The Confraternity of the Holy Rosary is a Roman Catholic Archconfraternity or spiritual association, under the care and guidance of the Dominican Order. The members of the confraternity strive to pray the entire Holy Rosary weekly. ==History== There is insufficient evidence to establish the existence of any Rosary Confraternity before the last quarter of the fifteenth century. There were Dominican guilds or fraternities, but it is not known if they were connected with the Rosary. Through the preaching of Alanus de Rupe (Alan de la Roche) such associations began to be erected shortly before 1475.〔(Thurston, Herbert. "Confraternity of the Holy Rosary." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 13. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1912. 3 January 2015 )〕 One of the first was erected at Cologne in 1474 by Fr. James Sprenger.〔In the ''Plumpton Correspondence'' (ed. Thomas Stapleton, Camden Society, p. 50), a priest in London writes in 1486 to his patron in Yorkshire: ''"I send a paper of the Rosary of our Ladye of Coleyn and I have registered your name with both my Ladis names, as the paper expresses, and ye be acopled as brether and sisters."'' Even at that time the entry of the name of each associate on the register was an indispensable condition of membership.〕 The Perpetual Rosary is an organization for securing the continuous recitation of the Rosary by day and night among a number of associates who perform their allotted share at stated times. This is a development of the Rosary Confraternity, and dates from the seventeenth century.〔 The Confraternity was last reorganized by Pope Leo XIII in 1898 with the Apostolic Constitution, ''Ubi Primum''.〔("The Popes on the Rosary", Marian Library, University of Dayton )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Confraternity of the Rosary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
