AMRSP renames itself to 'Conference of Major Superiors in the Philippines'

AMRSP/FB
The members voted to rename itself during its first online Joint Biennial Convention held last April 28 to 30.
“The decision was the fruit of a long synodal process among the members of the Association (religious institutes and societies of apostolic life) and of the Joint Executive Board,” the group said in a statement dated May 5.
“The decision was born from the desire to use the more inclusive term ‘consecrated persons,’ as defined in Saint John Paul II’s Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Vita Consecrata, in place of the limiting term ‘religious.'” it added.
Aside from being in line with the norms under Canon 708 and 709 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, the group said, the change is also in line with similar acts of renewal adopted by the Holy See when it renamed the dicasterial office from “Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutes” to “Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life (CICLSAL)” in 1988; and the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines when it renamed the “Episcopal Commission on Mutual Relations between Bishops and Religious” into the “Episcopal Commission on Mutual Relations between Bishops and Consecrated Persons (ECMR)” in 2020.
