The Catholic
Fraternity of Charismatic Covenant Communities and Fellowships
The
Catholic Fraternity of Charismatic Covenant Communities and Fellowships
is an international private association of members of the faithful
having juridical personality in accordance with Canon
322 of the Code of Canon Law. The Fraternity recognizes its
membership of the communion of the Catholic Church and its structure
in accordance with Canons 298-300,
304-311, and 321-329. It is the desire of the Fraternity to
identify itself with the salvific mission of the whole Church
in communion with the local bishop and with the Roman Pontiff.
The principal means by which the Fraternity expresses its relationship
with the Roman Pontiff is through a formal link with the Pontifical
Council for the Laity.
The
strengthening of ties between the Fraternity and the Holy See
gives additional clarity to the Catholic identity of the Fraternity.
