Dottrinari

The Dottrinari, or Preti della Dottrina Cristiana (in Latin "Congregatio Patrum Doctrinae Christianae"), in English called "Congregation of Christian Doctrine," is a religious institute of male consecrated Catholics. The members of this religious congregation add the abbreviation "D.C." after their names.

History

The institute was founded 29 September 1592 in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue by French priest César de Bus (1544–1607) as a community of priests devoted to the secular education of children. It was approved by the Holy See on 23 December 1597.

Later, the congregation was reorganized by Benedict XIII and Benedict XIV, who in 1747 joined the brotherhood founded in Rome in 1560 by Marco de Sadis Cusani.

Activities and Dissemination

Today, Dottrinari priests are devoted mainly to parish ministry, teaching and publishing--especially catechetical texts.

As of 31 December 2005, the congregation consisted of eighteen houses with ninety-three religious, fifty-eight of them priests. [Statitics from the "Annuario Pontificio per l'anno 2007", Vatican City, 2007, p. 1471.]
