A congregation is a term describing non-incorporated privately owned trust entities first formed within the apparatus of the Roman Death Cult since the 16th Century to replace the previous formal organs consumed into the Capuchin and Jesuit Orders.

The word congregation comes from the Latin “congregation” which itself comes comes from two Latin words con meaning “with, together” and gregatio meaning “herd (of animals) or crowd of common people”. The literal meaning is “union, assembly or society for the common people or animals.

The term “congregation” in context of the Roman Death Cult now applies not only to departments or “Dicasteries” within the Roman Curia but particular institutes or Orders which may also have been established as a private trust (congregation) in contrast to other formal legal frameworks such as a company or corporation.

The first congregation formed within the Roman Death Cult hierarchy was the Sacra Congregatio Inquisitionis or simply the “Holy Inquisition” instituted by Roman Pontiff Paul II (III) (1534-1549) (Alessandro Farnese (Orsini), Venice) with the Constitution Licet ab initio, dated July 21,1542. There is no physical evidence of any Congregation of Inquisition ever existing before this time.

The establishment of permanent congregations as Dicasteries (departments) within the Roman Curia was Roman Pontiff Sixtus II (V) (1585-1590) (Felice Peretti di Montalto, Venice) through the Constitution Immensa dated January 22, 1588.

In 1908, Roman Pontiff Pius IX (X) (1903-1914) (Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, Venice) modified the Congregations of the Roman Curia through the Constitution Sapienti consilio. A significant reorganization again took place under Roman Pontiff Paul V (VI) (1963-1978) (Giovanni Battista Montini, Concesio) through the Constitution Regimini Ecclesiae Universae dated Aug. 15, 1967 and again under Roman Pontiff John Paul II (1978-2005) (Karol Józef Wojtyła, Poland) through the Apostolic Constitution Pastor bonus, dated June 28, 1988.
