	Prelate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Catholic Church, the personal prelature was conceived during the sessions of the Second Vatican Council in no. 10 of the decree Presbyterorum ordinis and was later enacted into law by Paul VI in his motu proprio Ecclesiae sanctae.
		The establishment of personal prelatures is an exercise of the theologically inherent power of self-organization which the Church has to pursue its mission, though a personal prelature is not a particular church like dioceses and military ordinariates are.
		It was speculated that in case of a reconciliation of the Society of St. Pius X, the same status of personal prelature could be conferred upon that priestly institute, to facilitate its, still regarded as illicit, pastoral activities in dioceses but independent from dioceses.

	What is a corporate work?
		Relationship to the Church: Opus Dei is a personal Prelature, which is a hierarchical structure of the Church established by the Holy See.

		The faithful of the Prelature continue to belong to their local dioceses, while receiving spiritual formation from the Prelature and participating in its mission.

	The Da Vinci Code, the Catholic Church and Opus Dei
		As a personal prelature (an organizational structure of the Catholic Church), it complements the work of local Catholic parishes by providing people with additional spiritual education and guidance.
		In any event, the personal prelature status is nothing special: it is simply one of several canonical categories the Church has for designating an institution that carries out special pastoral activities.
		In contrast to the implication given by the book, personal prelature status in no way implies some special favor of the Pope or that Opus Dei members are not under the authority of their local bishops.

	OMM New of Note - Inside the Vatican Magazine: Lefebvrists to Return to Rome, Receive Prelature?
		The agreement foresees the granting to the Society the juridical status of a Personal Prelature within the Roman Catholic Church, allowing the four bishops consecrated by Lefebvre on June 30, 1988 (the act which led to Lefebvre's excommunication and separation from Rome) to be fully re-instated as Catholic bishops in communion with Rome.
		A Personal Prelature is an unusual Church structure, currently enjoyed only by Opus Dei, which received it in 1982 from John Paul II (Pope Paul VI, temporizing, did not grant Opus Dei's request for a Personal Prelature during his 15-year pontificate, 1963-1978).
		A Personal Prelature is analogous to a "worldwide diocese" and is directly under the jurisdiction of the bishop of Rome (the Pope).

		That it is a personal prelature with its own bishop directly under the Pope Because if it is all of those things, it is most definitely Catholic.
		A personal Prelature is a jurisdictional entity within the Church's hierarchical structure, presided over by a prelate, answerable to the Sacred Congregation of Bishops, and to which laity and clergy can belong.
		The word personal indicates that it is defined by persons, whereas, for example, dioceses and parishes are defined by geographical areas.

	Opus Dei - WHAT IS OPUS DEI? - Joining Opus Dei
		Incorporation into Opus Dei means, on the part of the Prelature, the commitment to provide the person with ongoing formation in the Catholic faith and in the spirit of Opus Dei, as well as the necessary pastoral care from the priests of the Prelature.
		On the part of the person to be incorporated, it means the commitment to remain under the jurisdiction of the Prelate in all that concerns the aim of the Prelature and to respect the norms by which it is governed.
		The bond with the Prelature ceases at the end of the term of the contract with the Prelature, or earlier, if the person so requests, by agreement with the authorities of the Prelature.

	Opus Dei - WHAT IS OPUS DEI? - Governance
		The Opus Dei Prelature is governed by the provisions of the general law of the Church, by the apostolic constitution Ut sit, and by its own Statutes (or code of law specifically applicable to Opus Dei).
		All the faithful of the prelature are responsible for providing for their own personal and family needs by means of their ordinary work.
		These costs are essentially those relating to the support and formation of the priests of the prelature, and of the curia of the prelature and the central offices in each region or delegation, and the alms which the prelature provides.

		But if he or she fails to correct the fault despite this admonition, the person should first be brought to the attention of the superior before the offense is made known to the others who will have to prove his or her guilt, in the event he denies the charge.
		But should the person feign ignorance, the others are to be summoned so that in the presence of all that person can be proven guilty, rather than stand accused on the word of one alone.
		But if the offense is detected and the person is found guilty, he or she must be more severely chastised according to the judgment of the priest or superior.

	A NEW WAY FOR THE CHURCH
		Opus Dei responds that the Prelature, as such, has certainly never been involved in improper financial dealings, and that those who have turned to the Prelature for spiritual guidance remain entirely free and independent in their professional lives.
		Pope John Paul II's granting of a personal Prelature to Opus Dei was a source of considerable controversy within the Church.
		First are the numeraries, all lay persons with academic degrees, who dedicate their lives to the Prelature, but may also take on jobs in public administration, universities, or other professions (Article 8 of the Statutes).

		The revision was not a complete revision and the authors carried forward many of their foundational traditions, rights and obligations by stating in the concluding paragraphs of the 1982 Statutes that anything not directly abrogated or superseded by the 1950 Constitutions is still in effect.
		His understanding was that the relationship between a person and a lay Prelature was simply one of mutual acceptability.
		If the person has made a permanent commitment to the organization and leaves with the purpose of removing himself from obedience, after a month's absence, he is declared an apostate, subject to punishment.

	The canonical status of Opus Dei (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Opus Dei is a personal Prelature of international scope with its central offices in Rome.
		The laity devote themselves to the fulfilment of the apostolic aim of the Prelature, undertaking serious and specific commitments, through a bond of a contractual nature, and without modifying their own canonical and theological situation as ordinary Christian faithfull.
		The Prelature of Opus Dei -which is an organic and indivisible pastoral entity- carries out its apostolates through its Men's Section and its Women's Section, under the government and direction of the Prelate, who provides and ensures the fundamental unity of spirit and jurisdiction between the two Sections.

		Apparently, a person can become a Catholic directly through them without becoming part of a local parish and diocesan structure because Opus Dei is a person prelature of the Catholic Church.
		In fact, Opus Dei's website says that Opus Dei is a both a personal prelature and a worldwide diocese and that it has its own bishop.
		It promotes an awareness of the universal call to holiness - the radical idea that every person is called by God to be a saint - especially holiness in and by means of one's ordinary work and daily routine.

		But whether members become “supernumeraries” and marry, or “numeraries”, “associates”, or “assistant numeraries”, and remain single, everyone shares the same essential vocation: to seek personal holiness while remaining in the world, particularly through professional work and through their ordinary duties as lay Catholics.
		They carry out their work without any interference from the prelature, living the same freedom in professional, political and social aspects of their lives as other Catholics.
		It is a fact that most former members of Opus Dei remain well disposed to the prelature and often do what they can to assist and support it.

		An apostolic administration is even better than a personal prelature.
		First, a personal prelature is not necessarily governed by a bishop; an apostolic administration, which is a kind of diocese, usually is. What is more, the scope of an apostolic administration's action is not limited to its own members.
		The Opus Dei, which is the only personal prelature existing today, is not subject to the local bishop for what concerns its members, but it cannot contemplate any external action without the local bishop's approval.
