Quinquennial Visit Ad Limina
A quinquennial visit ''ad limina'', or simply an ''ad limina'' visit, is the required visit of Catholic residential diocesan bishops and certain prelates with territorial jurisdiction (such as territorial abbots) to the ''thresholds of the'' ombs of the''Apostles'' Peter and Paul, and to meet the pope to report on the state of their dioceses or prelatures. It is a formal trip usually made together by all bishops from a single region (viz., an episcopal conference) to discuss with the pope issues specific to their regions. It is separate from other trips a bishop might make to the Vatican, such as to attend a synod. The ''ad limina'' visit happens every five years, or quinquennially. ''Limina'' is the accusative plural of the Latin noun ''limen'', meaning literally "a threshold; the head-piece or foot-piece of a doorway," and in a transferred sense, "a house", "dwelling", or "abode." The Latin preposition ''ad'' means "to", "toward", or "at." __NOTOC__ History In 1585 Pope Si ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
