Why Solid Theological Formation Matters | Interview w/ Fr. Wojciech Giertych, OP

Truth, charity, and beauty—these are not abstract ideals, but the pillars of a life well lived. Theology, when truly studied, forms not only the mind but the whole person, grounding us in what is eternal and equipping us to face what is passing. In this powerful reflection, Fr. Wojciech Giertych, O.P., reminds us that theology is not a luxury—it is a necessity. Like any true science, it begins with solid principles. It leads us beyond ourselves, opening the heart to grace, and the intellect to light. At the Angelicum, in the heart of Rome, this formation comes alive. Rooted in the Thomistic tradition and open to the world, it offers a gift: a formation that serves not only the Church, but all of humanity. Fr. Wojciech Giertych is a Dominican friar of the Polish province, Theologian of the Pontifical Household, and Professor of Theology at the Angelicum.
