The scope of this collection is to make known Secular Institutes by means of the documents of the Church. Such documents are not easy to come by and for this reason they are often unknown. By this present initiative, the World Conference of Secular Institutes proposes to make accessible to those who are interested whatever their reasons the documents which express the mind of the magisterium of the Church on this movement raised up by the Holy Spirit who continually renews the face o the earth.
