Alphonsus Liguori, whose teachings inspired the establishment of the Academy.
The Pontifical Alphonsian Academy (Italian: Pontificia Accademia Alfonsiana; Latin: 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.[1] In 2023, Pope Francis granted the institute the title of "Pontifical."[2] The Academy grants both the licentiate and the doctoral degrees in moral theology.
