Talk:Theatines

Theatines still exist!

According to ReligiousMinistries.com and their hardcopy A Guide to Religious Ministries, the Theatines still exist — at least in Colorado and New York. That is why I changed the past tense in the article to the present tense, and why I edited "Demise of the Order" to "Decline of the Order". I would like to know how and when Pius X's 1909 Motu Proprio decreeing the union of the Theatines with the Congregation of the Holy Family was overturned.

Here is the relevant information from ReligiousMinistries.com (sorry, I could not get the exact link). From the homepage, select "Men's Groups" and "Colorado": "Theatine Fathers (C.R.)" is the third listed of four Colorado-based religious orders for men.

THEATINE FATHERS (C.R.)

Provincial House: St. Andrew Seminary, 1050 S. Birch St. Denver, CO 80222

From page B-47 of A Guide to Religious Ministries (New Rochelle, NY: Catholic News Publishing, 2004), there is also the following information about the Theatines:

St. Andrew Seminary's phone number is (303) 756-5522.

Vocation Director: Rev. Franco I. Plascencia, CR, Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, 1209 W. 36th St. Denver, CO, 80211 (303) 477-1402

Would someone be interested in contacting the seminary or Father Plascencia to obtain additional current information on the Theatines?

The Theatines (Clerks Regular) most definitely still exist. Their headquarters are in Rome. The Casa Generalizia dell'Ordine dei Chierici Regolari Teatini is adjacent to the church of Sant'Andrea della Valle (Piazza Vidoni 6).

The order's main website (in Italian) is www.teatini.it. They also remain active in other parts of Italy, Spain and parts of Latin America, as well as Colorado in the U.S.

For more than 50 years, the order has also published its own historical journal, Regnum Dei. Many articles in this journal are by academics unaffiliated with the order. Articles appear in the authors' own languages (predominantly Italian and Spanish, but occasionally English) and include many contributions to art history. Many issues of Regnum Dei can be found online at the following link: http://www.teatini.it/Regnum%20Dei/rd.htm.

Saint Giuseppe Maria Tomasi

Joseph Mary Tomasi was canonized by Pope John Paul II on October 12, 1986. I have changed the reference to this saint in the article accordingly. 68.65.122.80 13:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Post-nominal Initials

The official Latin name of the congregation is "Congregatio Clericorum Regularium." I wonder why they don't use the initials C.C.R. 68.65.122.80 13:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

well-known suppression of religious orders

"in 1860, through the well-known suppression of religious orders"? An explanation or link would be helpful, as this is not as well-known as the author of the article might think. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 17:57, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Congregation of Saint Alphonsus Liguori

what is this congregation of Saint Alphonsus Liguori? It is not the redemptorists which were founded over a century before. 2607:FEA8:FF01:4FA6:9450:C0DB:B2B8:AFF (talk) 19:54, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
