National Churches (Rome)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

National churches in Rome emerged from charitable institutions of the Catholic Church that were founded during the Middle Ages and were affiliated with Roman churches. These facilities included hospitals, hostels, and others for pilgrims of a certain nationality. They were generally run by religious orders or spiritual brotherhoods and were supported by donations and alms. Often they were also associated with national scholae (predecessors of the Roman seminaries) at which the clergy were trained.

Until the unification of Italy in 1870, the Italian city-states also had national churches (which are now referred to as "regional churches"). Many of these organizations were expropriated by the fraternity suppression legislation in 1873. Through various agreements in the following decades and finally in the Lateran Treaties , many of the assets of the national churches were returned to the Catholic Church .
