Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Origin of the Teaching Brotherhoods By the term Teaching Brotherhood as herein employed, is understood a religious body of men, either lay, or partly clerical and lay, and who, first, ordinarily take the simple vows of religion; secondly, are designated by the name of Brother; and thirdly, assume as special object the education of youth. The writer has endeavored to present a detailed account of the origin of the different "Teaching Brotherhoods" as they appear in the History of the Church. He has, wherever possible, tried to trace the foundation from the earliest conception in the mind of the founder, and to follow this idea in its development and final realization. Above all, his endeavor has been to discover any relations or connections existing between the communities, especially in regard to the origin of their respective rules and constitutions. These Brotherhoods appear for the first time during the latter part of the 14th century, at a time too, when their existence is absolutely needed. The Church, it is true, has always exercised the greatest solicitude for the education of youth, which fact is clearly evident in her repeated promulgation of decrees of different councils and synodal enactments relative to this phase of her mission. Her efforts too, in this respect, have been nobly and generously seconded everywhere and at all times by the clergy, as may be substantiated by reliable documentary proof. But, withal, a time came when, owing to increasing population and political disturbances, the task of providing for the proper instruction of the young became more and more difficult, and, as the clergy alone could no longer meet the demand made upon them, numerous religious communities of laymen sprang up to aid in this general apostolate of Christian education. Fundamentally, their origin was due to a religious motive, but, as we cannot dissociate education from religion, we may regard the educational needs of the time as sufficient reason for their appearance. Furthermore, it has been noticed that the element of competition or rivalry cannot be adduced as a cause for the origin of a single congregation.
