History
Established by Pope Paul IV in 1555, the position was initially unpopular among the prelates. This individual was given the task of reminding the members of the Papal Court of their respective duties.[2] Prior to this, four General Procurators took turns to preach on the Sundays of Advent and Lent. Under the new system, one person would be appointed from different religious orders.
In 1753, during the reign of Pope Benedict XIV, the Brief Inclytum Fratrum Minorum reserved the office exclusively to members of the Order of Capuchin Friars Minor.[3] It was stated this change took place because of "the example of Christian piety and religious perfection, the splendor of doctrine and the Apostolic Zeal" found in the Order.[2]
