Spiritual

Spiritual

The spiritual is an office in ecclesiastical institutions, filled by a Catholic clergyman. The office of the spiritual is nowadays found mainly in Roman Catholic priestly seminaries or religious communities. The spiritual is a Roman Catholic priest and responsible for the religious care and formation of priesthood candidates or religious. In courses, retreats and personal conversations, he teaches the foundations of Catholic prayer life and spirituality. However, he is also a personal companion and mentor as well as contact person in need and worries. In contrast to the leader of the priestly seminaries, the Spiritual may take the sacrament of reconciliation from the seminarians. He does not have a leadership function in the seminar and may not pass on any personal details or private statements to and from seminarians, even if they have fallen outside the confession, as in priestly seminaries there is a strict separation between Forum Internum and Forum External prevails. Der Spiritual ist ein Amt in kirchlichen Erziehungseinrichtungen, das von einem katholischen Geistlichen ausgefüllt wird. Das Amt des Spirituals findet man heute vor allem in römisch-katholischen Priesterseminaren oder in Ordensgemeinschaften. Der Spiritual ist ein römisch-katholischer Priester und für die religiöse Betreuung und Bildung der Priesteramtskandidaten oder Ordensleute zuständig. Er vermittelt in Kursen, Exerzitien und persönlichen Gesprächen die Grundlagen des katholischen Gebetslebens und der Spiritualität. Er ist aber auch ein persönlicher Begleiter und Mentor sowie Ansprechpartner bei Nöten und Sorgen. Im Gegensatz zum Leiter der Priesterseminars darf der Spiritual den Seminaristen das Sakrament der Versöhnung abnehmen. Er hat in dem Seminar keine Leitungsfunktion inne und darf an die Seminarleitung oder an Außenstehende keine persönlichen Details oder privaten Äußerungen von und über Seminaristen weitergeben, auch wenn sie außerhalb der Beichte gefallen sind, da in Priesterseminaren grundsätzlich eine strikte Trennung zwischen Forum Internum und Forum Externum herrscht.
