Congregation for the Clergy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Congregation for the Clergy (Congregatio pro Clericis) is the congregation of the Roman Curia responsible for overseeing matters regarding priests and deacons not belonging to religious orders. The prefect of the Congregation does not deal with clerical sexual abuse cases, as those are handled exclusively by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. But the Congregation for the Clergy office does handle requests for dispensation from active priestly ministry, as well as the legislation governing presbyteral councils and other organisations of priests around the world.
The Congregation for the Clergy has its origins in the "Sacra Congregatio Cardinalium Concilii Tridentini interpretum" instituted by Pope Pius IV on August 2, 1564. It was known as the "Sacred Congregation of the Council" prior to 1967.
