The Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life promulgated in 2018 a document on the Ordo virginum, in the form of an Instruction, entitled Ecclesiae Sponsae Imago. Following the renewal of the Order of consecrated virgins sparked by the Second Vatican Council (cf. Perfectae caritatis 1) and its rapid flourishing in different places around the world, the document seeks to provide elements for the necessary adaptation of consecrated virgins to different local and cultural contexts. The article, after studying the structure of the document (1), explains its content such as the primary responsibility of the diocesan bishop (2), and some canonical elements such as chastity, recourse to psychological experts, association and age requirement and duration of formation (3), and finally presents the general of the document and some elements as limitations.
