Immensa Aeterni Dei
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Immensa Aeterni Dei is an apostolic constitution in the form of a papal bull issued by Pope Sixtus V on February, 1588. The constitution reorganized the Roman Curia, establishing permanent congregations of cardinals to advise the pope on various subjects. It has since been superseded, most recently by Pope John Paul II's constitution Pastor Bonus.
The immense Immensa Aeterni Dei called for the formation of 15 permanent congregations:
- Congregation of the Inquisition
- Congregation of the Segnatura
- Congregation for the Establishment of Churches
- Congregation of Rites and Ceremonies
- Congregation of the Index of Forbidden Books
- Congregation of the Council of Trent
- Congregation of the Regulars
- Congregation of the Bishops
- Congregation of the Vatican Press
- Congregation of the Annona, for the provisioning of Rome and the provinces
- Congregation of the Navy
- Congregation of the Public Welfare
- Congregation of the Sapienza
- Congregation of Roads, Bridges, and Waters
- Congregation of State Consultations
