c. to teach clergy theology and canon law.
Medieval universities grew out of cathedral and monastic schools and were sponsored by the Church mainly to train priests and church officials in theology, canon law and related subjects. Broader academic thinking and secular training were later developments and byproducts, but the primary purpose was clerical education.
