Ordo Salib Suci: Perbedaan antara revisi

Menurut cerita sesuai tradisi mereka, para ''Krosier'' berawal dari lima pria yang tergabung dalam rumah tangga uskup-pangeran dari Liège, Radulf von Zähringen yang mendampingi Kaisar Frederick Barbarossa pada padadalam Perang Salib Ketiga ([[1189]]-[[1191]]). Pada kepulangan mereka setelah perang yang dipimpin oleh Theodorus de Cellis ([[1166]]-[[1236]]),<ref name="ref">{{cite news|title=Klooster Ter Apel wordt gerestaureerd|url=http://www.refdag.nl/nieuws/binnenland/klooster_ter_apel_wordt_gerestaureerd_1_203419|accessdate=6 October 2010|newspaper=[[Reformatorisch Dagblad]]|date=20 February 2007}}</ref> ingin mencari carajalan hidup yang baru, dan tak lama sebelum kematiannya, mereka diangkat uskup menjadi kanonik Katedral St Lambert di Liège.

Ini adalah awal terbentukterbentuknya Ordo Salib Suci, rumah dan gereja kecil yang didedikasikan untuk Santo Theobald dijadikan asrama induk Ordo. [[Paus Innosensius III]] secara lisan menyetujui Ordo mereka pada hari raya [[Pesta Salib Suci]], 3 Mei 1210, dankemudian [[Paus Innosensius IV]] memberikan persetujuan penuh dan akhirterakhir pada tahun [[1248]]. Ordo mereka dinamakan Ordo Sanctae Crucis Canonicorum Regularum Sub Regula S. Agustini, yang pada kemudian hari disingkat menjadi Ordo Sanctae Crucis, OSC (Ordo Salib Suci), sebuah kelompok kanonik, pencinta liturgi, yang bersandar pada regula Santo Agustinus. Dengan membawa bekal pro negatio Crucis, berbakti demi kepentingan salib, OSC mulai menyebar ke [[PerancisPrancis]], [[Inggris]], [[Skotlandia]], [[Jerman]], dan [[Belanda]].<!--

The Order flourished in the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, and at its greatest extent had about ninety houses scattered across northern Europe. But those in England and in parts of the Netherlands and Germany were suppressed during the [[Protestant Reformation]], and almost all of those that survived, notably in France and Belgium, including the ancient motherhouse at Huy, were suppressed in the closure of monasteries and convents after the French Revolution. By 1840, only two Crosier houses remained, both in the Netherlands (that of St. Agatha, outside of Cuijk, and that in Uden, both in North Brabant), and they seemed likewise doomed to extinction by the decree of King William I of the Netherlands, which forbade religious houses in his realm to admit novices. When King William II lifted his father's ban on September 14, 1840, only four elderly Crosiers remained: the youngest around sixty and the oldest, Father William Kantor, the only Crosier able to remember his Order as it had been before the Revolution. Thereafter the Order slowly began to recover. In second half of the 19th century, the Crosiers returned to their Belgian birthplace, and even made an effort to transplant the Order outside of Europe to the United States when their [[Master General]] sent some members to Bay Settlement, Wisconsin, in 1857. That attempt failed, however, and it was not until the first decades of the 20th century that the Crosiers were able to establish themselves outside of Europe, in the U.S., Brazil, Indonesia, and the Congo. There are still Crosiers in all these places, and the Order presently numbers about four hundred men. In the United States today, the Crosiers have priories in Phoenix, Arizona and Onamia, Minnesota.

The members of the Order usually reside in houses called priories, so called because they are under the governance and direction of a [[prior]] whom the members elect. The Order is divided into districts called provinces, which are under the governance and direction of a prior provincial, who is elected by the provincial chapter, the formal assembly of delegates from the priories in the province who have been elected by the members of these houses. At the time of this writing, the Order has provinces in Europe, the U.S., Indonesia, and Brazil. Two other parts of the Order, in the Congo and Irian Jaya (formerly the western part of the island of New Guinea) hold the status of "regions," i.e., have a certain independence from the provinces that supervise them, but have not yet achieved the status of provinces. The entire Order is under the governance and direction of its Master General, who is elected by the general chapter, the formal assembly of delegates from the Order's provinces and regions who have been elected by their members. Priors, priors provincial, and masters general of the Order are all elected for specific terms.

Catholic men who wish to enter the Order undergo a period of consideration and review, after which they may be accepted for a year of novitiate. Upon conclusion of his novitiate, a Crosier is admitted to a three-year period of temporary vows. Thereafter, a second period of temporary vows may follow or immediate admission to solemn profession, viz., vows taken for life.
