What are Modified Statutes?

Modified parts of the Magnificat Constitution — when you think “Statutes” think “Constitution”. These are minor modifications concerning naming the Chapter (Article III.B.5), location of the Chapter (Article III.B.6), and incorporation of the Chapter (Article III.B.7).

Does the bishop have to review or approve the Modified Statutes?

Episcopal review or approval of these statutes is necessary for Magnificat to achieve recognition from the Catholic Church as an association (See c. 299.3.). The Archbishop of New Orleans has approved these statutes for his jurisdiction. The bishop of each diocese outside New Orleans must review or approve these statutes for Magnificat to establish itself in his jurisdiction.
