‎Accademia di Religione Cattolica sotto gli auspici di Pio VIII. Pontefice Massimo Flicemente Regnante.‎

‎Rome: Accademia di Religione Cattolica 1830 This was one of the Papal academies at Rome. The academy was an association of learned men, rather than an academic institution (hence the long list of Cardinals involved!). This academy was founded in 1801 with the aim of defending the dogma and moral teaching of the Church. Monthly meetings allowed for themed discussions. The academy still exists and is located in the palace of the Cancelleria Apostolica.‎
