Preceding agencies
Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship (formed May 8, 1969; 53 years ago (1969-05-08))
Sacred Congregation for the Discipline of the Sacraments (formed June 29, 1908; 114 years ago (1908-06-29))
Sacred Congregation for Rites (formed January 22, 1588; 435 years ago (1588-01-22))
Prior to June 2022, the dicastery was officially named the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments (only the first word being different). This former name has often been shortened to Congregation for Divine Worship, further abbreviated as Divine Worship or CDW.[2][3]
Sacred Congregation for Sacraments and Divine Worship[6] (Sacra Congregatio pro Sacramentis Divinoque Cultu,[6] later Sacra Congregatio pro Sacramentis et Cultu Divino[8])
Examining cases concerning the nullity of ordination.
Regulating the cult of relics, the confirmation of heavenly patrons in a diocese or locality
The valid authorisation of canonical coronations for venerated Catholic images decreed from a Pope
The elevation of sanctuaries to the title of minor basilica.
Giving assistance to bishops so that the prayers and pious exercises of the Christian people may be fostered and held in high esteem.
On 30 August 2011, Pope Benedict XVI transferred jurisdiction over unconsummated marriages and the nullification of ordinations to the Roman Rota to relieve the congregation of administrative burdens and allow it to focus on liturgy, its principal responsibility.[10][11] In 2012, the congregation added an office devoted to liturgical architecture and music.[12]
From 2001 to 2017, the congregation had primary authority over a nation's liturgical translations.[13] On 9 September 2017, Pope Francis weakened the congregation's authority with his motu proprio titled Magnum principium,[14] ensuring that, starting 1 October 2017,[14] the nation's Conference of Bishops will manage local liturgical translations.[15][14] On 22 October 2017, the Vatican released a letter that Pope Francis had sent to the Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacrament, Cardinal Robert Sarah, clarifying that the Vatican and its departments would have limited authority to confirm liturgical translations recognized by a local Conference of Bishops,[16] thus retracting a commentary which Sarah had published on 13 October 2017.[17]
In March 2021, following Sarah's retirement, Pope Francis charged Claudio Maniago, leader of the Italian Episcopal Conference's liturgy programs, with undertaking a canonical visitation of the Congregation of Divine Worship in anticipation of the appointment of a new prefect.[18][19] Francis then named Arthur Roche prefect on 27 May 2021.[20]
In 2001 the congregation established the Vox Clara Committee, composed of senior bishops from episcopal conferences throughout the English-speaking world. It advises the congregation on English-language liturgical texts and their distribution. It meets in Rome.[21]
