TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
From the early medieval period, it was expected that the many
bishops of Italy travel to Rome at least once every three years
to give a report of their ministry, with a footnote gran ng the
bishops of Sicily a visit every five years. By the eleventh century,
the idea of bishops visi ng the tombs of the apostles was a very
strict requirement for all within reasonable reach of Rome. The
age of discovery and the expansion of the Church into remote
corners of the earth made this an unreasonable burden in many
cases, yet every bishop was required at least to send a representa ve to Rome every five years.
In 1911, Pope St. Pius X established the rule for a
“quinquennial” (meaning “once in five years”) report, called an
ad limina. This literally means “to the threshhold,” and refers to
the expecta on that the visi ng bishop will go to the thresholds
of the tombs of the apostles Peter and Paul and to a personal
audience with the Holy Father. An exemp on was given to
so-called “mission territories,” which in 1911 included the United
States. The reports were s ll required, but could be filed by le er
with an office of the missions called “Propaga on of the Faith.”
This status was changed in 1917 and since that me all American
bishops have been subject to the ad limina. These reports, carefully kept in the Va can archives, are a treasure trove for historians, providing snapshots of culture and faith and a record of the
Church’s resilience even in mes of persecu on and change.
—Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
To increase our par cipa on of Lay Ministers, we
encourage you to join any of these ministries.
