In the Catholic Church , an apostolic visitor or Apostolic Visitator is a papal representative with a transient mission to perform a canonical visitation of relatively short duration. The visitor is deputed to investigate a special circumstance in a diocese or country, and to submit a report to the Holy See at the conclusion of the investigation. History Apostolic visitors are church officials whom canonists commonly class with papal legate s. Visitors differ from other Apostolic delegate s, principally in this, that their mission is only transient and of comparatively short duration. In ancient times, the popes generally exercised their right of inspecting the dioceses of various countries through their nuncio s or delegates c. 1, Extravag. Comm. de Consuet. I, 1 c. 17, X, de Cens. III, 39 , though they occasionally, even in the primitive ages, sent special visitors. In the modern time, the mission of papal nuncio s is rather of a diplomatic than of a visitatorial character. Visitors are, however, deputed by the pope for special emergencies and not at stated intervals. Their duty is to inspect the state of the Church in the country confided to them and then to draw up a report to the Holy See. At times, this visitation is made with the same attention to details as is an episcopal visitation. Visitors Apostolic are also appointed to visit the various provinces of a religious order, whenever, in the judgment of the pope, this becomes useful or necessary. In all cases of Apostolic visitation, the pope, through delegates, is putting into effect the supreme and immediate jurisdiction ... of the Apostolic Visitation.

It was abolished by Pope Paul VI in 1967. History According to some authorities, among them Amydenus De officio et jurisdictione datarii necnon de stylo Datariae , the office of the dataria is of very ancient origin, but that it is not appears from the fact that the business which eventually fell to it was originally transacted elsewhere. The Dataria was entrusted, chiefly, with the concession of matrimonial dispensation s of external jurisdiction, and with the collation the abstract of conferring of benefice s reserved to the Holy See . To this double faculty was added that of granting many other indult s and graces, but these additions were made later. Until the time of Pope Pius IV matrimonial dispensations were granted through the Apostolic Penitentiaria and as to the collation of reserved benefices, that authority could not have been granted in very remote times, since the establishment of those reservations is comparatively recent although some vestige of reservations is found even prior to the twelfth century, the custom was not frequent before Innocent II , and only from the time of Pope Clement IV the reservation of benefices was adopted as a general rule c. ii, De pract. et dignit.

History In later antiquity there were in Rome seven regional Civil law notary notaries , who, on the further development of the papal administration and the accompanying increase of the notaries, remained the supreme palace notaries of the papal chancery notarii apostolici or protonotarii . In the Middle Ages the protonotaries were very high papal officials, and were often raised directly from this office to the cardinal Catholicism cardinal ate. Originally numbering seven, Pope Sixtus V 1585 90 increased their number to twelve. Their importance gradually diminished, and at the time of the French Revolution the office had almost entirely disappeared.

Orphan date February 2009 An Apostolic Syndic is a Catholic layman, who in the name, and by the authority, of the Holy See, assumes the care and civil administration of the temporalities and in particular the pecuniary alms destined for the support and benefit of Franciscan convents, and thence provides for the requirements of the brethren. History To the Friars Minor , corporate as well as individual ownership was forbidden by the constitution or the rule. During the first years of the order s existence, the literal observance of this precept, being feasible as well as possible, presented no difficulty but as time went on, and the order developed as a vast organization, and spread over the whole world, countless difficulties had to be faced and fierce controversy arose, the quaestio de paupertate lasting for centuries. To preserve and safeguard as far as possible the letter as well as the spirit of the complete expropriation advocated by St. Francis, the popes adopted the fictio juris of assuming to themselves the ownership of all goods bestowed upon the friars. Thus the friars were legally regarded as mere users, the right of property being vested in the Roman pontiff, except in cases where the donors made explicit reservation in their own behalf. But as the civil administration of property in one s own interest is an act of ownership, and this was prohibited by the rule, such administration had to be exercised by a steward appointed, or at least authorized, by the Holy See. According to the Decretal of Nicolas III , Exiit qui seminat art. 12, n. 2 of 14 August 1279, the appointment of the Apostolic Syndic rested with the sovereign pontiff or the order s cardinal protector sometimes bishops acted as their delegates in this matter but Martin IV Exultantes , 18 January 1283 ... the interest of the community in whose favour he acted.

unreferenced date October 2008 In the Roman Catholic Church Catholic Church , the Apostolic Pardon is an indulgence given for the remission of temporal punishment due to sin . The Apostolic Pardon is given by a priest , usually along with Viaticum i.e. reception of Communion by a dying person, see Pastoral Care of the Sick, USA numbers 184, 187, 195, 201 . It is not usually given as part of the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick . However if the Anointing of the Sick is given with Viaticum, in exceptional circumstances or an emergency, it may be given then. See Pastoral Care of the Sick, USA numbers 243, 265 Prior to the Second Vatican Council , the Apostolic Pardon was called the Apostolic Blessing. According to the church, a person who is properly disposed by being in the state of grace i.e., the person has committed no known and unconfessed mortal sins who receives the Apostolic Pardon gains the complete pardon of all temporal punishment due to sin that has already been forgiven by the reception of absolution and the doing of penance, i.e., a plenary indulgence. The Apostolic Pardon does not forgive sins by the act of absolution it deals only with the punishment purgation due for those sins that have already been sacramentally forgiven. However, the Sacrament of Penance, or Reconciliation, which does forgive sins, is usually administered along with the Apostolic Pardon as a part of the Last Rites. Form The current form of the Apostolic Pardon usually takes one of two forms Latin Ego facult te mihi ab Apost lica Sede trib ta, indulg ntiam plen riam et remissi nem mnium peccat rum tibi conc do, in n mine Patris, et F lii, et Sp ritus Sancti.

A Commissary Apostolic Latin Commissarius Apostolicus is Commissary i.e. one who has received power from a legitimate superior authority to pass judgment in a certain cause or to take information concerning it who has been appointed by the pope, hence commissary Apostolic . History The custom of appointing such commissaries by the Holy See is a very ancient one. A noteworthy instance is the commission issued to St. Cyril of Alexandria by Pope Celestine I , in the early part of the fifth Century, by which that holy patriarch was empowered to judge Nestorius in the pope s name. English history furnishes, among other instances, that of the commission which constituted Cardinal Wolsey and Cardinal Campeggio papal representatives for the judicial hearing of the divorce case of king Henry VIII of England Henry VIII Tudor . Sometimes Apostolic commissions are constituted permanently by the Holy See. Such are the various Roman congregation s presided over by the cardinals. The full extent of the authority of commissaries Apostolic must be learnt from the diploma of their appointment. The usual powers which they possess, however, are defined in the common law of the Church . Commissaries can be empowered not only for judicial but also for executive purposes.

An apostolic school is a missionary college of the Roman Catholic Church , having for its object to cultivate vocations for foreign missions. History Apostolic schools, as distinct from junior ecclesiastical seminaries, owed their origin to Father Alberic de Foresta , S.J. b. 1818 d. 1876 . He formed the design of opening a school where youths who gave promise of an ecclesiastical vocation, and who were disposed to go and labour on foreign missions, might be properly trained. With the approval of his superiors, Father de Foresta opened the first apostolic school at Avignon in 1865 ref James Patrick Daughton, An Empire Divided 2006 , p. 37. ref The course of studies in the apostolic school comprised training in the Latin and Greek classics, in modern languages, and in mathematics. The residence of the scholars was near one of the colleges of the Society of Jesus the pupils attended classes along with the students of the college. In 1868 similar apostolic schools were established at Amiens and Turin in 1869 one was opened at Poitiers , in 1871 at Turnhout in Belgium and at New Orleans , in 1873 at Bordeaux , in 1874 at Tananarive , in 1877 at Dole and at Monaco , and in 1879 at Boulogne sur Mer . Pope Pius IX , in a Brief dated 12 April, 1867, blessed the work of the apostolic schools .... The apostolic school of Avignon relocated to Eremo Lanzo , in the neighbourhood of Turin.

Apostolic Expeditors in full, in Latin Expeditionarius literarum apostolicarum, Datariae Apostolicae sollicitator atque expeditor in Italian simply Spedizionieri are Roman Curia l officials who attend to the sending of Papal Bull s, Papal Brief s and Papal Rescript s emanating from the Apostolic Chancery , the Dataria , the Sacred Paenitentiaria and the Secretariate of Briefs . History In a restricted and specific sense expeditors or expeditioners are laymen approved by the Dataria, after an examination, to act as agents for bishops or others before the Dataria or Apostolic Chancery. They are members of the Roman Court. They differ from solicitor s as well as from wikt procurator procurator s or agents in general, who transact business with the Roman Congregations . A solicitor, strictly speaking, is an assistant to a procurator, doing the mechanical work of preparing documents. An expeditor is more concerned with matters of favour, privileges, Dispensation Catholic Church dispensation s and so on, than with cases in litigation. It has been the practice of the Dataria and Apostolic Chancery to carry on business only with authorized agents or expeditors, whose office it is to draw up and sign the necessary documents, receive and forward the answer given. They receive a certain fixed fee for each transaction, while procurators and solicitors generally receive a monthly stipend. The number of expeditors has varied. Cardinal Pacca, pro datarius , decided in 1833 that the number, which was then one hundred, should be regulated by the amount of business to be transacted. Circa 1900 there were about thirty.
