Dicastery For Culture And Education
The Dicastery for Culture and Education is an administrative unit of the Roman Curia. It began operations on 5 June 2022 as established by the apostolic constitution ''Praedicate evangelium'' promulgated on 19 March 2022. It was formed through the merger of two earlier bodies, the Pontifical Council for Culture and the Congregation for Catholic Education.

Organization This dicastery is divided into two sections that reflect both the name of the dicastery and the organizations merged to form it: the Section for Section for Culture "dedicated to the pr ...
