Other associations

From: Fr. Aloysius Deeney, OCD

The Secular Order is an Association of Christian faithful as defined in the Constitutions recently approved by the Holy See (No. 37). One of the major differences between Secular Orders and other associations is that the legislation is approved by the Congregation for the Institutes of the Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life and not the Council on the Laity. The reason for this is because it is an association that depends juridically on an Institute of the Consecrated Life, namely, the friars. The members of the secular order are lay members of the Church, with the exception of those members who care clerics (e.g., diocesan priests).
