The new campus of the National University of Equatorial Guinea was named after Pope Leo XIV - and the rector of the place was quite happy to receive a papal rosary. "In expressing my gratitude for the kind gesture of naming the campus after me, I am aware that such a decision goes beyond the person being honored as it reflects the values that we all want to pass on to others," the pope said. "The inauguration of a university campus is more than a mere administrative act," Pope Leo emphasized. "It transcends the simple expansion of infrastructure and places for study. This inauguration is an act of trust in human beings, an affirmation of the fact that it is worth the effort to continue wagering on the formation of new generations and on the task, so demanding and yet so noble, of seeking the truth and putting knowledge at the service of the common good." "Today a space for hope, encounter and progress is opened. Indeed, every authentic academic effort is one that grows not only structurally, but also as a living organism," Pope Leo said, warning against reason that imposes its own will on others. From a Christian perspective, he said, "Christ does not appear as a religious escape in the face of intellectual endeavors, as if faith began where reason ended. On the contrary, in him the profound harmony between truth, reason and freedom are manifested." "Truth presents itself as a reality that precedes human beings, challenges them and calls them to come out of themselves," Pope Leo told the students and people of culture in front of the new academic building. "This is why truth can be sought with trust. Faith, far from shutting itself off from this search, purifies it of self-sufficiency and opens it to a fullness towards which reason strives, even if it cannot completely embrace it."
