Pope Benedict XVI Happy with State Recognition of Theology at UCU
 At a meeting on 30 March 2007 with Tetiana Izhevska, Ukraine's new ambassador to the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI praised the accreditation by the government of the theology program of the Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) in western Ukrainian Lviv.
"I would like to express my satisfaction with the law that the Ministry of Education recently passed regarding the Ukrainian Catholic University and so at the state level recognized its bachelor's degree program in theology. This is an especially important event in the life of the Church in Ukraine , because, with such a decision, the Ukrainian authorities recognize that theology is a university discipline," said the Pope.
