De Religiosis

"De Religiosis" is a comprehensive and scholarly examination of the laws and theological principles governing religious life within the Catholic Church. Authored by Father Augustinus Leduc, O.P., this work serves as an essential guide to the canonical status of those living in religious institutes, societies of common life, and secular institutes. Written in the intellectual tradition of the Dominican Order, the book provides a systematic commentary on the ecclesiastical regulations pertaining to the obligations, privileges, and governance of religious persons.

The text delves into the nature of the religious state, the requirements for admission to the novitiate, the profession of vows, and the internal administration of religious houses. It also addresses the relationship between religious orders and the hierarchy of the Church, offering clarity on matters of jurisdiction and obedience. "De Religiosis" remains a significant historical and legal resource for understanding the structured life of consecrated individuals during the early 20th century. This work is invaluable for canon lawyers, historians of the Church, and those interested in the development of monastic and mendicant discipline.
