Sacred Congregation of Rites
Former Congregation of the Roman Curia
The Sacred Congregation of Rites was a congregation of the Roman Curia , erected on 22 January 1588 by Pope Sixtus V by Immensa Aeterni Dei ; it had its functions reassigned by Pope Paul VI on 8 May 1969.
The Congregation was charged with the supervision of the liturgy , the dispensation of the decrees of Canonical coronations , other various sacraments , and the process of canonization of saints . With the modern reforms of Pope Paul VI after the Second Vatican Council , it was divided into the Congregation for the Causes of Saints and the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments .
The secretary , or second-highest official of the Congregation once served as the personal sacristan to the Pope .
