CONGREGATIONE CONCILII LUCANA EXEMPTIONIS SEMINARII Lie 24 Ianuarii et 19 Iulii 1902, Sess. 23 cap. I De Ref. COMPENDIUM FACTI. III civitate Lucana Ecclesia paro­ chialis et regularis a S. Michaele in foro nuncupata in Ec­ clesiam Collegiatam secularem erecta fuit a Leone X Pon­ tifice maximo a. 1518, attributo exemptionis privilegio his verbis: « Et quod Ecclesia S. Michaelis et eius bona quae­ cumque nec non Decanus, Canonici, Cappellani, Clerici et personae quaecumque eiusdem Ecclesiae S. Michaelis tam in beneficialibus, spiritualibus, criminalibus, civilibus, vel quasi, et mixtis, quam aliis quibuscumque causis etiam ratione •delicti... a loci Ordinario et aliis quibuscumque tam ordi­ naria quam delegata et mixta auctoritate fungentibus iudi­ cibus et personis penitus et omnino exempta et exempti... et deinde Decanus Sedi praedictae dumtaxat, Canonici vero Cappellani et Clerici et personae praedictae eorumque fa­ miliares Decano et Sedi praedictae dumtaxat subiecti quoad omnia existant ». Eiusmodi exemptionem iterum iterumque confirmavit Leo X et Pontifices Eius successores , nempe Paulus III die 12 Nov. 1535 et Pius IV die 6 Ian. 1559. At harum Constitutionum in actis non extat nisi textus quem supra attuli e Bulla Leonis X ; quemque affert Decanus sibi vin- dicans omnimodam exemptionem nedum a iurisdictione fori externi, sed etiam a fori interni iurisdictione seu a parocho locali. Collegiatae ita constitutae Sixtus V a. 1588 adiiciebat Seminarium, inde a S. Michaele, etiam hodie, nuncupatum, pro instituendis clericis qui servitio addicerentur eiusdem 4 EX S. C. CONCILII Ecclesiae. Aliquid vero singulare, iam a sua institutione,. habuit hoc Seminarium quod suis aedibus instructum fuit ubi tamen alumni non agebant vitam communem, sed inibi dumtaxat constituta erant gymnasia, academiae et orato­ rium quae statis horis frequentabat clerici alumni. Hi vera pro victu et habitatione morabantur seorsim apud privatos cives. Quum hoc vitae genus parum responderet, nostra prae­ sertim aetate, moribus Clericorum instituendis; a. 1873 Seminarii Moderator, domi apud se, non in Seminario, re­ tinere coepit duodecim alumnos. Res successit, quamobrem in dies auctus est numerus clericorum qui cum Moderatore vitam agebant communem. Praeterea quo alumni commodius accederent ad Seminarii aedes, prope Ecclesiam Collegiatam S. Michaelis sitas, Moderator Fanucci a paroecia S. Fre- diani in qua hactenus moratus fuerat convictus clericorum, se una cum clericis transtulit in paroeciam S. Michaelis a. 1881. Denique hodiernus Decanus a. 1898 veterem Seminarii sedem dereliquit, atque in Palatio, quondam Manzi, valde' amplo, comprehenso in limitibus paroeciae S. Mariae Fo- risportam, constituit tum gymnasia, Oratorium, lycea Semi­ narii, tum communem Clericorum habitationem certa et per­ petua ordinatione tunc primo constitutam. Inde orta est hodierna controversia. Nam parochus ad S. Mariae Forisportam ratus est sibi in alumnos omnesque incolas Seminarii competere, munia exercere parochialia prouti facere adortus est occasione benedictionis domorum in Sabato Sancto a. 1899. Ast contradixit Decanus asse­ rens, Seminarii immunitatem a parocho loci, quia cum hac immunitate expresse donata fuerit Ecclesia Collegiata, hoc iure fruitur etiam Seminarium, quippe accessorium sequitur principale; et Leo XII cum Seminarium in pristinum re­ stituit, initio saeculi XIX eversum, ob communem rerum publicarum sub versionem, inquam, Leo XII in suis litteris postquam innuerit iam pridem, Seminarium moderari Deca- LUCANA 5 num, adhibito canonicorum et opera et consilio, subiungit: « Quoniam in praesentia ullam ipsi Seminario (canonici) opem ferre nequeunt, voluntati nostrae profecto acquiescunt, dum rei christianae, literariae, et domesticae illius Semi­ narii supremam unam eorum Collegii dignitatem nempe De­ canum praeficere statuimus et volumus ut ibidem ordinarii iurisdictione fruatur ». Quanta vero sit haec immunitas desumit Decanus ex bulla fundationis Leonis X statuentis : « Quod Ecclesia S. Mi­ chaelis et eius bona quaecumque... a loci Ordinario et aliis quibuscumque tam ordinaria, quam delegata et mixta aucto­ ritate fungentibus... penitus et omnino exempta est». Inde enim infert Decanus, alienum esse a quacumque constitu­ tione, Seminarium exemptum ab Ordinario loci, seu ab Epi­ scopo eiusque delegatis nec non, in genere, a delegatis .S. Se­ dis, esse obnoxium parocho loci. Nam hac ratione Semina­ rium subderetur Ordinario loci, cui subditur parochus ; quippe nihil praestare valet parochus quod aeque Ordinarius prae­ stare non valeat. Ad rem De Prosperis - De loco exempto - ad Decisio­ nem 24 n. 31 referens duas decisiones Rotae Rom., alte­ ram diei 29 Decemb. 1596 et alteram 1 Iunii 1708 ita com­ mentatur : « Nulla persona vel dignitas valeat exercere or­ dinariam iurisdictionem super illo loco , super illa persona •quae sub tegmine B. Petri et S. Sedis custoditur ». Item : « Exemptus aequiparatur non subditis ». Ricci Decis. Cu­ riae Archiep. Neap. p. I. Dec. 16S n. 12: « Locus exemptus et locus extra dioecesim iudicantur a pari ». Rota Horn, dec. 107 n. 3. Non secus, advertit Decanus, regulares exempti sunt a potestate Ordinarii loci et per consequens, a parochis lo­ corum . Ad diluendam vero difficultatem a parocho motam ex eo quod usque parochi exercuerunt iurisdictionem in alu­ mnos clericos dum seorsim morabantur aut dum vitam age­ bant communem in paroecia S. Frediani aut in «paroecia 6 EX S. G. CONCILII S. Michaelis, reponit Decanus, tunc alumnos iure merito fuisse obnoxios parochorum iurisdictioni quippe seiuncti vi­ vebant extra Seminarii domum. Semel ac vero in Seminario instituta est Clericorum vita communis, hi nacti sunt exem­ ptionem quam obtinet ipsum Seminarium. - Haec sunt verba Decani qui notat Seminarii domum revera semper obtinuisse exemptionem a parocho loci, quamvis ageretur de parocho ad S. Michaelis et ait: « Quindi l'antico locale del Semi­ nario di S. Michele ora è rappresentato da questo nuovo locale che è posto appunto entro i confini della parrocchia di S. Michele Forisportam. Ciò per amore di chiarezza no­ tato, è verissimo che i parroci locali esercitarono la giuri­ sdizione parrocchiale nelle due case dei Rettori Nannini e Fanucchi, ma esse non erano il Seminario, sebbene le pri­ vate abitazioni di due Rettori. E certo non si pretende da nessuno che le case appartenenti a S. Michele (sieno Ca­ nonici, Beneficiati, Seminaristi o Superiori del Seminario) siano esenti dalla giurisdizione dei parroci locali : ciò non è detto nella Bolla di Leone X ma i beni appartenenti alla Chiesa Collegiata sì, e questo è detto nella Bolla: Et quod Ecclesia S. Michaelis et eius bona quaecumque... a loci Ordinario et aliis quibuscumque tam ordinaria quam dele­ gata et mixta auctoritate fun g entibus... penitus et omnino exempta etc. ». Ex adverso parochus ad S. Mariae Forisportam advertit, ei consuetudinem certe suffragari quia parochi semper exer­ cuerunt suam iurisdictionem in alumnos clericos sive seor­ sim commorantes sive in convictum adunatos. Deinde notat, exemptionis privilegium non observari nisi apertissime probetur, utpote contrarium iuri communi seu Concilio Tridentino in Sess. 23 cap. 18 De ref. quod iussit, Seminaria subesse Ordinariis locorum. Exinde recolit paro­ chus in quadam causa - Seminarii - agitata apud S. Congr. EE. et RR. die 3 Sept. 1864 quum Clerici Regulares sibi vindicarent plenam immunitatem etiam, quoad munera pa­ rochialia, favore Seminarii in earum aedibus erecti et pro- LUCANA 7 babilissimas ediderint rationes, nihilominus Pontifex magis quam recognoscere hoc privilegium, ex novo concessit, ta­ men appositis limitibus, nimirum : « SSmus annuit iuxta preces cum exemptione tam Seminarii quam adnexae Eccle­ siae... salva tamen eidem parocho quarta funeraria in casu obitus alumnorum etc. ». Praeterea probat parochus, expostulari expressum con­ cessionis decretum ad constituendam controversam immuni­ tatem, ex ratione agendi Pii IX qui Const. Cum Romani a. 1853 disertis verbis tum Seminarium Romanum tum Se­ minarium Pium a cuiuslibet parochi iurisdictione immunia voluit et exempta.

  • PRESENTATION of the COMMUNIQUÉS of the GENERAL CHAPTER 1. from January
    [Translated from Original Spanish] Thy Kingdom Come! PRESENTATION OF THE COMMUNIQUÉS OF THE GENERAL CHAPTER 1. From January 8th through February 25th, 2014, the Extraordinary General Chapter of the Legion of Christ took place in Rome. His Eminence, Cardinal Velasio De Paolis, CS, and his two counselors, Fr. Gianfranco Ghirlanda, SJ, and Fr. Agostino Montan, CSI, presided. Sixty- one chapter fathers participated, 19 ex officio and 42 elected by the nine territories of the congregation and the centers of Rome. 2. This Extraordinary General Chapter marks the end of the journey of in-depth revision that the congregation has travelled since the apostolic visitation, which took place during 2009- 2010, and the naming of a Pontifical Delegate in the summer of 2010. Our principal tasks in the Chapter, as Pope Benedict XVI1 indicated and as Pope Francis confirmed2, were to revise the Constitutions and to elect a new central government for the congregation. 3. In the first days, in light of the reports that the Pontifical Delegate and the pro-General Director submitted, we focused on analyzing the life of the Congregation since the ordinary General Chapter that took place in 2005. One of the outcomes of the intense exchange of ideas that took place in those days was the communiqué that the Chapter approved on January 20th, 2014, about the journey of renewal of the Congregation. This same day, the elections of the new central government took place. Once the election had been confirmed and the Holy See made the two nominations that it had reserved to itself, the elections of Fr.

  • Decretum Laudis” (February 25, 1888)
    Historical memory February 25th “Decretum Laudis” (February 25, 1888) In December 1886 Father Dehon began the process of obtaining approval for his Institute. In accordance with the legislation in force at the time, he first collected a series of documents that testified to the Institute: constitutions, status of the houses and staff, and recommendations from bishops. After some time, twenty-seven testimonies from cardinals, archbishops and bishops had arrived in Rome in favour of the young Institute, and on February 25, 1888, the Sacred Congregation of Bishops and Regulars issued the decree of approval, which was signed by its prefect, Cardinal Masotti. The “Decretum Laudis” was received with great joy after many difficulties and many storms. We quote the text of the approval: Decree of Praise (Inter vepres) Among the brambles and thorns that grow everywhere in our century, in the city of St. Quentin, diocese of Soissons, in the year 1878, the pious Society called the Priests of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ of Soissons, whose purpose is to ensure that its members (alumni), renouncing earthly affections, abandon themselves in everything to the Divine Heart and strive to kindle both in themselves and in their neighbor that fire that Our Lord has come to bring to earth. What else does he want but for it to flare up! To more easily reach the goal they have proposed, they are subject to the direction of a Moderator General. They make the usual three simple vows, first temporary then perpetual, and with an "exemplary life" they eagerly look after the spiritual and intellectual formation of young people, the exact fulfillment of ecclesiastical functions, popular missions and to other works of ministry in which they give valid help to parish priests.

  • Art. 2. the Salesian Cooperators: a Specific Vocation in the Church §1
    Art. 2. The Salesian Cooperators: A Specific Vocation in the Church §1. To commit oneself to be a Salesian Cooperator means to respond to the apostolic Salesian Vocation, gift of the Spirit, taking on a specific way of living the Gospel and participating in the mission of the Church. It is a free choice, defining one’s existence. §2. Catholics of whatever cultural or social circumstance can follow this path. They feel called to live their faith life fully involved in each day’s concerns, characterized by two attitudes: a) knowing God as Father and the Love which saves; encountering in the Only-begotten Son Jesus Christ the perfect Apostle of the Father; living in intimacy with the Holy Spirit, Who animates the People of God in the world; b) feeling called and sent on a concrete mission: to contribute to the salvation of youth, committing themselves to Don Bosco’s very mission to the young and to ordinary folk 1. CONSIDERATIONS Core Theme The "Salesian" Commitment as Vocation Keys to Understanding The adventure of God, Who, through His Presence, His Word, and His Love – whether to one person or to a people – involves Himself in the vicissitudes experienced by man is a Mystery which exceeds our human comprehension. The Church is thus the “Body of Christ” and the “Spouse of the Spirit”; it is an unusual reality, which cannot be comprehended or lived deeply except within the categories and capacities of intuition and of analysis proper and exclusive to faith. Vatican Council II pointed out that the Church is the bearer of a sovereign vocation and an indispensable mission, defining Her more historically as the “People of God”.

  • A Reflection on the Bicentenary of Marianist Education by Rudy Vela, S.M., Assistant Professor of Theology at St
    Bicentenary of Education Reflection 1 | September 2019 A Reflection on the Bicentenary of Marianist Education By Rudy Vela, S.M., Assistant Professor of Theology at St. Mary’s University, San Antonio This semester, I have had the privilege of teaching a Marianist Studies course to upper division undergraduate students here at St. Mary’s University. I have enjoyed my students and discovered that they are thirsty for learning about Blessed Chaminade, his context and his vision for a Marian way of life in the Church. I teach this course tapping my passion for sharing the many moments and events that marked our founder’s tenacious quest for creating the person that never dies. This insight has exciting Chrtistological overtones but Chaminade’s ability to gather people and instruct them in their faith is what has inspired my Marianist journey during these 47 years. I am surprised to discover that in 1839, only 22 years after our foundation, Pope Gregory XVI granted the Society of Mary a decretum laudis. This is an official decree of praise acknowledging our dedication to teaching the faith. I take pride in using this information because this decree illuminates for me the historical and current privileged nature of our educational apostolate. Chaminade had the genius to recognize that teaching had to be the primary means for developing faith. The teaching ministry help refound and reform the church after a revolution and the little society dedicated its energy to educating and forming people in their faith. The Church in the time of Chaminade recognized his creativity in forming networks of teachers’ schools and lay leadership to foster and direct this ambitious initiative.

  • The Life of Don Michael Rua, the First
    FRANCIS DESRAMAUT LIFE OF FR. MICHAEL RUA DON BOSCO'S FIRST SUCCESSOR (1837-1910) Edited by Aldo Giraudo LAS – ROME 1 Original title: Vie de Don Michel Rua premier successeur de Don Bosco (1837-1910) - © LAS, Rome, 2009. Translated from the French and Italian by a team involving Julian Fox, Robert Coupe, Mary Treacy, John Dickson, Francois Dufour Overall revision of Italian text by Aldo Giraudo based on archival sources 2 INTRODUCTION The centenary of the death of Blessed Michael Rua offers us a chance to take stock of the life of Don Bosco's first successor. The Salesian Family owes much to him. What would it have become without Father Michael Rua? Others in the past have written up his life. Soon after he died, his constant friend, Fr John Baptist Francesia (1838-1930) published a 220 page book, D. Michele Rua, primo successore di Don Bosco (Turin, 1911), its only limitation being perhaps its excessive enthusiasm for its chief character. Later, when the beatification and canonisation process began, a number of testimonies to his virtues ensued. Thus, by the beginning of the 1930s, the editor of the Bollettino Salesiano, Angelo Amadei (1868- 1945), who had easy access to the Central Archives of the Congregation, began gathering a large number of documents which resulted in a monumental three volume work with a total of 2,388 pages, Il Servo di Dio Michele Rua (Turin, 1931-1934). Amadei had kept himself well informed. For example, he even had recourse to the Salesian Sisters' local chronicles. But in a desire to overlook nothing he accumulated testimonies and facts, using a purely chronological criterion to link them year by year, without ever being concerned about putting together a true and proper account.

JUSTIN’S BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES AND FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES The Lord does not create people just to occupy space. God has a plan, a vocation, a mission for every human being. Many of today’s problems are caused by the fact that people are more con- cerned about finding a job, a profession, or a career, rather than their own vocation and mission in life. A profession or career is something we do to live, to earn what we need in order to live. Vocation is something we do out of dedication and love. A profession can be chosen or inspired by our family or by human considerations but a vocation comes from on high and invites us to loving service of our neighbor.
