Yesterday, 16 November, was the anniversary of Pope Clement XIV’s signing of the Bull Supremi Apostolatus in 1769 (-apologies, as I have already shown the above photograph of the document in my post on the Passionist General Archives). This document is considered the Magna Carta of the Passionists by which our Congregation was solemnly approved by the Church and given all the rights and privileges of the older Orders, the first Congregation to be recognised in this way. Father Gary at The Passionist Charism has two posts on Supremi Apostolatus here and here.
BTW, my father had his operation on Wednesday and is recovering well; thank you for your prayers.
