Allocation
Allocution ( lat. Allocutio "speech") generally refers to a formal speech. In diplomatic usage it is the address or greetings of an ambassador to a meeting. Allocation is generally used to address specifically and precisely what one intends to do on certain occasions. This also involves a certain form of orders to the "gathered". Ultimately, doubts and discrepancies should be eliminated in principle.
Roman military importance
The term allocutio was used by the Roman generals for addressing commanders to their troops . This took place before or during a battle to shake up the fighting and to admonish them of their duties. The term was adopted by the ecclesiastical authorities and retained much of its original meaning for many years, especially when it came to "the struggle of the Holy Catholic Church ". An allocation to the establishment of five dioceses in the Netherlands , which became known on March 7, 1853, sparked considerable indignation among the majority Protestant population. Statesman Johan Rudolf Thorbecke , who had led the negotiations with the church , subsequently submitted his resignation. Even with his speech jamdudum cernimus went Pope Pius IX. into the fierce battle between the competing principles of truth and error, virtue and vice, and light and darkness.
Papal Addresses
Today the allocation in the Roman Catholic Curia and the College of Cardinals is understood as an address by the Pope on an ecclesiastical or political issue. The Pope can combine an exhortation with it or take a position on certain topics, but also make recommendations. The speeches of the popes are documented and partially published.
