powerful sense of vocation, a desire among students \u201cto love God, serve God and serve in the community\u201d through their graduate work and ministry.\u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a desire the Centro Semillero was founded to meet. \u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Spanish, \u201cSemillero\u201d means \u201cseedbed,\u201d the carefully prepared soil where seeds are planted to germinate and grow, and Rosales-Acosta says the Centro was inspired by Proverbs 2:2-3. \u201cTune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding,\u201d the passage reads. \u201cCry out for insight and ask for understanding.\u201d\u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In light of the Centro\u2019s new partnership with Mexico\u2019s Pontifical University, that longing for wisdom is increasing, and the seedbed is expanding once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
