Update
[edit]I have updated this article on the "Passionists" which reflected originally the rather dated description of the Congregation relying chiefly on an article found in the "Catholic Encyclopedia" that was written sometime in the late 1950's or early 1960's. The challenges of Vatican Council II and the renewal process that ensued were not particularly evident. The General Chapter of 2012 committed the congregation to a major restructuring that reflects more accurately the reality of the congregation in the 21st century. I am always open to suggestions or improvements, but I find the corrected version much more accurate and true to the unfolding history and mission of the congregation. I have sited primary sources for the congregation to confirm the changes made. Thank you!

How do you join the Passonists?
[edit]"After unsuccessfully applying to join the Passionists, Shaw was sent to British New Guinea in 1894 as a lay missionary with the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart." Archibald_John_Shaw.
How did you apply to join the Passonists? What is / was the basis for acceptance or rejection? ~2025-34218-42 (talk) 07:49, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
- The personal impression of the candidate and their individual circumstances (find out about the obstacles to admission to the canonical novitiate). Does he/she appear mentally sound and physically capable of living the vocation of the order? Depending on time and place, the candidate's age is also considered. He/she needs to have received the sacrament of confirmation. In former times, eing born out of wedlock was an obstacle, which, to my knowledge, dispensations could be granted.--Medusahead (talk) 08:38, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
