Alphonsian Academy



The Pontifical Alphonsian Academy (Pontificia Accademia Alfonsiana; Pontificia Academia Alphonsiana), also commonly known as the Alphonsianum, is a pontifical institution of higher education founded in 1949 by the Redemptorists and located in Rome, Italy.

Since 1960, the Academy has specialized in moral theology as a part of the Faculty of Theology of the Pontifical Lateran University. In 2023, Pope Francis granted the institute the title of "Pontifical." The Academy grants both the licentiate and the doctoral degrees in moral theology.
