Beginning on 1 September 2021, the Church’s flagship academic foundation for the study and prevention of the sexual abuse of children and vulnerable persons will be getting a major overhaul.

The Pontifical Gregorian University’s Centre for Child Protection is set to become “The Institute of Anthropology. Interdisciplinary Studies on Human Dignity and Care,” which will be known by the initials IADC.

A press release on Tuesday explained that the change will allow the CCP “to expand its scope, award academic degrees, and develop its own faculty.”
