Catholic Church. Congregatio Negotiis et Consultationibus Episcoporum et Regularium Praeposita.

This congregation is generally known simply as Bishops and Regulars. Its origin can be traced to the cardinalatial commission set up by Pius V (1566-1572) under the apostolic visitor, Bartolomeo di Porcia in 1570, to examine relations with the patriarch of Aquileia. The commission continued to function even after its initial task had been accomplished. Gregory XIII (1572-1585), recognizing the usefulness of these visits, used it for other purposes from 1573 to 1576, particularly for problems arising between bishops and religious. With the increase of bishops having recourse to the commission, however, it began in 1576 to function as a permanent organization under the name Congregatio super Consultationibus Episcoporum.

Sixtus V (constitution Romanus Pontifex, 17 May 1586), created a new department called Congregatio super Consultationibus Regularium (ID VATV014-A) charged with caring for the many problems that were arising among religious of both sexes. His Immensa aeterni Dei (22 Jan 1588) included this and the above organization among the new congregations formally established by this constitution in the reorganization of the Roman Curia.
