RELATOR GENERAL. - Title of one of the official prelates of the Sacred Congregation of Rites (v.). He presides over the historical section, created within that Congregation by Pius XI, with the motu proprio of 6 February 1930 (AAS, 22 [1930], pp. 87-88), for the study of the historical causes of the servants of God and for the emendation of the liturgical books, and in general for all questions of a historical-critical nature arising in the functioning of the Dicastery.
The relator general has the task of directing the research and studies within the competence of the section, assisted by a vice relator general, by some study assistants and by a competent number of consultors, specialized in the historical disciplines. He presides over the meetings of said consultors and formulates their conclusions to be presented to the cardinal prefect. As an official prelate of the Congregation he takes part in the meetings of the Congress and in those of the Congregation of Cardinals.
