As an integral part of the Church’s teaching mission, theological faculties have a dual role: preparing candidates for the priesthood and scientifically deepening theological knowledge for a more complete knowledge of Revelation. By their very nature, they are called to cooperate with the Church’s magisterium, and the Apostolic See, or rather the Dicastery for Culture and Education , has reserved the exclusive right of canonical establishment of such faculties. This office of the Roman Curia approves statutes and programs, exercises supreme supervision, appoints deans, and grants permission for promotion to higher ranks to teachers.

The Committee for Awarding Awards and Recognitions has a president and two members, who are proposed by the Dean and appointed by the Faculty Council. If the work or work of a member of the Committee is proposed for an award, that member ceases to work on the Committee for that subject and the Dean appoints a new member only for that subject. The Committee works in sessions, makes decisions by majority vote and keeps minutes of its work. Each year, the Committee initiates the procedure by inviting proposers with a deadline, evaluates the received proposals and submits its opinion and decision on the awards to the Dean, who forwards it to the Faculty Council for confirmation. When evaluating the received proposals, the Committee must ensure that the proposed candidates for the award also meet the criteria for fostering general human, cultural, moral and academic values.

Theology as a scientific discipline took shape between the 11th and 13th centuries, when, in parallel with the emergence of universities in Western Europe, its study gradually moved from monasteries and cathedrals to university settings. Although the Enlightenment in the 18th century called into question its university status, theology has survived as an academic discipline to this day, except where it has been eliminated due to the dominance of secularism or anti-religious ideologies.
