Sažetak
The church orders differ first of all because they are male and female. Their diversity is confirmed by the Second Vatican Council pointing out their theological identity in the radical following of Jesus Christ “while He is contemplating on the Mount, or announcing The Kingdom of God to the crowd, or cures the sick and wounded or converts the sinners to better life or while He is blessing children and doing good to all, always listening to the wish of Father who sent Him” (Lumen gentium, No. 46). Direct ecclesiastical view of the identity should be emphasized because the Church permanently points out, as well as Croatian bishops, that “consecrated life is not an isolated or marginalreality of life in the Church, but is placed “in the heart of the Church” and represents a precious gift for the present and future time of people of God, “because deep inside they belong to His life, to His sanctity and to His mission” (Called to Sanctity, No. 48). Ecclesiastical-legal view of this identity is not compatible to theological and ecclesiastic view because the Canon law generally leaves the care of relirioguses and nuns to bishops, and exclusively leaves to them the judgement of realisation of priests’ apostolic activities, i.e. the acceptance of their engagement in different missiones and estimations of becoming part of the mutual pastoral of the Church. It is justified to talk about historical views of the identity of religiouses and special care should be taken within the Church among Croats, because of historical heritage of some male orders and changes in work and life of religiouses and nuns during the communist regime.
