The Renewal of the Order redone 2018

25 Introduction to Undersecretary Rodolfo Caroli. He explained that he had not been able to prepare the documents on time because he was overburdened with other tasks as well as by the external conditions which made it difficult to contact the diocesan authorities. At this opportunity, he also asked whether other letters of recommendation should be sent immediately, or whether to wait until publication of the constitutions, to send just the draft of the constitutions, or to reprint the old Rule and send it to Rome too? 72 Without waiting for the delayed response from the Congregation, he appended the following documents to his letter of April 17, 1910, to Prelate Caroli: (1) letter of recommendation by the Vicar General of the Warsaw diocese, Kazimierz Ruszkiewicz ; (2) his own request as plenipotentiary of the General to the Pope for approval of the Order and approval of its constitutions for 10 years; (3) information about the Order; (4) a letter of recommendation from the Vicar General of the Mohylev archdiocese, Stefan Denisewicz; and (5) a draft of the constitutions entitled Institutum Fratrum Marianorum … . 73 The mail arrived in Rome in May. Even before he received these documents, Undersecretary Rodolfo Caroli responded to Rev. Matulewicz’s letter of February 7, 1910, which reached the recipient on April 22, 1910. He reminded him about the letters of recommendation from the Mohylev and Warsaw Bishops Ordinary; moreover, he asked for a letter from the General and for both the old and new constitutions. 74 Rev. Matulewicz could provide the missing documents to Rome only several months later. Under his cover letter of September 1, 1910, he sent (1) the request of General Wincenty Sekowski to the Pope for approval of the new constitutions for 10 years and for approval of the renewed Order; (2) the Rule; and (3) the constitutions of 1787. 75 72 See Document 27. 73 See Document 28 with appendices. 74 See Document 29. 75 See Document 30 with appendices.
