| Summary: | In 1732 the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, known as the Redemptorists, was founded; it would have had its strength in the missions in rural areas. In the intentions of s. Alfonso Maria de Liguori, its founder, being good missionaries meant being good preachers, good confessors, good theologians and moralists. The Constitutions of 1764 represented the normative moment par excellence in defining the formation of the Redemptorists: it would take place during the years of the novitiate and the ‘studentate’, during which the novices would develop their religious and cultural preparation. In this paper we analyze the Ratio studiorum of the Redemptorists, the given instruction in the aforementioned institutes, the studied subjects, the adopted texts, with a look at the geographical origin and social extraction of those who entered the Congregation from 1732 to 1869. |
