| Summary: | The article surveys current statistics on the decline of religious institutes and societies of apostolic life in North America. In light of these 'signs of the times', the A. then explores various options for the juridical restructuring of institutes, both those foreseen in the Code of Canon Law as well as other options currently in practice. The aim is to assist religious institutes and societies of apostolic life, and the canonists who advise them, in an orderly preparation for a hope-filled future. Cet article examine les statistiques actuelles sur le déclin des instituts religieux et des sociétés de vie apostolique en Amérique du Nord. À la lumière de ces 'signes des temps', l’A. explore ensuite diverses options pour la restructuration juridique des instituts, celles prévues par le Code de droit canonique ainsi que d’autres options présentement mises en pratique. Le but est d’aider les instituts religieux et les sociétés de vie apostolique, de même que les canonistes qui les avisent, dans leur préparation ordonnée pour un futur plein d’espoir. |
