Pope Francis opposes integrating Rome's 400-year-old Pontifical Urban University into other pontifical universities.

Pope Francis opposes a proposal to integrate Rome's 400-year-old Pontifical Urban University, which educates priests and religious for mission territories, into other pontifical universities. He calls for balancing the unique identity of the Urban University with addressing current challenges faced by the Church and the world. The university is currently undergoing restructuring, and the Pope emphasizes the importance of maintaining its missionary and intercultural education to better mediate the Christian message for other cultures and religions.
