Congregation of the Austrian Augustinian Canons
The Congregation of the Austrian Lateran Augustinian Canons (Latin Congregatio Canonicorum Regularium S. Augustini Lateranensium Austriaca ) is a religious institute in the Roman Catholic Church . It is integrated into the Confederation of Augustinian Canons .
history
The church reform initiated by Pope Gregory VII (1073-1085) led many canons to return to the old traditions. Development was interrupted during the pontificate of Boniface VIII (1294–1303). Pope Eugene IV (1431–1447) occupied the Lateran basilica in Rome with Augustinian canons in 1446 . From this the " Augustinian Canons of the Lateran " developed . In Austria-Hungary there were six monasteries of the Augustinian Canons of the Lateran since 1867 . In 1907 the monasteries merged to form the " Congregation of the Austrian Augustinian Canons ". While maintaining the independence of the individual monasteries, the congregation is headed by an abbot general - since 2017 the provost of St. Florian monastery , Johann Holzinger .
