History
The Theological Academy was founded in 1695 by the Florentine Rafael Cosimo de Girolami, later a cardinal . In 1718, Pope Clement XI approved the creation of the academy and assigned it the status of a papal academy. Pope Benedict XIII eight years later approved the curriculum and provided the necessary funding. In 1956, it was reformed by Pope Pius XII (log Magister veritatis ).
Current status
The Academy is headed by a council that elects a president (as of 2013 - Dr. Manilo Sodi, SDB ). The total number of academicians is 40 people, which are divided into honorary, current and corresponding members. There is a post of “protector”, which is occupied by the current cardinal prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education (as of 2015, Giuseppe Versaldi ). The academy's residence is located at Lateran University . The Academy has been publishing Divinitas magazine since 1947.
