Pope receives Oriel College delegation
Education
Pope Leo XIV met with a delegation from Oriel College, part of the University of Oxford, to discuss the role of education in modern society. The college, which is 700 years old, was once the site of study and teaching for Saint John Henry Newman.
The Pope highlighted the example of the saint, noting that Newman demonstrated how faith and reason are inseparable. He described Newman as a brilliant scholar who proposed a Christian formation that encompasses the whole person and measures the value of education by human dignity.
The Pope urged that Newman's integral anthropological vision be promoted in education to address contemporary challenges. He stated that Christian formation should be rooted in human dignity and service to the common good.
