Summary/Abstract: One of the most festive and solemn events in the past academic year was undoubtedly the ceremony of awarding the honorary doctorate honoris causa to Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, which took place on June 8, 2012 in the auditorium of the Collegium Maius of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. By awarding this honor, the Pontifical University of John Paul II expressed its gratitude to the Cardinal, who, as the Secretary of State of the Holy See, supported the activities of our University and the Grand Chancellor, Cardinal. Stanisław Dziwisz, to transform it to a Pontifical University. As a result, on June 19, 2009 Pope Benedict XVI lifted the Pontifical Academy of Theology in Krakow to the dignity of the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow.
