The Apostolic Personnel Administration St. John Maria Vianney ( Latin : Apostolica Administratio personalis Sancti Ioannis Mariae Vianney , pt. Administração Apostólica Pessoal S. João Maria Vianney ) is a Roman Catholic institution based in Campos dos Goytacazes for the benefit of ancient ritualists in the area and within the borders of the diocese of Campos .

Emergence

It goes back to the work of the former Bishop Antônio de Castro Mayer (1904–1991, declared excommunicated on July 1, 1988 by Cardinal Bernardin Gantin ). During his tenure as Bishop of Campos, De Castro Mayer did not introduce the liturgical books of the Roman Catholic Church, which were renewed after Vatican II, in his diocese. After his resignation in 1981, under the name of the “Priests' Association of St. Johannes Maria Vianney ”( União Sacerdotal São João Maria Vianney ,“ SSJV ”) an ancient ritualistic alternative organization to the diocese led by his properly appointed successor, Bishop Carlos Alberto Etchandy Gimeno Navarro . The association he founded survived the death of its founder (April 25, 1991) in cooperation with the Lefebvre Society of St. Pius X. Its bishops Bernard Tissier de Mallerais , Alfonso de Galarreta and Richard Williamson issued a grant on July 28, 1991 in São Fidelis in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro the chairman of the priests' association, the former diocesan priest Licínio Rangel (1936–2002), the episcopal ordination .

A decade later (from the end of 2000) Licinio Rangel negotiated with the Vatican the modalities of a return of the “Association of St. Johannes Maria Vianney “(SSJV) and her 25 priests into the full communion of the Roman Catholic Church. This included that the association was established under canon law on January 18, 2002 as Apostolic Personnel Administration on the territory of the Diocese of Campos. At the end of 2001 Rangel's excommunication was lifted, he himself was appointed titular bishop of Zarna and appointed first apostolic administrator. Due to serious illness he received on 28 June 2002 a bishop coadjutor in the person of the titular bishop of Cedamusa appointed Fernando Areas Rifan (born October 25, 1950). This was ordained bishop on August 18, 2002 by Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos , prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy , and Licinio Rangel according to the older Roman Pontifical (in its 1962 version). With the death of his predecessor on December 16, 2002, Bishop Rifan succeeded him.

present

Personnel administration counted 34 priests and almost 33,000 believers in 2014 (compared to 89 priests and 957,000 believers in the diocese of Campos in 2013). She uses the liturgical books of the Roman Rite as they were under Pope John XXIII. have been in force (“ Liturgy of 1962 ”). The concelebration of Eucharistic celebrations in the renewed form is not, however, refused.

The union with the SSJV is seen by some as a model for a possible reunification of the Society of St. Pius X with the Roman Pope.
