Description:
Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium stated clearly that the consecrated life is a vital part of the Church and „undeniably belongs to its life and holiness” (LG 44). Religious communities should consider the needs of the Universal Church and individual dioceses (PC 20). Consecrated persons engaged into the force and the sanctity of the Church should strongly feel the need to cooperate with all those who represent the Church: its pastors, clergy, other religious communities and the laity, both theoretically and in apostolic activity.
