The Pontifical University of Mexico (in Spanish: "Universidad Pontificia de México") is a private institution of higher education established by the Holy See and sponsored by the Roman Catholic Episcopate in Mexico. It is one of the two modern Mexican universities claiming to be direct descendants of the Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico ("Real y Pontificia Universidad de México") one of the first universities founded in the Americas. ["La Universidad Pontificia de México se considera continuadora de la Real y Pontificia Universidad de México, promovida por el primer Obispo de México, Fray Juan de Zumárraga, y por el primer Virrey de la Nueva España, D. Antonio de Mendoza. Erigida por Cédula del Príncipe Felipe el 21 de septiembre 1551, para que los naturales e hijos de los españoles fuesen industriados en las cosas de nuestra santa fe católica y en las demás facultades" [http://www.pontificia.edu.mx/nuestra_universidad_historia.htm Official website] ]
