Sacred Consistorial Congregation
Serves As Executive 'Personnel
Department' Of Catholic Church
By James C. O'Neill
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
VATICAN CITY — The Sac
red Consistorial Congregation is
the executive personnel depart
ment of the Catholic Church.
Through it, His Holiness Pope
Pius XII chooses and checks on
more than 200 archbishops and
1,000 bishops, governing 400
million Catholics all over the
world.
Actually the congregation,
which is one of the 12 admin
istrative bodies of the Church,
has three distinct jobs. Its ma
jor responsibility is the selec
tion and supervision of the
Church’s hierarchy. It also must
care for the spiritual welfare
of all Catholic emigrants of the
Latin Rite and for the interna
tional supervision of the Apos-
tolate of the Sea.
The least demanding of its
jobs today is the preparation of
matters to be discussed in con
sistories — it gets its name from
this duty — where the Pope
meets with the Cardinals. It ful
filled this function this June,
when His Holiness Pope Pius

XII held the first consistory in
four years.
When the Consistorial Con
gregation was permanently set
up in 1587 by Pope Sixtus V,
it had considerable power, in
cluding the power of creating
new dioceses. In later centuries
It lost most of its functions, un
til St. Pius X rescued it from
near extinction in 1908. He gave
it wide jurisdiction to which
other popes have added.
Heading the Consistorial Con
gregation as prefect is Pope
Pius XII. He is assisted by 19
Cardinals. His Eminence Mar
cello Cardinal Mimmi is Secre
tary of the Congregation and is
responsible for its overall opera
tion. Assisting him is Msgr.
Giuseppe Ferretto, the Assessor
or under-secretary. Among the
Cardinals on the Congregation
are two Americans, their Em
inences Frances Cardinal Spell
man, Archbishop of New York,
and James Francis Cardinal Mc
Intyre, Archbishop of Los An
geles. His Eminence Giuseppe
Cardinal Pizzardo is a member
of the. Congregation in his ca
pacity as Secretary of the Sac
red Congregation of the Holy
Office.
Most of the world’s hierarchy
is under the jurisdiction of this
congregation. But not all. Bish
ops in mission territories are
under the Sacred Congregation
for the Propagation of the
Faith, and prelates of the East
ern Rites under the Sacred Con
gregation of the Oriental
Church.
In some countries where the
appointment of bishops and
establishment of dioceses are
matters of state, the Sacred
Congregation for Extraordinary
Ecclesiastical Affairs has juris
diction but works closely with
the Consistorial Congregation.
This congregation can erect
dioceses, as it did lhst year in
the United States when it cre
ated the dioceses of Rockville
Centre, N. Y., and New Ulm,
Minn.
It can nominate Ordinaries,
who are bishops with full power
to govern a diocese; also coad
jutor and auxiliary bishops and
apostolic administrators. In the
U. S. alone last year the congre
gation nominated 15 bishops in
10 states.
Creating new dioceses and
choosing bishops requires lots
of ground work. To divide ex
isting dioceses, the Consistorial
Congregation, working with the
Apostolic Nuncio or Delegate of
a particular country must de
termine how the new diocese is
to be set up. It must apportion

parishes, schools, hospitals and
other religious facilities so that
the new unit is self-supporting
from a financial and religious
point of view, and can take care
of the needs of the Catholics
within its boundaries.
Selection of a priest as a can
didate for the episcopate also
requires painstaking investiga
tion and care. The method of
selecting bishops in the United
States was carefully outlined by
the congregation in a decree is
sued in 1916.
The process, according to a
1916 decree, begins in the
priest’s own diocese. His bishop
suggests his name as a candi
date to the Metropolitan arch
bishop and his candidacy is dis
cussed during a meeting of the
bishops of the metropolitan pro
vince held once every two
years.
Lists of priests approved in
these meetings are forwarded to
the Apostolic Delegate in Wash
ington, D. C. He in turn sends
the names to the congregation,
which conducts its own investi
gation of the proposed candi
dates.
Thus, when there is an open
ing, a roster of carefully inves
tigated names is on hand for the
Pope to use in making his final
choice of the man he will name
bishop.
All bishops under the Consis
torial Congregation must sub
mit detailed reports on their dio
cesan affairs once every five
years. They usually submit it in
person during their “ad limina”
visit to Rome. The term “ad
limina” means “to the thresh
old” and refers to a required
visit which bishops must pay to
the tombs of SS. Peter and Paul.
These visits are officially re
corded and the bishops leaves a
certificate recording the “ad
limina” visits with the congre
gation.
The five-year reports keep the
congregation thoroughly posted
on the state of religious life and
affairs throughout the world. If
the reports are not satisfactory,
the. congregation may discuss
them with the bishops concern
ed. If circumstances justify it,
the congregation may send an
Apostolic Visitor to make an on-
the-spot investigation. This offi
cial reports on his findings and
the congregation takes what
ever action is necessary.
Each year certain blocs of
countries submit their reports in
a regular cycle, thus preventing
too great a jam of paper work
in any one year.
Supervision of military ordi-
nariates is another of the con
gregation’s responsibilities. In
1957, the congregation establish
ed military vicariates — juris
dictions within the armed forc
es which are regarded as dioces
es — in the Netherlands, Argen
tina, Belgium and the U. S. It
also changed some of the facul
ties of the vicariates of France,
England and Spain.
Pope Pius XII has added to
the congregation’s many-sided
duties that of caring for the
International General Secretari
at of the Apostleship of the Sea
and of providing religious care
to Catholic emigrants of the
Latin Rite.
Msgr. Ferretto is president of
both the secretariat of the Apos
tleship of the Sea and of the
Supreme Council of Emigra
tion. The secretariat of the
Apostleship of the Sea has 15
national representatives, al
though the place of the U. S. on
the board is vacant now.
Twenty-two countries are rep
resented on the Supreme Coun
cil of Emigration, with the
Church in the United States be

In its way, this council re
flects the complex problems and
international scope of the Con
sistorial Congregation’s respon
sibility within the Church.
In 1957, the council provided
missionary priests and chaplains
to thousands of emigrants. It
opened a parish for Portuguese
emigrants living in Hartford,
Conn., and either set up or ex
panded religious facilities for
Hungarians in Switzerland and
Argentina, for Germans in
Chile, for Latvians in Germany,

BEIRUT, Lebanon, (NC) —
The Auxiliary' to His Eminence
Ignace Gabriel Cardinal Tap-
pouni, Syrian Rite Patriarch of
Antioch, has issued a plea for
peace and brotherhood in this
rebellion-torn Arab nation.
Bishop Gregoire Ephrem Jar-
jour went on the radio in the
wake of armed clashes in Bei
rut and expressed the Catholic
point of view against “every
kind of violence, destruction, as
sassination and blood-shedding,
illegal rebellion, as contrary to
the principles of all religions.”
Speaking in Arabic, the Bish
op said that the strife is op
posed to “the spirit of Faith and
charity that should reign among
sons of the same fatherland
and . . . against every form of
civilization — be it eastern or
western — not to speak of this
land of ours where the revealed
truths of God were given man
kind to be an example for, the
whole world . .
Bishop Jarjour said that in the
“critical circumstances of the
moment,” it is the duty of Leb
anon’s spiritual leaders to de
clare their attachment to Leb
anon’s independence, their res
olution to foster “close collabo
ration between Lebanon and its
brethren, the Arab states, as
well as all the nations of the
free world,” and the promotion
of Christian-Moslem brother
hood.
“This heritage must not suf
fer the threat of being lost,” the
Bishop said. “I am certain that
I here express the sentiments of
all the religious heads who have
their beloved country sincerely
at heart. For that reason, we
pray the Lebanese people ever
to have in mind God and the
welfare of their countrymen,
and hold the welfare of Leba
non above all personal consider
ations, any kind of selfishness,
and whatever may be motivated
solely by a clan spirity.”
He concluded:
“I pray God to hasten an end
to the present strange situation
in which we find ourselves, so
that Lebanon may once again
have peace and reclaim its priv
ileged place in the family of na
tions, upholding its centuries-
old traditions which will bear
out anew the truth Of the fam
ous Arab proverb: “Happy is he
who has an inch of ground in
Lebanon whereon his goat can
graze.’ Hear, O Lord, our
prayer! ”
