The Congregation of the Resurrection is a clerical congregation of pontifical right. It is composed of ordained and non-ordained members of both the Latin and Oriental rites. All the provinces, the regions and those houses directly dependent upon the superior general form the full Congregation of the Resurrection.
The general government of the Congregation is exercised extraordinarily by the general chapter and ordinarily by the superior general assisted by the general council and by the extended general council.Constitutions, 84-85).
