A confederation ( Spanish </link> ; Portuguese </link> ) is generally a Christian voluntary association created by lay people for the purpose of promoting a special Christian charity or piety, approved by the Church leaders. They are common among Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans and Western Orthodox. When the Catholic group got the right to gather themselves groups that were built in other regions, it was called archconfraternity. [1] Examples include the various connections of penitents and the connection of cords, as well as the connection of the Rosary.
[1]The fair dealings of the common people in ancient times in Constantinople and Alexandria. In France, in the eighth and ninth centuries, the rules of the Carlovingians mentioned confraternities and guilds. But the first harmony in the modern and proper sense is said to have been founded by Bishop Odo in Paris (d.1208). It is under the request of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Confraternities nwere mmalite ha na mmalite oge emepechabeghị emepe, ma tolite ngwa ngwa site na njedebe nke narị afọ nke iri na abụọ. Isi ihe na ọrụ nke obodo ndị a bụ, karịa ihe niile, omume nke nsọpụrụ Chineke na ọrụ ebere. [2]
Some conflicts were spread everywhere, especially in the cities in the Middle Ages. Confraternities can be important and rich institutions for professionals, for example, the Scuole Grandi of Venice. Purgatorial societies and the law of flagellants are other special forms of antiquity. The Old French word puy referred to a musical instrument used in art, music, and song; the German meistersingers are similar, although the trade guilds are imitated in style. Beginning in the fourteenth century, northern France saw the rise of partnerships with other communities of men and women, organized around trade and religious worship dedicated to patron saints.
[3]Various other congregations such as the Trinity, the Scapular, etc., were founded between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries. From the last century onward, these holy associations have multiplied greatly. [1] The Archconfraternity of Gonfalone is headed by the Church of Santa Lucia del Gonfalone. Because of their white robes, they are known as the "White Penitents". They were founded in Rome in 1264. St. Bonaventure, at that time Inquisitor-General of the Holy Office, issued a decree, in white character, with the name Recommendati BV
Every Confraternity has a set of rules or regulations to follow which each member pledges to live by. Although the Catholic Church works in accordance with the confraternity, these rules are not a religious commitment, but only rules set to govern congregational meetings. [1] Some confraternities admit only men, while others admit only women or only youth.
[4]The religiosity of the members and their desire for a person's reward in life after death was shown by confraternity actions, such as helping to bury the dead by giving funeral robes or money to pay, attending funerals, volunteering in the hospital area, the organization that participates in. Religious days, giving to local orphans, selling and preparing bread for local religious ceremonies, leading convicts during interrogations, burying the dead during epidemics and other charitable works are available as agreed by the confraternity or parish priest. [1] Society cannot function effectively through government programs because it is also necessary to take care of things such as funerals, and to meet the needs of the poor and needy. While governments can and do develop programs to address these needs, they are better managed by grassroots organizations or the "neighbors helping neighbors" mentality.
The word can mean other things: The Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception is the most famous Marian apostolate in the Philippines known for giving the Grand Marian Procession parade in an unparalleled celebration.
[5]The Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament is an example of an Anglo-Catholic fellowship established in the Church of England that has spread widely within the Anglican Church.
