Topic: Benedictine Confederation

	Benedictine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Benedictines are usually members of the Roman Catholic Church or one of the churches of the Anglican Communion, although they are occasionally found in other Christian religious denominations as well.
		Outside a monastic context, "Benedictine" may also refer to a follower of another Benedict, especially a Saint Benedict or a Pope Benedict.
		"Benedictine" is also used as a more general adjective; thus, the papacy of a particular Pope Benedict may be called the "Benedictine era".

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Benedictine Order
		The first of the reforms directed towards confederating the monastic houses of a single kingdom was set on foot early in the ninth century by Benedict of Aniane under the auspices of Charlemagne and Louis the Pious.
		Though a Benedictine himself born in Aquitaine and trained at Saint-Seine near Dijon, Benedict was imbued with the rigid austerity of the East, and in his Abbey of Aniane practiced a mode of life that was severe in the extreme.
		Another phase of Benedictine influence may be founded in the work of those monks who, from the sixth to the twelfth century, so frequently acted as the chosen counsellors of kings, and whose wise advice and guidance had much to do with the political history of most of the countries of Europe during that period.

	Benedictine Confederation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Confederation has its headquarters at Sant'Anselmo in Rome, which is the seat of the Abbot Primate and hosts the quadrennial Congress of Abbots.
		The English Benedictine Congregation (founded 1216) ranks as the oldest Congregation, whilst primacy of honour is given to the Cassinese Congregation (founded 1408).
		Since the time of the Reformation, there have been independent Benedictine communities in the Protestant (especially Anglican) traditions which maintain official friendly relations with the Benedictine Confederation, although they are not formally linked with it or its congregations.

	Benedictine Life as School of Communion
		Every year the Benedictines at the Primatial Abbey of Sant'Anselmo in Rome invite the Benedictine monks and sisters of the area of Rome on the occasion of the feast of St. Benedict, and they usually ask someone to give a talk.
		It is not my intention, however, to present you with a theological or spiritual dissertation on the theme of communion, but rather with a simple series of reflections of a practical nature on the present situation of the monastic life, as I see it, grouping these reflections around the theme of communion.
		In Benedictine tradition, the role of the abbot as the one responsible for communion is fundamental.

		Paradoxically, the creation of the Benedictine Confederation was at the same time something of a resistance, on the part of the abbots and priors, to the pressures for greater centralization within the Catholic Church.
		Benedictine communities which are joined in congregations are united by common constitutions, in addition to the Rule of Benedict.
		As a member monastery of the Benedictine Confederation, Weston Priory is represented regularly at the Congress of Abbots and Priors.

	Benedictine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		A '''Benedictine''' is a person who follows the Rule of Saint Benedict, whether belonging to the Roman Catholic Church, or to one of the Anglican or Protestant churches.
		Whilst it is commonly spoken of as a monastic religious order, it is important to note that it is fundamentally different from other religious orders with their motherhouse system, insofar as Benedictine abbeys are autonomous, each having its own abbot/abbess and its own novitiate.
		Among the religious communities that also follow the Rule of Saint Benedict without however belonging to the Benedictine Confederation are the Cistercians, the ''Bernadines'' and the ''Benedictine Sisters of Grace and Compassion''.

		Since congregations are the present form of Benedictine life, it seems good to say a few words about the genesis of that form of religious association in the Church.
		Benedictine monasteries, each retaining its traditional autonomy, formed overarching associations usually with ‘daughter houses’ which began as dependent priories of their Abbey.
		This is one of the ways in which the structure of Benedictine life differs radically from that of the Dominicans, Franciscans, Jesuits, etc. whose person in authority in Rome is superior to the provincials and local superiors elsewhere.

		And if the Benedictine tradition becomes vacation spirituality or bookend spirituality and doesn’t penetrate the intensity of the life of laypeople, then in a sense your great tradition doesn’t reach and provide the depth that’s needed.
		We have formed a Community of Joseph that meets for three hours of intense prayer every week with middle managers and MBAs and senior executives, and they pray in the striving and the intensity of their life in the world, and they sing the psalms and then bring to prayer the reality of that world.
		That requires a way of thinking and developing out of the richness of the Benedictine tradition a spirituality that is compatible with and interpermeates the sacredness of each of their moments in the difficulties and intensity of their striving as organizational leaders.

		These sisters began asking why the male Benedictines were allowed to continue the European tradition of living in abbeys with abbots for leaders, while the sisters lived in convents rather than abbeys and had prioresses rather than abbesses for leaders.
		Because of such questions and the emerging answers, American Benedictine women began to realize a desire to claim their identity as true monastic women whose lives were an authentic expression of the Benedictine tradition.
