Decretum “Nuper Nonnulli” {Translated jrom the Latin) GRANTED BY THE CONGREGATION OF BISHOPS AND REGULARS Separation from the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer Certain priests of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer in the United States of North America recently presented their most humble petition to our Most Holy Lord Pope Pius IX, that in view of certain special reasons he would grant that they might be withdrawn from the authority and jurisdiction of the Rector Major and be gov- erned by a superior of their own, immediately subject to the Apostolic See, and according to the (Redemptorist) Rule approved by Benedict XIV, of holy memory. If, however, this should not be granted to them, they most humbly asked for dispensation from their vows in the said Congregation. After having carefully considered the matter, it ap- peared to His Holiness that a separation of this kind would be prejudi- cial to the unity of the Congregation and by no means accord wich the Institute of St. Alphonsus, and therefore should not be permitted. Since, however, it was represented to His Holiness that the petitioners spare no labor in the prosecution of the holy missions, in the conver- sion of souls, and in the dissemination of Christian doctrine, and are for this reason commended by many bishops, it seemed more expedient to His Holiness to withdraw them from the said Congregation, that they might apply themselves to the prosecution of the works of the sacred ministry under the direction of the local bishops. Wherefore His Holi- ness by the tenor of this decree, and by his Apostolic authority, does dispense from their simple vows and from that of permanence in the Congregation the said priests, viz.: Clarence Walworth, Augustine Hewit, George Deshon, and Francis Baker, together with the priest Isaac Hecker, who has joined himself to their petition in respect to dispensation from the vows, and declares them to be dispensed and en- tirely released, so that they no longer belong to the said Congregation. And His Holiness confidently trusts that under the direction and juris- diction of the local bishops, according to the prescription of the sacred Canons, the above-mentioned priests will labor by work, example, and word in the vineyard of the Lord, and give themselves with alacrity to the eternal salvation of souls, and promote with all their power the sanctification of their neighbor. — 21 — Given at Rome, 'in the office of the Sacred Congregation of Bishops and Regulars, the 6th day of March, 1858. (L. S.) G. CARDINAL DELLA GENOA, Prefect, A., Archbishop of Philippi, Secretary. Decretum Laudis {Translated from the Latin) GRANTED BY THE SACRED CONGREGx\TION OF RELIGIOUS Approval of the Society and Temporary Approval of the Constitutions The year of our Lord 1859 marked the beginning in the City of New York in the United States of North America, of the pious Society of Missionaries of St. Paul the Apostle, commonly called “Paulist Fathers,” through the efforts and zeal of Reverend Father Isaac Thomas Hecker and his four associates, all of whom had been dispensed from the vow of perseverance in the Congregation of the Most Holy Re- deemer by the Sovereign Pontiff Pius IX. Forthwith by the authority of the Ordinary of New York, their Mother House was established to- gather with a Novitiate in the aforesaid city. These priests proposed to themselves, besides the general purpose of attaining their own personal sanctification, the special purpose of wor ing to promote the faith and piety of Catholic people, and especially to effect the conversion of those who are separated from Holy Mother the Church, by preaching the Word of God, by writing and publishing books and pamphlets, and in general by every kind of apostolic activity approved by Ecclesiastical Authority. All the members of the Society lead a common life under the direc- tion of a Superior General elected every six years. They take no vows, but upon the completion of their Novitiate simply promise, first, for a time, finally in perpetuity, that they will strive for Christian perfec- tion, by observance of their Constitutions and of the Evangelical Coun- cils, and that they will devote themselves to the labors of the Apostolic Ministry and to the duties entrusted to them. — 22— When, with the Divine Blessing, and a notable increase of member- ship, the Society had established fourteen houses in several Dioceses, with the consent and even to the joy of Prelates over the subsequent abundance of salutary results, the Superior General with his Consultors humbly petitioned the Sovereign Pontiff Pius XI now gloriously reign- ing to grant approval with Apostolic Authority to this Institute and to its Constitutions. Therefore, His August Holiness by Divine Providence Pope Pius XI in an audience given to the ]\Iost Reverend Secretary of the Sacred Congregation in charge of the affairs of Religious Orders on July 13, 1929, having considered the commendatory letters of the Sa- cred Prelates in whose Dioceses the Society has houses, and having hearkened especially to the petition of their Eminences, the ^lost Reverend Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, who are at the head of that Sacred Congregation and who had weighed the matter mature!}^ at a plenary session held on the fifth of July in this year in the Vatican buildings, was pleased to praise with abundant compliments, and to commend this Society, under the rule of a Superior General. Besides he benignly approved and confirmed as an experiment for seven years, the Constitutions of this Society, written in Latin as contained in this copy—the original of which is deposited in the archives of this same sacred Congregation. As by this present Decree he praises and com- mends the Society itself, so he also approves and confirms its Consti- tutions as given above, with due regard to the jurisdiction of local Ordi- naries in accordance with the Sacred Canons.

Since, however, the Society continues to abound in good works to the advantage of the Church, the Superior General with the approval of his Council has humbly requested from the Holy See the definitive approval of the Constitutions. His Holiness, by Divine Providence, Pope Pius XII, in an audience granted on December 17, 1940, to the Most Eminent Cardinal Prefect of the Sacred Congregation in charge of the affairs of Religious considering the letters of commendation of the Most Excellent Ordinaries in whose dioceses the houses of the Soci- ety are found, and having heard the judgment of the Commission of Most Reverend Consultors, benignly deigned to approve definitively, and to confirm, the Constitutions with certain changes and additions, according to the copy preserved in the archives of the aforesaid Sacred Congregation, so that by this Decree the said Constitutions are ap- proved and confirmed, all things to the contrary notwithstanding.
