    Book 3: The Regular Clergy and the Roman Orders 


    Livre 3.1 : Preamble

    As the Aristotelian message is at the same time one, as issued by God, and dual as transmitted by Aristotle and Christos, in the same way the Church presents a single aspect, as the holder of the True Faith, and at the same time a dual one since it is constituted by both regular and secular clergymen. These two components are the two aspects of the same reality: the Church. 

    Regular clergy, according to Saint Benoit of Pisa Yaolo, spiritual Patron of Monachism and Guardian of the Tablet of Oane, is composed of faithful ones willing to live in a community so that they may develop the message of the prophets and otherwise work for its preservation/diffusion, its propagation and the general welfare. 

    The organization of the regular church includes two types of Roman Orders (OR): [/b]:

    • The Roman Religious Orders (ORR), which do not include the military organizations of the Church Their relation with Rome, and in particular the sanctioning of their statute and their Canon concerns the Congregation diffusion de la foi 

    • The Religious Military Orders (OMR), host the soldiers of the Church and often have a distinct religious wing in them.
      Their relation with Rome, and in particular the sanctioning of their statute and their Canon, concerns the Congregation of the Holy Armies.


    It is customary for members of one type of order to participate in orders of the other type.


    Book 3.2 Monasteries, abbeys and convents * 

    In this text, we will use the term abbey for all buildings dedicated to a regular monastic use (monasteries, priories and convents.) *

    Each Order consists of a monastic community. Every Order has its own charter by which its members take their oaths; this charter is often inspired by the Canon of St. Benoit. This latter, father of all the Aristotelian Charters, underlines the importance of the oath of obedience, as well as of charity, humility and chastity. 

    Abbeys, monasteries, priories and convents are places of work, spirituality, meditation, theology studies and prayer, where regular clergymen live in a community; they offer a home to the believers in retreat. There is a certain hierarchy in the abbeys, the monasteries and the convents. Some of them are the seat of their Order as a whole (and in such a case they’re called “mother”) or of a branch of it. These halls of faith are no way different from the ordinary abbeys, monasteries and convents (called “daughters”) but for the existence of a Chapitarian having authority over the rest of the abbeys, monasteries or convents of the order or the branch. The construction of such places always requires the authorization of the metropolitan archbishop of the archdiocese concerned.

    Book 3.5 Terms of Accreditation from the CDF

    The certificate of the Congregation diffusion de la foi is a necessary requirement for the acknowledgment of an Order, the foundation of an abbey or any other similar building, as well as for the appointment in certain offices. It is under the authority of the Roman Regular Chapter pertaining to the above mentioned Congregation. 

    3.5.1 Aristotelian Label 

    The Aristotelian label can be obtained by an organisation (moral person), a believer (physical person) or a building dedicated to a regular monastic use. 

    3.5.1.1 Labelling of a believer

    This accreditation concerns all the validations that must be confirmed by the congrecation diffusion de la foi in virtue of the Canon or the present text so that access to a specific office is allowed. The believer has to deposit his complete dossier to the CDF. 

    - proof of his Aristotelian baptism 
    - a Curriculum Vitae completed by a letter concerning his motives and his plans in the office he aspires to. 
    - the patronage of two clerks of the Church, of whom one at least has to be an (arch)bishop. In any case, it is recommended that one of his patrons be the priest of his parish or the bishop of the diocese of his place of origin. 
    - An oath to the Aristotelian Church and the Pope is required. The above mentioned oath must be taken before a representative of the Regular Roman Chapter during the procedure of labelling. The acceptance of the CDF validation implies the commitment by such an oath to the Aristotelian Church. 

    Written Aristotelian Oath a écrit:
    I (NAME) take an oath before Aristotle and by the Holy Scriptures to act always and primarily in the interest of the Aristotelian, Apostolic and Roman Church. 
    I (NAME), commit myself to pronounce the oaths and/or accept the Canon obligations proceeding from the office that is to be accredited. 
    I (NAME), accept to be subjected to the Aristotelian triple obedience: obedience to the hierarchy established by Christos, the obedience to the dogmas, the obedience to the Canon. 
    I, (NAME), take an oath before Christos and by the Holy Scriptures to always and primarily serve the Pope and his representatives. Likewise, I recognise all my other allegiances, deferences and obligations as subjected to this oath. 
    I (NAME) take an oath before Arnvald and by the Holy Scriptures to respect this oath to the day I die or to the day I will be canonically relieved of it. 

    A member of the Regular Roman Chapter will attend to verify that all the above conditions are fulfilled. He may request and collect the testimonies that he requires necessary. He will then compose a report to the CDF, while the final decision depends on the chancellor after the consulting vote of the Regular Roman Chapter. 

    The conclusion of the labelling is a Res Parendo religious ceremony on the model of appointment to a Roman clerical office. 


    3.5.1.2 Labelling of a group

    This accreditation concerns groups having religious or secular activities and wishing to obtain the rights and obligations pertaining to the Aristotelian label. For the secular groups, it is a definite stage, but for a postulant of the ORR status, it is just a preliminary acknowledgement. This phase is a period during which the postulant Order will be judged and tested for its good faith, the profoundness of its engagement and its members. This procedure of labelling can also concern the religious wing of a postulant having the status of OMR. 

    The group has to deposit a complete file to the Roman Regular Chapter proving: 

    - the presence of ten active members; 
    - that all its members are Aristotelian believers; 
    - that all the members who have committed crimes or malefactions have confessed and been purged by their sins; 
    - that the leading and high ranking members have no problems with Justice and are baptised; 
    - that the group possesses a statute imposing the Aristotelian religion as unique faith of the Order; 
    - this statute has to be in conformity with the Canon and the Dogma; 
    - the integration in the statute of the present oath which is obligatory for every member of the group; 

    Written Obligatory Oath a écrit:
    I (NAME) take an oath before Aristotle and by the Holy Scriptures to act always and primarily in the interest of the Aristotelian, Apostolic and Roman Church. 
    I (NAME), accept to be subjected to the Aristotelian triple obedience: obedience to the hierarchy established by Christos, the obedience to the dogmas, the obedience to the Canon. 
    I, (NAME), take an oath before Christos and by the Holy Scriptures to always and primarily serve the Pope and his representatives. Likewise, I recognise all my other allegiances, deferences and obligations as subjected to this oath. 
    I (NAME) take an oath before Arnvald and by the Holy Scriptures to respect this oath to the day I die or to the day I will be canonically relieved of it. 


    - the completed process of labelling for two of the leading members of the group; 
    - the patronage of two Aristotelian (arch)bishops; 
    - the appointment in an accredited parish of an accredited clergyman according to the rules of the CDF. 

    A member of the Regular Roman Chapter will attend to verify that all the above conditions are fulfilled. He may thus have full access to the interior of the postulant group. Likewise, all the members of the group have to give sincere and straight answers. He will then compose a report to the CDF, while the final decision depends on the chancellor after the consulting vote of the Regular Roman Chapter. 

    3.5.1.3 Labelling of a building

    This article concerns all buildings dedicated to regular monastic use like abbeys, monasteries, priories and convents, not directly connected to ORs, which are excepted from the following procedure. The creation of such a building may only be the result of an already labelled religious group, and the role of the CFD is limited to verifying: 
    - the preliminary accreditation of the aforesaid group; 
    - the authorisation of the metropolitan archbishop of the archdiocese where the building is located; 
    - in the Res Parendo level, the authorisation of the establishment or a donation of grounds by a noble member or a member belonging to the temporal local power; 
    - the completed process of labelling for two future administrators of this building. 

    A member of the Regular Roman Chapter will attend to verify that all the above conditions are fulfilled. He will then compose a report to the CDF, while the final decision depends on the chancellor after the consulting vote of the Regular Roman Chapter. 


    3.5.1.4 Acknowledged Religious Order

    The procedure of acknowledgment specifically for the postulants ORR is just a beginning. The labelling is just a preliminary acknowledgement. This phase is a period during which the postulant Order will be will be judged and tested for its good faith, the profoundness of its engagement and of its members. This period can be very long and there are no set maximum limits. On the other hand, the minimum limit is set to four months of repeated and justified engagements of a total duration proportional to the life of the Order. It has to participate as much as possible in the life of the Church in the congregations of Rome and in the secular clergy of the dioceses. It will also try to collaborate and coordinate with its homologous ORR in every common religious, ritual and sacramental activity. 

    A labelled Aristotelian group which postulates for the ORR statute has to deposit a complete file to the Roman Regular Chapter proving: 

    - that the group has been labelled for at least four months; 
    - the presence of at least twenty baptised members; 
    - the presence of five active members amidst the secular clergy (deacon, priest…) and in the Roman congregations; 
    - the patronage of four (arch)bishops and/or rectors of ORR; 
    - that the internal statute includes: election and control processes of all its members at minimum; 
    - that the Order distinguishes clearly the three ways in its interior: secular clergy, regular clergy and oblates; 
    - that the Order assures a religious formation of its members during a period of noviciate before their definite acceptance in the Order. 

    The Roman Regular Chapter is to assure that all these conditions are fulfilled. So, it will have complete access to the domain of the postulant group. Likewise, all the members of the group have to give sincere and straight answers. The RRC will then compose a report to the Curia for the final decision. 


    Book 3.6 The Roman Regular Chapter

    The RRC is the apostolic institution affiliated to the Congregation diffusion de la foi. It has the duty of supervising the actions of the regular clergy; it functions as a link between the various Aristotelian Orders and it also permits the organisation and the coordination of all religious, ritual and sacramental common activities. It has also the duty to deliver certain accreditations as described in this text. 

    The above mentioned Chapter is presided over by the Chancellor of the Congregation diffusion de la foi or by the clergyman appointed by the aforesaid Chancellor. The Rectors of the ORR and the Grand Priests of the OMR and one representative duly acknowledged according to the standing rules of the concerned Order are also full right members of the RRC. Other entries can be proposed by anyone of the members, while their definite nomination pertains to the Chancellor, who also has the right of veto.
