A pontifical university or athenaeum is an ecclesiastical university established or approved directly by the Holy See, composed of three main ecclesiastical faculties (Theology, Philosophy and Canon Law) and at least one other faculty. According to the apostolic constitution ''Veritatis gaudium'', an institution with four ecclesiastical faculties is canonically erected as an ''Pontifical university'', while one with three ecclesiastical faculties is erected as an ''Pontifical athenaeum''. These academic institutes deal specifically with Christian philosophy and related disciplines, and the Church's mission of spreading the Gospel, as proclaimed in the apostolic constitution ''Sapientia'' ''christiana''. As of 2018, they are governed by the apostolic constitution ''Veritatis gaudium'' issued by Pope Francis on 8 December 2017.
