Cardinal Peter Erdo also participated in the Jubilee Ceremony of Pazmani Peter Catholic University

At the jubilee ceremony to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the founding of the College, András Veres, Chancellor of the University, emphasized: The College has created a scientific field in the field of Hungarian academic life and university education that looks forward to the future in its existence. And in her views. Andras Veres touched on the following: Today there is a great demand for holistic healing, which considers people in the unity of body and soul. In order to achieve this healing, it is important that the disciplines complement each other’s work and work in a spirit of complementarity. The ongoing work of the Electronics Department contributes greatly to the achievement of this new old goal. He added: The comprehensive nature of the college is also achieved in that everything is done in the spirit of faith, and with a theological background, considering that man is the most perfect creation of God.

Peter Erdo The Cardinal, Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest, noted in his greeting that the college’s founder, Tamás Ruska, had already dreamed of creating a Catholic IT college during the regime change, where the latest scientific thinking and faith could be encountered. This was a big dream, he added, because until the regime changed, science could not have a formal relationship with faith, and theology and religious outlook were “excluded from the world of higher education and science.”

Tamás Ruska testified “with enthusiasm” that a college should be established that would draw on international experience and train successful researchers. The Cardinal said that the college justified its aspirations, describing it as important to maintain the position that the college gained when it was established, whether in the field of research or education.

Géza Komenets, Dean of PPKE, highlighted in his greeting: The college’s motto, Fides and Ratio, indicates that true science does not conflict with true faith and true faith does not conflict with science, in fact, they support and illuminate each other. The university president said that a full examination of reality is impossible without the harmonious cooperation between these two.

At the ceremony, Peter Erdo and Andras Veres unveiled and blessed the marble plaque commemorating Pope Francis’ visit to the college in April. According to the press release received at the event, the Faculty, founded by Professor Tamas Ruska in 1998, is a unique educational center in Central Europe, where information technology and engineering sciences combine with molecular and neurobiology, as well as medicine.
