Sacred Congregation of the Ceremonial (lat. Congregatio pro caeremoniis) - the congregation of the Roman Curia, which was entrusted with the leadership of all papal ceremonies, as well as the ceremonial of cardinals, at the papal court.



History and functions


It is unknown who created this congregation. Many attribute its establishment to Pope Sixtus V, but others attribute the establishment to his immediate predecessor, Pope Gregory XIII. Some historians speculate that the latter opinion is more proven to be correct by immediate accounts of the congregation. If this is the case, the error of some authors is obvious when they believe that this congregation will be little more than part of the Sacred Congregation of Rites, or derived its existence from the latter.


The Congregation of the Ceremonial, on the other hand, is older than the last named congregation, and dealt directly with the highest division of the Liturgy, considering the characters whom it concerns. This congregation is entrusted with the leadership of all papal ceremonies, as well as the ceremonial of cardinals, at the papal court ( aula) or chapel. It is reasonable that a special congregation should have at its ceremonies the most august and solemn concerns, since it has the highest importance that when the supreme head of the Church participates in ecclesiastical functions, accompanied by the most illustrious dignitaries of the Church. All must be in keeping with this etiquette that befits their character and the nature of the service they are conducting. As with all courts, there is the office of master of ceremonies, who is entrusted with directing the actions of the sovereign in state cases, so that it must be necessary for him at the papal court to exercise control over such functions. This requirement is entrusted to the Congregation of the Ceremonial, which, in addition to directing the liturgical functions, is entrusted with the leadership of the ceremonial of the papal court, for the reception of sovereigns or ambassadors.


The Congregation also kept in touch, giving instructions to the legates of the Holy See to maintain proper etiquette in the conduct of their missions. This congregation also instructed the members of the Noble Guard and the ablegate, who were sent to convey the news of their ordination to the new cardinals living in the Catholic states outside Rome, along with the cardinal's cap and red biretta. She instructed the newly appointed cardinals, also, according to the etiquette which accompanies accordingly with their new dignity. Finally, it resolves issues of seniority and position that arise among cardinals or among ambassadors to the Holy See.


The congregation was abolished in 1968 during the curial reforms by Paul VI.



Prefects of the Congregation of the Ceremonial since 1884


  • Carlo Sacconi (March 28, 1884 - February 25, 1889)

  • Raffaele Monaco La Valletta (March 1, 1889 - July 14, 1896);

The Dominican missionary Giovanni da Lucca was sent to Circassia to promote Catholicism and was there from September 18 to December 28, 1629. Upon his return to Italy, he reported on his activities in Circassia, which was approved by the fathers of the congregation. The Report of the Holy Congregation by G. da Lucca was published by the Italian scholar S. Ciampi in 1839.

The main thing that can be said about Circassia is that the Circassians inside the country have neither true rituals, nor letters, but have their own customs and an extravagant lifestyle, which is difficult for Catholic priests in these parts. I will say, however, that after the successes I have achieved, in Circassia, many souls can be sent to the true path who have decided to know the life of Jesus Christ.

After Emiddio's father returned from Constantinople, and Reginaldo's father from Servia, I and Father Constance da Lucca (brother of J. da Lucca - V.A.) departed for Circassia on September 18, 1629 and arrived in Temryuk, which is one from the main cities of Circassia. Everywhere you look, fruits are everywhere, which are traded almost only by the Turks; some of them are Christians who have been baptized by a Greek priest residing in Kieria; people who are tributaries of the Tatars and Turks come to him from nearby areas; these are mostly Circassians in language, but not in customs and not in spirit, like those who live in interior areas Circassia; their prince is called Shaban-Ogly.

We were two brothers, and I will present here some of the conversations we had with the prince. We were asked where we intend to go; I replied that I wanted to go to Circassia, namely to Zhanna and Bolettekoy (that is, to the Zhaneevites and Temirgoytsy - V.A.), and if possible, even further inland. He (the prince) asked what I intend to do there; I replied that we were directed by the holy pope to preach the law of Jesus Christ. He told me that this is crazy, and that if I want to drive through this country, I need to have two heads: one to drive in that direction, and the other back, since those who went there did not come back, and that we will be sold there like pigs, and that these people do not know either Christ or Mohammed. The guide, whom we took with us and whose name was Zhanbek, told us that there was no need to be afraid, and told me that he had clothes for sale, and that I would be accompanied by a Circassian merchant who knew Turkish, and that I myself I will be able to watch and listen while selling the dresses that they wear during work, and that they will not harm me in any way, so that I could send Father Constanzo and the translator back, and I did as the prince advised me, all the more that to For 5 years now we are ashamed, we do not have true knowledge about this people; so I bought some knick-knacks - buttons, cotton, knives, mirrors, needles and thimbles and went on a trip.

By order of the prince, I was accompanied by a Circassian priest, of small stature, sold to the prince by the Turks; the prince entrusted him with the purchase of slaves in Circassia. We were also accompanied by a Pole slave by the name of Jacob, who had once been captured in Poland; he knew a little the Circassian language and Latin and turned out to be a heavenly angel for me.

Finally, on October 1, 1629, we set off on 60 small boats and, walking along the lakes and rivers, in 8 days reached Bolettecoy, which has many villages. Here we paid a visit to the prince and presented him with some trinkets. He asked us who we are and what we trade. I replied through an interpreter that I was a Latin priest sent to them by the Great Pope to teach them our faith and writing, and that my product was intended for the knowledge of the way of Christ, which is the way to heaven. He immediately kissed my hand and said: "Welcome, bless the soul of your holy Pope, who cares about us so much, since we have long wanted to know what needs to be done to save our souls." Then he hugged me again, inviting me to settle in his home, while the priest and Jacob were settled in another.

Annuario Pontificio-1979,

Sacred Congregations .

For a long time the affairs of the Ecumenical Church were decided by the Apostolic Chancellery. But the increasing number and complexity of the issues to be discussed gave rise to the need to create special commissions of cardinals for an acceptable distribution of administrative issues.

The first such stable commission was the Holy Congregation of the Inquisition, established by Paul III by the constitution "Lycetus" of 21.7.1542. Then others arose, established by Pius IV, Gregory XIII, Paul V. But only Sixtus V by the constitution of "Immanence" of 22.1.1588 for the first time organically distributed the dicasteries of the Roman Curia. The distribution of Sixtus V, reorganized by Clement VIII, Gregory XV, Urban VIII, Clement IX, and Pius VII, has essentially remained in effect to this day. Once created to resolve administrative issues, the congregations, in essence, determined the solution of issues in a legal manner. To precisely define the boundaries of jurisdictions and administrations and to define characteristic features Each congregation, St. Pius IX on June 29, 1908 promulgated the constitution "Sapienti consilio" and the addition "Order to be preserved in the Holy Congregations, Tribunals and Services of the Roman Curia". These norms were partly incorporated into the Code of Canon Law and partly remained in force to this day (can. 243 § 1) as special legislative measures, if they are not refuted by the code or special instructions.

Congregations are standing commissions of cardinals to administer church grandfathers. Every Congregation is composed of cardinals, one of whom is the Prefect of the Congregation. The specific features of the Congregation are determined by different administrative branches to the extent that in the Church there is no clear division between legislation and administration. As a rule, the Congregations are not limited by territory: the Congregation for Bishops, the Congregation for Sacraments, the Congregation for the Clergy, the Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutions, and the Congregation for Catholic Education, which are limited with regard to Eastern Rites and Missionary Territories. Congregations of the Eastern Churches and the Evangelization of Nations.

Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

(Congregatio pro Doctrina Fidei)

Under the name of the Holy Congregation of the Ecumenical Inquisition, it was founded by Paul III with the constitution "Litset ab initio" (21.7.1542) to protect the Church from heresies. Sixtus V reorganized the entire Roman Curia with the constitution of Immensa Eterni Dei (23 January 1588) and approved the organization and competence of this congregation. With the reorganization of St. Pius X by the Constitution "Sapienti Consiglio" (dated 28.6.1908), the name was changed: Holy Congregation of the Holy Chancellery (this term was already used in previous centuries) and added to it a section of indulgences. Benedict XV motu proprio "Alloquentes" of 03/25/1917 handed over the section of indulgences to the apostolic penitentiary, adding the abolished congregation of indexes to the Holy Chancellery as a special section. Can. 242 CIC defined the competence of the Holy Chancellery. Finally, Paul VI motu proprio "Integra Servando" of December 7, 1965, reorganized the Holy Congregation of the Holy Chancellery, changing the name and methods, as indicated in the motu proprio itself: "To protect the faith today it seems best to develop the doctrine."

The competence is defined in paragraphs 3-8 of the mentioned motu proprio, namely: all matters of doctrine and ritual, or related to faith; the study of new teachings and the development of studies and conventions on these teachings, the abolition of those that appear to be contrary to the principles of faith; study and possible condemnation of books; "privileges of faith", judgment of wrongdoing versus faith.

If necessary, this congregation can act as a tribunal (No. 11). For offenses against faith, the process takes place in accordance with the usual rules of law; when protecting the sacrament of repentance, special norms are observed, according to the great delicacy of the subject. In any procedure, the widest possible protection is provided. In its work and research, the congregation is assisted by a number of its advisors, selected from among prominent personalities from all over the Catholic world. The consultants' meetings take place regularly once a week (usually on Monday). After reviewing the documents and proposed studies, they vote, but this is only of an advisory value.

The questions, together with the prepared studies and the views of the consultants, are discussed at the regular meeting of the Congregation of Eminent Cardinals, which takes place on a weekly basis (usually on Wednesday). The cardinals decide by an advisory vote and their decision is presented to the Holy Father for authorization.

International Theological Commission.

Implementing the proposal of the First Synod of Bishops, Paul VI on 11 April 1969 established the International Theological Commission at the Holy Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and, as an experiment, approved its charter, then appointing its members.

The duties of the commission include helping the Holy See and, above all, the Holy Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in studying the most important doctrinal issues.

The chairman of the commission is the Cardinal Prefect ("temporarily") of the Holy Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

The commission consists of theologians from different schools and nations, known for their knowledge and faithfulness to the doctrinal authority of the Church. Members (no more than 30) are appointed by the Holy Father for 5 years on the proposal of the Cardinal-Prefect of the Holy Congregation after consultation with episcopal conferences.

The Commission meets in plenary session at least once a year,
but can carry out its activities through subcommissions. The research results are presented to the Holy Father for possible use by the Holy Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith (AAC, 41, 1969, no. 8, p. 540)

Sacred Congregation for Bishops.

(Congregatio pro Episcopis)

This ancient dicasterium was established by Sixtus V by the Immens' constitution of January 22, 1588 under the name: Congregation for Church Building and Consistorial Measures; then the name was changed: "Holy Consistorial Congregation. St. Pius X by the constitution" Sapienti considio "of 29.6.1908 changed the nature of the congregation and gave it the competence to elect bishops, establish dioceses and chapters of canons, oversee the administration of dioceses, regime, discipline and the administration of teaching in seminaries, which in the past applied to other congregations (bishops and monastics, the Cathedral and the Holy Office) and the abolished commissions.

He also gave her the duty to remove doubts about the competence of Sts. Congregations. The prefect was the Holy Father himself. CIC in 1917 approved the most important part of these features.

With the apostolic constitution "Regimini Ecclesie Universière" of August 15, 1967, Paul VI again changed the name of the congregation: "The Holy Congregation for the Affairs of Bishops" and gave it the following competence: " , divide and unite dioceses, provinces and ecclesiastical regions and revise their boundaries; in the same way, create military vicariates and prelatures for special pastoral activities in different regions and for special categories of people, prepare everything related to the appointment of bishops, apostolic administrators, coadjutors and auxiliaries bishops, military vicars and other vicars and prelates with personal jurisdiction. " In case of need for diplomatic intervention, these measures are carried out in conjunction with the Council for Public Affairs of the Church. The Holy Congregation is also obliged to inform and monitor everything that concerns the personality and ministry of bishops, the state of dioceses, study 5-year reports, organize apostolic visits; study everything related to private councils and episcopal conferences and study their minutes; to study the norms by which, through episcopal conferences, it is possible to respond to the most urgent needs of believers and, in coordination with other dicasteries, to participate in editing the general direction for the use of bishops. In addition, she takes care of primates, metropolitans, the provision of St. pallium and prepares questions for discussion in the consistory.

Motu proprio "Apostolic Caritatis" of Paul VI of 19.3.1970 was established depending on the Holy Congregation for Bishops Pontifical Commission on Shepherding for Migrants and Tourists , to help migrants, and the apostolate at sea, in the air, among nomads and tourists.

Finally, in July 69, the same congregation was included Papal
commission for Latin America (CAL).

Established by Pius XII on April 19, 1958 to study the problems of Catholic life in Latin America in general, in close cooperation with Sts. By the dicasteries of the Roman Curia, who are interested in these issues, the KAL was now aiming to oversee the work of the Latin American Episcopal Council (CELAM) and the organs of bishops within nations, providing assistance with personnel, the economic means of the Church in Latin America.
Established by Pavel U1 on November 30, 1963 General Council for Latin America includes KAL together with representatives of the National Episcopal Authorities in Europe and North. America for Latin America, the international unions of abbots and abbots general, CLAR, to coordinate work and initiatives. He studies especially interesting topics for better cooperation for the benefit of the Latin American continent. It will have its own study committee with 2 sections: assistance by personnel and assistance by economic means.

Sacred Congregation of the Eastern Churches.

(Congregatio pro Ecclesiis Orientalibus)

It was created by Pius IX by the "Romani Pontifices" constitution on 6.1.1862 within the Congregation of Propaganda, but Benedict XV motu proprio "Dei Providentis" of 1.5.1917 made it autonomous. Its competence was clarified by Pius XI motu proprio "Sancta Dei Ekkdesia" from 25.3.1938 On issues of dioceses, bishops, clergy, monastics and believers of the Eastern rite. It has all the jurisdiction of the Congregations for the Grandfathers of Bishops, for the Clergy, for the Religious and Secular Institutions, and for Catholic Education in relation to dioceses, bishops, clergy, monastics and believers of the Latin rite (can. 257, no. 1,3); in addition, it has exclusive power in the following areas: Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula, Eritrea and North. Ethiopia, South Albania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Turkey and Thracian Turkey (motu proprio, cit.) And Afghanistan (since 7.8.1950).

Sacred Congregation for Sacraments and Worship.

(Congregatio de Cultu Divino et Disciplina Sacramentorum)
(currently divided into two: Sacraments and Worship)


Established by the apostolic constitution "Constance Nobis" of 1975, replacing the Holy Congregation for the Sacraments and the Holy Congregation for Divine Worship, which were abolished by the same constitution.

The new congregation has two sections: for sacraments and for worship, which respectively have the competence of the two previous Congregations.

The competence of the section on the sacraments is described in the constitution of the "Regimini Ecclesia" (15.8.1967, ch. IV, articles 54-57). She studies everything related to the discipline of the 7 sacraments, without affecting the competence of the Holy Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which covers the doctrine, the apostolic signature, as regards marriage affairs or the duty to observe justice or to establish regional and interregional tribunals; and the Holy Roman Rota for annulment of marriages.

This section deals with all that is decreed or assigned in the administration of the sacraments and in the celebration of the Eucharist. In addition, it can give absolution over the head of bishops and exempt believers from the Eucharistic fast or, if the Holy Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith deems it necessary, priests who celebrate mass.

She and she alone, in addition, studies the affairs of uncompleted marriage between a Catholic and a baptized non-Catholic, between baptized non-Catholics, between baptized and unbaptized, both Latin and Eastern rites. She is looking into the issues of "permits" and everything related to these grandfathers.

In cases of uncompleted marriages of Eastern Rite spouses, she prepares what needs to be studied through a group of experts on Eastern issues.

In the same way, should she study questions of ordination and study questions of the validity of ordination, or should she submit them to a competent tribunal if the Holy Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith deems it necessary?

The competence of the section on worship is described in the constitution "Sacra Ritum Congregation" dated 8.5.1969 and is connected with matters of worship, - liturgical and extraliturgical, in pastoral and ritual aspects, with the approval of calendars, with the revision and preparation of liturgical texts and rituals, with interpretation norms and headings of liturgical books. In addition, the section maintains contact with the Episcopal Conferences in approving the minutes, in ordering and in relation to the extraliturgical worship. She is interested in the liturgical apostolate in all its expressions, with close contact with national liturgical commissions, with commissions for music and sacred art, and with liturgical and pastoral institutions.

The Worship Section, like the Sacraments Section, draws on the work of an international team of experts in its writings.

On these issues, the entire Latin Church is subordinate to this congregation, including, with regard to uncompleted marriage, the territory of the Holy Congregation for the Evangelization of Nations.

Sacred Congregation for Clergy.

(Congregatio pro Clericis)

The Congregation for the Clergy is the new name given by Paul VI to the Holy Cathedral Congregation on the basis of the Constitution of the "Regimini Ecclesia Univers" of 15.8.1967. The history of this congregation goes back to the "Interpretation of the Council of Trent of Cardinals": it was established by Pius IV by the apostolic constitution "Alias \u200b\u200bnose" 2.8.1564 to comply with the exact interpretation and practice of the rules sanctioned by the Council of Trent. Gregory XIII expanded her competence, and Sixtus V entrusted her with the revision of the acts of the provincial councils and, in general, the implementation of the reforms of the Council of Trent. Later, the duty to interpret the canons of the great council ceased and the competence of this dicasterium was transferred meanwhile to other congregations, but the dicasterium retained its historical name of the Cathedral Congregation until December 31, 1967. Until the new name and new competence given by Paul VI to the apostolic constitution, the functions of the congregation were specified in can. 250 of the Code of Canon Law.

The current competence of the Holy Congregation for Clergy Affairs is indicated in nos. 65-70 of the apostolic constitution "Regimini Ecclesie Universiade" and is divided into three offices:

1) the 1st Chancellery collects, recommends and develops initiatives related to the holiness and intellectual ordering of the clergy's pastorship (diocesan priests and deacons), oversees cathedral chapters, pastoral councils, presbyter's councils, abbots and priests who are engaged in pastoral ministry, etc. through a special Council, and accordingly distributes the clergy throughout the world;

2) The 2nd Chancellery takes care of the preaching of the Word of God, apostleship and the organization of catechesis, develops and approves pastoral and catechetical decrees, national and international catechetical congresses, specifies the norms for the religious instruction of youth, children and adults.

3) the 3rd Chancellery is engaged in the preservation and management of the secular property of the Church, oversees charitable foundations, wills, temples, shrines, artistic property, real estate, taxes, contributions, charitable receipts, and in addition, takes care of the appropriate compensation for the work of the clergy, about assistance on sickness and old age, on health care, etc.

The Holy Congregation for Clergy Affairs has a studio established by
Benedict XV on October 28, 1919, so that young priests can receive practice in the ordinary and regular handling of church affairs and in the application of canon law to matters of government.

With the permission of Paul VI, by letter of 7.6.1973, the Congregation was assigned an International Catechetical Council to facilitate the exchange of experience, study important catechetical topics in the ministry of the Apostolic See and Episcopal Conferences, and for suggestions and recommendations.

Sacred Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutions.

(Congregatio pro Institutis Vitae Consecratae et Societatibus Vitae Apostolicae)

Founded by Sixtus V on May 20, 1586 under the name "The Holy Congregation for the Counseling of Religious" and approved by the Constitution of "Immens" on January 22, 1588, in 1601 it was united with the Holy Congregation for the Counseling of Bishops and other prelates. St. Pius X, with the Constitution "Sarienti Consiglio" of 29.6.1908, again divided the two institutions and subordinated the bishops of the Consistorial Congregation, so that the congregation of monastics became autonomous. She is primarily concerned with everything related to monastic orders and congregations (male and female) and Societies assuming a joint life (regime, discipline, research, state of law, privileges - can. 251 § 1). The competence extends to all aspects of the life of monastics: Christian life, monastic life, religious life; has a personal character, has no territorial boundaries; some specific questions of monastics may be transferred to the competence of other congregations (can. 251, §2). It exempts from the common law those who are subject to it (can. 251, § 3). Finally, it has jurisdiction over the Third Secular Orders (can. 251, § 1) and secular institutions (the constitution of "Provida Mater" of 2.2.1947, motu proprio "Primo feliciter" of 12.3.1948). The study of various issues was entrusted to different commissions (on constitutions, on visits, on the study of general chapters, on appeals, on absolutions, on the formation of monastics, etc.).

Since October 23, 1951, the Congregation has a Practical School of Religious Law.

With the Constitution of the Regimini Ecclesie Universiès of 15 August 1967, Paul VI called the Congregation of Religious the Holy Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutions.

Sacred Congregation for the Evangelization of Nations ( Propaganda FIDE ) (Congregatio pro Gentium Evangelizatione)

This dicasterium dates back to the Cardinal Commission established by Pius V and Gregory XIII for missions in the East and West Indies, among the Italo-Greeks and on ecclesiastical matters in the Protestant territories of Europe (Germanic Congregation). Clement VIII established the Propaganda Fidet Congregation in 1599, which ceased to exist a few years later. Gregory XV, by the constitution "Inkrustabili" of 22.6.1622, re-established it in a permanent form, convening for preliminary works January 6 of the same year a commission of 13 cardinals and 2 prelates. Its function was to spread the faith throughout the world with a greater emphasis on territories rediscovered by that time. Now the territories of this Holy Congregation include parts of Southeast Europe and the Americas, almost all of Africa, the Far East, New Zealand and Oceania, with the exception of Australia and the Philippines.

The Holy Congregation has exclusive jurisdiction in these territories on the basis of the canons of the Council Decree On Missionary Activity, with the exception of the competence of Sts. Congregations for the Doctrine of the Faith, For Saints, Eastern Churches, Catholic Education for Universities, and the Congregation for Sacraments and Worship in relation to annulled and uncompleted marriages and matters of ritual and liturgical texts. In addition, all monastics as missionaries depend on this congregation, as well as all male and female institutions that are fully engaged in missionary work. The Congregation establishes and subdivides missionary districts as required; leads the management of missions and studies all issues and messages of orders and episcopal conferences, oversees the Christian life of believers and clergy, charitable organizations and Catholic Action, oversees the best management of Catholic schools and especially seminaries.

The Congregation must also regulate, coordinate and stimulate missionary activities and missionary cooperation throughout the world, with the exception of the law of the Eastern Churches (Adgentes, No. 29). This latter function of missionary cooperation and stimulation is mainly carried out by the Pontifical Missionary Action, which includes: Propaganda Fide, St. Peter for the indigenous clergy, Missionary among children. Missionary Union.

Sacred Congregation for the Canonization of Saints.

(Congregatio de Causis Sanctorum)

By the constitution "Imensa eterni Dei" dated January 22, 1588, Sixtus V created the Holy Congregation of Rites and instructed it to regulate worship and study the affairs of the saints. These competences were entrusted to the same dicaster, since the deeds of the saints ended with the introduction of one servant of God into the cult of the Church.

The idea of \u200b\u200bdividing the Holy Congregation of Rites into two dicasteries, already discussed in the bosom of the commission for the reform of the Curia, carried out by St. Pius X, was implemented by Paul VI in the Apostolic Constitution "Ritum Congregation" of 8.5.1969 (AAC 61.1969, p. 297-305), which created two congregations: for worship (abolished on 7/11/1975 by the creation of a new Congregation for Divine Worship and Sacraments) and for Saints. With the same constitution, the new Congregation for Saints was given its own structure. It consists of 3 offices: 1) legal, 2) general promoter of faith, 3) historical and hagiographic, which is a continuation of the historical section established by Pius XI on 6.2.1930 (AAC 22.1930, pp. 87-88).

The congregation has its own office, headed by a clerical
a notary and two rows of consultants (theologians and historians).

Holy Congregation for Catholic Education.

(Congregatio de Institutione Catholica de Seminariis atque Studiorum Institutis)

Under the Immensa Constitution of January 22, 1588, Sixtus V established the Congregation for University Studies in Rome to head education in the universities of Rome and other cities (Bologna, Paris, Salamanca, etc.). Leo XII with the constitution "Kvod divina sapiencia" dated 28.8. 1824 created a congregation, research for the schools of the papal state. Since 1870, the competence has extended to Catholic universities. The reform of St. Pius X (the Constitution of the "Sapienti Consiglio" of 29.6.1908) approved these functions. Benedict XV motu proprio of 4/11/1915 created in the Congregation a section of seminaries, which were formerly part of the Consistorial Congregation, and united it with the Congregation for Studies, which became known as the Congregation for Seminaries and University Studies. With the apostolic constitution "Regimini Ecclesie Universié" of 1.8.1967, Paul VI approved the name of the Holy Congregation for Catholic Education, adding a third chancellery for Catholic schools.

Under the same Holy Congregation, the “Papal Action of Priestly Vocations” was established (Motu proprio Pius XII “Kum Nobis” dated 4/11/1947), whose activity received impetus and was reflected in the Council Decree “Optatam Totius”, No. 2 (28. X.1965).

The competence of the Holy Congregation for Catholic Education covers
three sections: 1) all seminaries (with the exception of those dependent on the Holy Congregations of the Eastern Churches and the Evangelization of Nations) and all educational institutions monastics or secular institutions, as far as the scientific training of pupils is concerned; 2) all universities, faculties, institutes and higher schools of ecclesiastical or civic studies that are physically or morally dependent on ecclesiastical personalities, as well as institutes and associations of a scientific direction; 3) all schools and institutes (educational or educational) of any up to the university level, depending on the church authority and aimed at the formation of secular youth, with the exception of those dependent on Sts. Congregations of Eastern Churches and Evangelization of Nations.
