Profession

	Profession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Historically, the number of professions was limited: members of the clergy, medical doctors, and lawyers held the monopoly on professional status and on professional education, with military officers occasionally recognised as social equals.
		Professions are also generally exclusive, which means that laymen are either legally prohibited from or lack the wherewithal to practice the profession.
		For example, school teachers often refer to their occupation as a profession, even though it is not exclusive (people teach others outside of the traditional school environment), nor is entrance competitive, nor are they self-regulating (laypeople in state legislatures or on boards of education typically set the rules for and regulate teachers).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Religious Profession
		Profession for a long time was made by clothing with the religious habit: the aspirant could personally put on the habit or receive it, with or without ceremony, from the abbot or from the bishop.
		Profession was express, when made with the usual ceremonies; tacit, or implied, when the reciprocal engagement between the order and the religious was proved by outward acts; it was sufficient for this purpose to wear the habit of the professed members for some time openly and without objection being made in any one.
		Profession made or permitted under duress is null and void; and the Council of Trent passes sentence of excommunication on all persons who compel a young girl to enter a monastery by solemn profession, or who forcibly prevent her from doing so.

		The religious state then is defined, as the mode of life, irrevocable in its nature of men who profess to aim at the perfection of Christian charity in the bosom of the Church by the three perpetual vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.
		The essential unity of the religious life is consistent with a great variety which is one of the glories of the Church, and permits a larger number of men to find a religious profession adapted to their needs and dispositions, and multiplies the services which religious render to Christian society and mankind in general.
		Religious who have received any of the major orders in the institute, and those who have made perpetual vows, cannot be dismissed without the formalities prescribed for the dismissal of persons professed with solemn vows.

		Religious figures encountered the greatest restrictions on their activities when they engaged in activities that the CPV perceived as political activism and a challenge to its rule.
		Religious organizations must obtain government permission to hold training seminars, conventions, and celebrations outside the regular religious calendar; to build or remodel places of worship; to engage in charitable activities; to operate religious schools; and to train, ordain, promote, or transfer clergy.
		Religious groups faced difficulty in obtaining teaching materials, expanding training facilities, publishing religious materials, and expanding the number of clergy in religious training in response to increased demand from congregations, although these types of restrictions appear to have been easing gradually for several years.

	International Religious Freedom Report 2002: Croatia
		There was no change in the status of religious freedom during the period covered by this report, and the democratic coalition Government continued to contribute to the generally free practice of religion.
		The Government requires that religious training be provided in schools, although attendance is optional; however, in general, the lack of resources, minority students, and qualified teachers impeded instruction in minority faiths, and the Catholic catechism was the one predominantly offered.
		For example, religious leaders met frequently during the period covered by this report, both formally and informally, to develop suggestions for the government office drafting the religious legislation and to discuss other issues of mutual interest.

	CRRUCS Report 2000-2 \| A Better Kind of High: How Religious Commitment Reduces Drug Use Among Poor Urban Teens, by ...
		A teenager’s religious commitments also indirectly affect his or her drug use because religious adolescents are likely to have conventional friends as well as strong bonds to family and school, factors known to reduce adolescent deviance and drug use.
		Put differently, an adolescent’s involvement and participation in a neighborhood-based religious community provides a network of support that is expected to reduce the harmful effects of neighborhood disorder on his or her behavior.
		When individual religious commitment and age are added into Model 2, the neighborhood effect on marijuana use remains significant but decreases by 27 percent, from.48 to.35, whereas the effects on hard-drug use reduce by 33 percent, from.06 to.04, becoming non-significant.

	CONVERSION AND CHRISTENDOM:
		For the young Justin, a world-traveler on a religious search, the discovery of liberating belief was obviously important: the sense that ancient prophecies had been fulfilled in the coming of God’s Son, Jesus Christ; also the awe-inspiring, “terrible power” of Christ’s words, which could free humans from necessity and compulsions.
		Christians also used language of conversion when someone was professed in a religious order; by the eighth century this had come to be the primary meaning of conversio.
		So also did the rites of monastic profession, in which the newly professed monk’s death to his old life was symbolized by his lying under a funeral pall; indeed, some writers not only called monastic profession “a second baptism” but viewed it as more important than baptism (Malone 1951:125; Foley 1989:15).

		In a brief series of exchanges with Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va) -- the lone opponent of the resolution -- Schaffer vacillated between his insistence that the motto was an important religious statement and the claim that it had "nothing to do" with religion.
