梵蒂冈.va The official website of the papacy.  It contains all of the documents of modern popes plus links to the work of many 梵蒂冈 committees and a wealth of resources related to church life, 教学与历史.  The site bears perusing and is searchable.

Pontifical Academy of Sciences The academy brings together eminent scientists and professors from all parts of the world to explore contemporary issues at the nexus of science and faith.  This learned society is one of two modern reincarnations of the Accademia dei Lincei, a society of  17th century scholars that once numbered Galileo Galilei among its members.  Galileo's portrait rests atop the desk of the chancellor of the academy. The website has links to the papers and proceedings of the academy, most of which are in English.

Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences This academy is under the same administration as the Academy of Sciences and similarly explores research and scholarship at the nexus of social issues and faith.  The website has links to its papers and proceedings, many of which are in English.  In 2012 the academy published Universal Rights in a World of 多样性 - The Case of Religious Freedom, the proceedings of its plenary meeting of the year before.

Pontifical Council for 文化 Blessed John Paul II founded this council in 1982 with the purpose of "establishing dialogue between the Church and the cultures of our time, so that they could open themselves up to the Christian faith, creator of culture and source of science, 文学与艺术."  Cardinal Ravasi, the president of the council, recently founded a forum called The Courtyard of the Gentiles for a cultural dialogue with the unchurched and non-believers. The website of the council has some useful links and also appears to be still in development, as you can tell from the untitled catalogue of the electronic journal, 文化与信仰,链接于 审查 in 工具.

Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue This very important council was founded in 1964 by Pope Paul VI.  It's history as reflective of the development the Catholic Church's thinking about the common theological yearning and points of contact between the religions of the world is admirably given by the late Jacques Dupuis, S.J. in Towards a Christian Theology of Religious Pluralism (1997).  The webpage is part of the 梵蒂冈 site and has links to major addresses of the council and its members.

Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace This body of scholars is housed at San Callisto in Trastevere, which is an extraterritorial possession of the 梵蒂冈.  It is responsible for the very valuable recent Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, which is linked on our site under 天主教社会正义.

Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity The origins of this council which is concerned with ecumenical relations between the Christian churches date to the Secretariat for Christian Unity founded by Blessed Pope John XXIII in 1960.
