Congregation For Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs
The Sacred Congregation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs (Latin: Sacra Congregatio pro Negotiis Ecclesiasticis Extraordinariis) was a congregation of the Roman Curia, erected by Pope Pius VII on 19 July 1814 by extending the competence to the Sacred Congregation for the Ecclesiastical Affairs of the Kingdom of France (Super Negotiis Ecclesiasticis Regni Galliarum), which Pope Pius VI had set up in 1793. From the start, it was placed under the jurisdiction of the Cardinal Secretary of State. Its present-day continuance is as the Second Section of the Secretariat of State or the Section for Relations with States.
