Kodeks Prawa Kanonicznego z 1983 r. dopuszcza możliwość erygowania nowych instytutów zakonnych przez biskupa diecezjalnego. W rzeczywistości powstanie nowego instytutu zakonnego jest wieloetapowym procesem regulowanym przez prawo kościelne. Jednym z etapów tego procesu jest stowarzyszenie publiczne wiernych dążące do uzyskania statusu instytutu zakonnego. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ukazanie specyfiki tej struktury prawnej.

The 1983 Code of Canon Law permits the diocesan bishop to erect a new religious institute. In reality the process of the formation of a new religious institute is long and comprises a number of steps. One of these is a public association of the faithful intending to become a religious institute. The goal of the article is to present the particularity of this canonical structure.

The so-called exclaustration ad nutum Sanctae Sedis, in the Latin Church, gradually developed from the temporary secularization, i.e. in some serious instances a period of ex-claustration was granted to a religious. Such a practice came to life around the XIX century. In fact, the Apostolic See began the practice of imposing exclaustration in the early 50’s of the previous century. The imposition of exclaustration on a perpetually professed was exer-cised by way of an indult requiring of him living temporarily out of community. The above procedure was part of a protective measure of the vita communis, and it often was a result of circumstances independent of the religious, such as establishing a new religious institute or as a result of the challenges and difficulties faced by the Western civilization, which had a significant impact on religious life in the 60’s of the previous century. The exclaustration ad nutum Sanctae Sedis was imposed in cases, in which there was a need for a perpetually pro-fessed to be formally expelled; due to the formal or material impediment, however, such a procedure could not be executed. The new Code of Canon Law of 1983 adopted such proce-dures and they were finally included in the Code.

In this paper, the author accentuates the fact that authority in religious institutes does not only have a purely institutional character, but it also includes spiritual and community elements. The exercise of this power within the whole institute and at all levels of governance of the institute is made in both individual and collective terms, under the general and their own institute’s laws. Referring to the constant tradition of the issue of governing institutes he notes that the management of the institute cannot in any event be entrusted to the whole community as such. The essential tasks of a board in institutions, whether in terms of individual or collective management, are the organisation of the structures of community life and the protection of fidelity to the mission of the institute and its charisma. In the later part of the study, the author also indicates that a general chapter should not to be perceived in a mythical way, i.e. as if it were a panacea for all religious ills. In the institute of consecrated life, the board’s perfection depends not so much on the structures, but on persons with adequate natural gifts and an individual charisma. Deficiencies of individual superiors involving the inappropriate governance will not be removed by the action of a collective body that is the general chapter. Also, one should not be under a delusion that in the acts of the general chapter responsibility is spread over many people and it decreases individual responsibility. Besides, it is wrong to seek and promote the spirit of a democracy that aims to defend the personal rights of individual members or groups in a religious institute. This may sometimes lead to applying for rights that should rather be part of powers opposite to the Gospel. The general chapter, therefore, should be a sign of unity in love of the institute and express a common concern of all its members for the good of the whole community.
