| Summary: | Many of the elements of religious life addressed in the 1983 Code of Canon Law can be traced to practices of the earliest Christian monastics, especially cenobitic monastics. Among these elements is the requirement of a period of probation - now called 'initial formation' - before new members are permanently admitted into a religious institute. This study presents a historical-canonical overview of the stages and duration of formation in religious institutes, beginning with Pachomius in the fourth century and concluding with Pope Francis’ 2016 apostolic constitution Vultum Dei quaerere and its implementing instruction Cor orans De nombreux éléments de la vie religieuse abordés dans le Code de droit canonique de 1983 remontent aux pratiques des premiers monastiques chrétiens, en particulier les monastiques cénobitiques. Parmi ces éléments figure l’exigence d’une période de probation – appelée aujourd’hui «formation initiale» – avant que les nouveaux membres ne soient définitivement admis dans un institut religieux. Cette étude présente un aperçu historico-canonique des étapes et de la durée de la formation dans les instituts religieux, en commençant par Pachomius au quatrième siècle et en terminant par la constitution apostolique Vultum Dei quaerere du pape François en 2016 et son instruction d’application Cor orans. |
