In Catholicism, "of pontifical right" is the term given to ecclesiastical institutions (religious and secular institutes, societies of apostolic life) either created by the Holy See, or approved by it with the formal decree known by the Latin name decretum laudis ('decree of praise').[1] The term is included in the names of institutions, often capitalised in English: "Institute of [xxx] of Pontifical Right".[2]
The institutions of pontifical right depend immediately and exclusively on the Holy See on matters of internal governance and discipline.[3]
