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

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6jn32mc (corporateBody)

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...

This congregation is better known by its Italian name, the Fabbrica di San Pietro. On April 18, 1506, Pope Julius II laid the first stone of the great new basilica dedicated to St. Peter that was to replace the first basilica constructed by Constantine the Great. By the bull Admonet nos suscepti of December 12, 1523, Pope Clement VII formally established the Reverenda Fabbrica di San Pietro in the Vatican, an administrative entity to provide for the basilica's reconstruction and sub...

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w61c7vtp (corporateBody)

In order to understand the significance of this institution, it is necessary to recall the specific duty that every bishop had to visit his own diocese personally or to send a delegate. The visit was supposed to assure the bishop of the exact observance of ecclesiastical discipline (Council of Terragon, 1234). Nicholas V (1452) realizing that these visits were losing their character and usefulness, required periodic visitations to make them more effective. The need was also emphasiz...

Arciconfraternita del gonfalone (Rome, Italy)

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w62g3mj1 (corporateBody)

The Arciconfraternita del Gonfalone, probably a derivative of the ascetic movement promoted by Ranieri Fassani, was founded in 1264 at S. Maria Maggiore in Rome by twelve noble standard-bearers (gonfalonieri) as the Compagnia dei Raccomandati della SS. Vergine. St. Bonaventure (ca. 1217-1274), then inquisitor general and later superior general of the Franciscan Order, sponsored their formation and received them into spiritual communion with the Franciscans. Their way of life, or rul...

From the early fourteenth century the Apostolic Camera was both the financial and juridical bureau for the Papal States as well as for the church itself. Moreover, its financial policy and that of the Papal States were always closely related. During the second half of the fifteenth century, however, a great change occurred in ecclesiastical finance. Income from total ecclesiastical sources of revenue amounted to only a third of what it had been in the fourteenth century, but that fr...

Shortly after the closing of the Council of Trent on December 4, 1563, Pius IV (1559-1565) appointed a commission of cardinals (Dec. 30, 1563) to ensure the application of the council's disciplinary decrees. With the motu proprio Alias Nos nonnullas (Aug. 2, 1564), he formally recognized this commission and established it as a permanent congregation called Congregatio super Executione et Observantia Sacri Concilii Tridentini et Aliarum Reformationum.

From the earliest days of the Church judicial problems and reserved cases were referred to Rome for solution. By the end of the twelfth century this continual and ever-increasing flood of requests became too burdensome for the Consistory of Cardinals. The popes, therefore, began to refer cases to members of the papal household who were called cappellani papae. This group, which was dependent on the Apostolic Chancery (ID VATV032-A), seems to be the antecedent, if not the origin of t...

The Apostolic Camera, one of the most ancient of the offices of the Roman Curia, was originally responsible for the administration of the temporalities and revenues of the Holy See. Although the term Camera appeared for the first time in Benedict VIII's constitution Quoties illa a Nobis (24 May 1017), some authors state it was the continuation of an office that had existed and been known for a long time as palatium or fiscus under the direction of the archdeacon who remained at the ...

The origin of this office goes back to the fourth century when notaries were appointed to draw up papal documents. These notaries of the Roman church were headed by the primicerius, who was in turn aided by a secundicerius. The notaries, in their capacity as scriniarii, also supervised the archives. Up until the eighth century documentation concerning this office is limited. Gregory the Great, following the example of the Roman emperors of the East, gathered the notarii ...

The correspondence was carried on in the name but no longer under t...
