Refusing to accept her expected role of becoming an item of negotiation in an arranged marriage to strengthen a political alliance, Agnes of Bohemia (1211–1282), daughter of King Přemysl Otakar I of Bohemia and Queen Constance of Hungary, chose to use her royal dowry to finance construction of the first hospital, convent, monastery, and church in Prague committed to the teachings of Saint Francis. Her youth was influenced by nuns providing her education, by a strong familial precedent in the support of churches and convents, and by religious contemporaries. Joining the fledging Franciscan movement, this remarkably well-educated and deeply committed woman entered as abbess of the convent in 1234, dedicating her life to poverty without endowment, devotion, and service to the sick and poor. Agnes was beatified by Pope Pius IX in 1874 and canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1989. Her legacy remains in Prague today with the Gothic convent she constructed now serving as a premiere museum devoted to the Medieval and Renaissance religious art of Prague and Central Europe. Thus, the original goal of building a sacred space for sisters in order to foster spiritual mediation has now been redirected to provide the public the opportunity to become immersed in ecclesiastical reflection viewing the works of artists such as Master Theodoric, the Master of Vyšší Brod, the Master of the Třeboň Altarpiece, and others.

In 1852 King Victor Emmanuel’s ministers proposed legislation to recognize civil marriages in the Kingdom of Sardinia (Piedmont). This proposal was opposed by Pope Pius IX and other Catholic apologists who argued that it would result in undermining the official status of the Catholic Church and one of the church’s sacraments. Even worse it would mean that Jewish and Protestant marriages would be recognized. This legislation coincided with Mormon missionaries proselytizing in Torino and the public announcement that the church practiced polygamy. Catholic opponents of this legislation argued that even Mormon polygamous marriages would be recognized if the legislation passed. During fierce debates that took place Catholic apologists also claimed that Mormons formed alliances with other Protestant “sects” to push through the civil marriage litigation. The specter of Mormon plural marriages in a civil marriage system continued to be mentioned until civil marriages were finally recognized in 1865.

In the middle of the XIX century the Ressurectionist Fathers started the effort to create the college for the candidates preparing for the ministry (priesthood). Not forgetting about convincing the Pope to this initiative the funds were gathered. The Princess Zofia Odescalchi contributed greatly to this project and founded many grants for Polish alumns studying in the college. Together with the Count Włodzimierz Czacki she solicited in the Apostolic See for creating the college. The project, however, encountered many obstacles because of the lack of funds as well as the strong diplomatic opposition from the Russian and Prussian side. In spite of the diplomatic efforts especially in Russia, which opposed of the establishment of the college, in May 1865 the Pope ordered to create the Pontifical Committee for creating Polish College. In the same time cardinal Antonelli, Secretary of state of the Apostolic See, signed the nomination decrees of the members of the Committee. The president of the Committee became the cardinal Mikołaj Paracciani Clarelli. The Pope Pius IX strongly supported this initiative and with decree from 9 March 1866 Polish Pontifical College was established in Rome, nominating the previous day Priest Peter Semeneka the First Rector of the College. The Statute of the College was confidential, approved and divided into ten articles. The Polish Pontifical College, acting under the auspices of the Pope, was destined to educate young Polish people in the scope of philosophy, theology, the canonical law as well as preparing them for priestly ordinations. At cardinal vice-rector’s request the rector of the college was nominated by the Pope. The formal opening of the college was at 24 March 1866 and the next day six alumns started studying in the college. Among them was Józef Sebastian Pelczar, later the Bishop of Przemyśl beatified and canonized by the Pope John Paul II. The Polish Pontifical College has been functioning continuously since more than hundred and forty years.

Law Regulation

In the middle of the XIX century the founders the Congregation of Resurrectionist Fathers started the effort to create the Polish college in Rome. Besides many obstacles, The Pope Pius IX with decree from 9 March 1866 Polish Pontifical College was established in Rome. In the same year the detailed regulation was officially established. The Polish Pontifical College, was the institution acting under the auspices of The Pope Pius IX. Its aim was to prepare the candidates for priestly ordinations and for working on the territory inhabited by the population of Polish nationality. These territories at those times were under the annexation of Russia, Prussia and Austria. The Cardinal Protector watched over the functioning of the College with the assistance of the two deputes, whose duties were caring, observing if the rules of discipline are obeyed and dealing with the current administration of the College. The Rector could be nominated from the group of the priests from the Congregation of Resurrectionist Fathers, which meant the appreciation of the effort put into establishing the college and the role of The Congregation of Resurrectionist Fathers in its creating. The Regulation assumed the possibility of employing the numerous staff, which hierarchically and legally was supervised by the Cardinal Protector and the two priests deputes. Alumni were obliged to study philosophy, theology and law. Regulation of the Polish Pontifical College in 1866 was created according to the pattern of the Papal Regulation of the College Urbano in Rome. The content of these documents was almost identical. The minor differences were connected with the different aims of these institutions as well as the different hierarchical and legal subordinations. It seems that during the time of applying the rules of the Regulation from 1866 Polish Pontifical College fulfilled well the assumed aims and the tasks.

In his much quoted article ‘How to be a Counter-Reformation Saint’, Professor Peter Burke remarks on the ‘crisis of canonisations’ which afflicted the papacy in the middle years of the sixteenth century. That particular crisis, of course, was that there were no canonizations. As the veneration of saints came under attack from the reformers, successive pontiffs thought it politic to refrain from creating yet more. In the long pontificate of the late Pope John Paul II (1978—2005), the longest in papal history apart from that of Pope Pius IX (1846–78) — whom John Paul beatified, along with Pope John XXIII, on 3 September 2000 — there was another crisis of canonizations. In this instance, however, there were, in the eyes of some, far too many of them, devaluing the currency. Even the then Cardinal Josef Ratzinger was heard to utter words of disquiet. Indeed, John Paul’s saint-making policy was a topic almost as much for the secular press as the religious: ‘Catholicism turns to computers as the saints go marching in’ was the headline over a piece inThe Sunday Times.

E-governance is a paradigm shift over the traditional approaches in Public Administration which means rendering of government services and information to the public by using electronic means. In the past decades, service quality and responsiveness of the government towards the citizens were least important but with the approach of E-Government the government activities are now well dealt. This paper withdraws experiences from various studies from different countries and projects facing similar challenges which need to be consigned for the successful implementation of e-governance projects. Developing countries like India face poverty and illiteracy as a major obstacle in any form of development which makes it difficult for its government to provide e-services to its people conveniently and fast. It also suggests few suggestions to cope up with the challenges faced while implementing e-projects in India.
