Note 501 — Chapter I · JURISDICTION

This is clear from a note of the S. C. Ep. et Reg. to the constitutions of the Sisters of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin (23 July, 1860): “As regards the confessors, the Constit. Bened. XIV, Pastoralis curæ is to be observed, in accordance with which the confessors are to be appointed by the respective bishops.” In the constitutions of the Sisters of Nazareth, who have no inclosure, the same congregation decreed on 27 Sept., 1861: “As regards the Confessor. extraordin., the ordinances of the Council of Trent are to be observed, as also the Constit. Benedict XIV, Pastoralis curæ.” Cf. Müller, l. c. S. 140.
