The Catholic University of Mechelen ((ラテン語:Universitas catholica Belgii)) was a university that was founded in Mechelen ((フランス語:Malines)), Belgium, on November 8, 1834 by the bishops of Belgium. The bishops aimed to create a university "to accommodate any doctrine from the Holy Apostolic See and to repudiate anything that does not flow from this august source". The first and only rector was the priest and historian Peter de Ram. The announcement of the bishops' founding of the University in Mechelen provoked serious riots in the cities of Ghent, Leuven and Liege as it was feared that the State education system would be destroyed by the bishops. The university was short-lived, as the bishops already moved the university headquarters to Leuven on 1 December 1835, where it took the name Catholic University of Leuven. This led to further consternation among the Belgian liberal society, which was afraid to see this new (conservative) university usurp the past of the former Old University of Leuven.〔According to Maurice Voituron, who wrote in his ''Le parti libéral joué par le parti catholique dans la question de l'enseignement supérieur'', (Brussels, 1850): "''et alors aurait paru plus évidente encore aux yeux du pays l'intention du parti catholique de tuer l'enseignement de l'État, afin de ne laisser debout que l'Université catholique de Malines, qui allait prendre le titre d'Université de Louvain, pour y usurper la renommée de l'ancienne, ainsi que ses fondations de bourses. Cependant, malgré lui, le parti catholique laissa échapper cet espoir par la bouche de son rapporteur M. Dechamps, lorsqu'il disait : "la confiance entourera de telle façon les établissements privés que les Universités de l'État, par exemple, deviendront à peu près désertes''"〕 It also reinvigorated demands for the foundation of a secular university in Brussels which would lead to the foundation of the Free University of Brussels. ==See also== *Catholic University of Leuven *Old University of Leuven *State University of Leuven *Katholieke Universiteit Leuven *Université catholique de Louvain 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Catholic University of Mechelen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
