Doctrinal Congregations are specialized groups within the Roman Catholic Church that focus on specific theological issues and the interpretation of doctrine. They play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of church teachings and addressing questions that arise within the faith community. These congregations are part of the Vatican and work closely with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which oversees matters of faith and morals. Their primary goal is to ensure that church teachings are consistent and aligned with the core beliefs of Catholicism.
