Congregation for the Clergy
Description:
The formation of priests means following a singular ‘journey of discipleship’, which
begins at Baptism, is perfected through the other sacraments of Christian Initiation,
comes to be appreciated as the centre of one’s life at the beginning of seminary formation,
and continues through the whole of life.
This Ratio Fundamentalis emphasises that formation - both initial and ongoing - must
be seen through a unifying lens, which takes account of the four dimensions of formation
proposed by Pastores Dabo Vobis. Together, these dimensions give shape and structure to
the identity of the seminarian and the priest, and make him capable of that ‘gift of self to
the Church’, which is the essence of pastoral charity
