pontificio
  49

Perfect, furoya. Adjective derived from the voices latinas pon pontis, bridge and facio, do. The Popes were Roman priests who were bridges. In classical Rome they cared the Pons Sublicius wood on the River Tiber, they guarded Roman law and elaborated the calendar by setting the holidays. The Christians took the name giving another dimension: the priests were who created bridges with the divinity, as it is well synthesized furoya. The Pontifical universities depend on the Vatican, as the of Holy Tomás de Aquino, the Angelicum, who is in Rome near forums, the altare della patria in the piazza Venezia and the column of Trajan.
