On January 11, 1951, The Vatican issued a Decree banning "members of the clergy" from belonging to a Rotary club association. According to the Decree, lay people are permitted to join as long as they adhere to the provisions set forth in Canon Law, butpriests are explicitly forbidden from belonging to Rotary or participating in their meetings. The WILD VOICE continues to research this, but to the best of our knowledge at this time the Decree has never been officially lifted, rescinded or annulled. We are most interested in providing true and accurate information and so now respectfully reach out and askany qualified parties (Canon lawyers, Vatican historians, etc.) to please contact us if they are aware of any credible documentation detailing exactly on what date and by whose authority this Papal Decree was officially nullified or amended, if it ever was. We will immediately update and edit this article as necessary with respect to any new verifiable information.

Dakujem za odkazMore
