The General Consulta

‘For effective government of the Oder, at least four general consultors are elected, as established by the general statutes, to assist the superior general in carrying out his duties. Together with him they form the general consulta, and they assist him by consultative or deliberative vote according to the statutes and traditions of the Order. As consultors they have no jurisdiction over the houses of persons of the Order’ (Constitution,  n. 99).
