- Abstract
A number of canonical issues regarding the relationships between associations of the faithful and consecrated life are addressed within the context of the Church as communion. First, Third Orders are distinguished from other associations of the Christian faithful linked to religious congregations; some differences are illustrated by reference to a number of statutes. Next, the question of married members in the new forms of consecrated life is explored, offering a comparative account in relation to institutes with pontifical approval. With regard to the religious who join ecclesial movements, a series of criteria drawn from the teaching of the Magisterium and other theological sources is presented. Then, the issue of celibate members in some associations of the faithful is addressed, through a definition of the canonical concept of consecration. In light of the pontifical approval for new forms of consecrated life and ecclesial movements, the author argues that it is the duty of each charism to find the juridical form most adequate to its nature and development.
