Specialist Degree in Ecclesiastical Assets Administration
Mission-driven administration, professionalism, transparency, accountability
What can the Course offer you?
The Church today asks the administrators of ecclesiastical goods, which is always a public function within the Church, to carry out their work with an eye to the charism proper to the Church, bearing in mind the evangelical meaning of goods, but with effectiveness and efficiency. Transparency, accountability, gratuity and training (professionalism) are today vectors along which a good administration of the goods of ecclesiastical entities must run. The way goods are administered is never neutral, but must be aligned with the being and mission of the entity that owns the goods. The choices of administration, assuming effectiveness and efficiency, constitute a criterion for verifying the mission of the Church in the concrete.
This set of circumstances explains the need for an ever greater professionalisation of the administration of the Church's goods.
"Quia spiritualia sine temporalibus diu esse non possunt sicut anima sino corpore" (Synod of Saragossa in 1537). For the spiritual without the temporal cannot endure, as the soul without the body.
"Attentive care must be taken to ensure that the goods of the institutes are administered with caution and transparency, that they are protected and preserved, combining the priority charismatic-spiritual dimension with the economic dimension and efficiency, which has its own humus in the administrative tradition of the institutes, which does not tolerate waste and is attentive to the good use of resources". Pope Francis
